Got a chance to grab some shots from the flash mob the Agency I work for set up for Kokanee and Skullcandy at the Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival in Whistler. Nearly 200 Mobbers raced out in front of the stage to dance to music only they could hear in their headphones. The Flash Mob was promoting the Kokanee Silent Disco scheduled later for that night where the music was pumped through to the dancers headphones. Check out more photos on flickr and on facebook.

I am very pleased to be presenting artwork at Local Colours – Art Exhibition at this year’s Wild at Art Festival.

You can purchase prints of the photos here.

Local Colour:
I live on the Mamquam river and walk my dog along the dike every morning. Just down from our house is this train bridge. On this particular morning the sun was rising with great warm colour and there was fog coming off the river. Definitely worth a run back to the house for camera gear.

Squamish is a community that is WILD ABOUT ART!

Each year the Wild at Art Festival curates an art exhibition of professional and emerging artists. The theme for 2009 is Local Colour and will focus on new artwork by local artists along the Sea to Sky corridor. Over 60 artists are expected to participate in the festival gallery this year, including a collaborative art piece by Squamish students.

The gallery is open Monday-Friday 12 am to 8 pm and Weekends 11 am to 7 pm

Please feel free to check out all the photos at the first annual Industrial Strength art exhibit.

There is an opening this Thursday evening.

My cousin, Tom has a brain tumor. It is him in the photo. He had it then.

He did 3 Ironman Triathlons that year. This (the second after Australia) was to qualify for Hawaii, which he did and he wanted to get under 10hrs, which he did. He also raised over $250, 000 for cancer research doing those races.

Tom is currently in a hospice in Calgary and I was fortunate to visit him last week.

To complete an Ironman Triathlon is to do more in one race than what a lot of people accomplish in a lifetime.

I am very proud of and inspired by my cousin Tom and love him very much.

Thanks to all the supporters who came out to the locations around Squamish to view and appreciate the local art.

I was fortuneate enough to have the opportunity to show some samples of my work (a number of which are included in my personal portfolio) in a gallery-like display. Attendance was good and I appreciated the kind comments from a number of people who came by.

I recently had the chance to photograph a condo in Vancouver for an architect client.

Even a small Midway on Logger’s Lane in Squamish can prove to be fun – to photograph. Not a lot of Carnivals with a backdrop like that.

I am please to introduce a simple but new redesign of my folio site.
Stay tuned for some slight changes to the blog.

While I have heli skied before, this trip with my colleagues from Origin was the first time I did not need to take a camera. It was such beautiful day I could not resist. Not bad talent either for a bunch from the office. Rip it Linds!
