My wonderful friend Grant Lawrence had his book launch in Vancouver recently - for “The Lonely End Of The Rink”.
Grant asked if I would take some photo booth shots with his goalie gear etc., which I of course did, and in the process I invented a new genre.
“Goalie Casual”
You can check out more photos HERE and be sure to get the book (click here) and check out the back cover, as that is my photo!
My last “Get Your Surf On” post on Vancouver Is Awesome actually involved me surfing. (The middle shot is from my friends at Tourism Tofino, I’m on the left, at the front carrying the board).
The post also has shots of some of the delicious food I ate. You should go check it out. And go surfing in Tofino, because that’s also fun.
Just posted again on VIA about Tofino…this regarding the Queen Of The Peak all-female surfing competition!
I really wish I had an insane lens like John Lehmann of the Globe and Mail did, but I made do by taking photos of the action on the shore. Including a lot of dogs being adorable.
There was even a 16-and-under comp called the Princess Of The Peak, which made me worry about failing miserable at surfing the next day (…pretty much what happened).
If I haven’t said it already, or you haven’t figured it out yet…I love Tofino.
My second Tofino post over on Vancouver Is Awesome was about my accommodations: Chesterman Beach Bed & Breakfast.
I took SO many photos, both of my gorgeous suite and of the beach I stayed on. The weather changes so dramatically in Tofino, but no matter what it’s like, it’s BEAUTIFUL.
There are some more shots on my Instagram feed that you can check out, and some in the article posted on VIA (linked above).
Can I go back now?
I went to Tofino again! This time to do some surfing…or, attempt surfing.
First step was flying there…passing over parts of the ‘burbs was strange. Looked almost Planet Earth-esque at times.
Check out my “Getting There” post on Vancouver Is Awesome.
Here are a few shots of my beautiful friends Jeff & Amy from their wedding in September at the Vancouver Rowing Club.
Shooting the weddings of people I know (and have photographed before) always feels amazing and I’m lucky to be part of their day.
…working on their slideshow today, so keep an eye out for that soon!
