‘09 Rocky Mountain Rally!

This years Rocky Mountain Rally was much more enjoyable day than last year as the weather was %1000 better with not a drop of rain!

I only got out for the Saturday but I had a good time, met some good folks and got some good photos I think.

Drive on the Bow Valley Parkway

One of my favorite (paved) roads is the Bow Valley Parkway west of Banff. It is a lovely road to drive and reminds me of old highways from my youth. Barely two lanes wide (sometimes one) trees right at the edge of the pavement.

I’ve never really given the commonly sighted mountain sheep much notice, just slowed down and got around them. But on this day we were already stopped and they wander onto the road so we watched them for a while. Fairly amusing critters, I won’t count them out so easily next time!

Adventures with Rebecca

Back in December the ol’ bisbing.com favorite Rebecca (lotus) was in town so we set out with no real plans to take some photos. After digging around at Cats Eye vintage we had an outfit and we set off to find some locations. It was a fun time!

Jasper

Last fall on the way back from photographing a wedding in Vancouver we stopped for a night in Jasper and took the time to tour the area a bit in the morning.

Art on Walls

I hung a few pinups in the Calgary Tattoo Convention group show last fall. Nothing sold… I was sad.

Softball!

Last summer while visiting my parents we went to catch one of my Fathers softball games. These photos got a bit lost but I wanted to get them up here for my pops!

Huge Photography is published in PDN’s Top Knots photography contest

PDN (Photo District News) holds a Wedding Photography contest every year called Top Knots. This year I entered and was printed in the magazine! I am really excited about this, and I think the image printed pretty darn well.

The photo is from Susie and Drew’s wedding this past summer. It was a really fun day that got us access to a quiet Fort Edmonton Park.

Anywho, I’m really excited, so have a look here at the original image and a few snaps from the magazine. Visit this site to see all the other winners!

Dickfore Set Portraits

A few weekends ago my friend Luke Black of Pretty Okay Pictures was shooting his latest film which he is entering into the Calgary Super8 Filmmaking Challenge. It was my first film set… and it was a great day. Thanks to Luke and the whole crew for a most excellent time.

Here are some the ‘portraits’ from the day.
