Weird. Hostage situation at discovery channel headquarters. I'd be pissed too - shark week should be two weeks long! # 2010/09/01

Homeless pets in Ethiopia

Hello everyone!

My good pal, Molly Wald – photographer extraordinaire – is in Ethiopia on a photo assignment for the organization she works for, Best Friends Animal Society.  She is there to document the the problem of homeless animals in Ethiopia.  You encourage you all to check out Mollys photostream on Flickr and see what they are up to over there.  Also, be sure to check out Best Friends website to read more about the situtation and what they are doing to help.

Thanks everyone! Have a great weekend!

Clayton and Neasreen: A magnificent wedding!

March 11, 2009

Saturday was the wonderful wedding of Clayton and Neasreen! If I only had the space and time to post a ton more images how perfect the day was. The only thing that wasn’t in our favor was the weather – but not even that mattered one bit to Clayton and Nez.  Their wedding was actually split into two parts – the ceremony and reception dinner on the Saturday, and then on Sunday was a big event at a night club. Unfortunately, because of an insane lack of free time on Sunday I wasn’t able to attend this event (which according to facebook photos looks like it was an event unlike no other).

Below are a few photos from the morning – getting ready, and ceremony.  Clayton and Nez opted out of having their couple photos done due to the weather outside, and lack of time. So we’ll be doing some killer shots of them when they get back from their honeymoon in Thailand.

For the other photographers reading this post, this is the first wedding I shot with my new Canon 5D Mark II.  This camera is a dream to use, mind you, a very complex beast that needs to be tamed. This camera was a huge upgrade for me, and it’s amazing how fine I can tune this camera and make it mine.  I can put this camera in your hands, and you might have difficulty getting it to take a picture because I have it dialed in to specifically work the way I want it to work.  The high ISO capability is incredible, letting me shoot at ISO 1600, and even 3200 and get a very usable photo with very little grain. It’s awesome.  The only disappointment I have with the camera so far is it’s autofocus – it can be very slow in low light, which leaves me having to focus manually at times, and having to manually focus in this day and age is a real chore! :-)

Here are a few of my favorite shots from the first half of the day. Enjoy!

At the Salon

Nez told me, “my grandma is the most important person on the day. don’t forget about her!”.  She is a beautiful lady.

Always get a shot of the bouqet

Who needed me?

Nervous hands.

First photos with my new camera – photo shoot with Lane!

March 2, 2009

Today I finally had the chance to break in and field test my new camera on an actual human, rather than little trinkits around the condo.  For those who care, my new baby is a Canon EOS 5D Mark II. Thank you to Lane for being the subject! Lane is a member of the Mavericks soccer team, of which I coach and that Lindsey plays on as well. Lane is also aspiring to be a teacher, and is in fact starting her first day tomorrow as a student teacher in a grade one classroom. It was a crisp, cold, and sunless afternoon in downtown Edmonton but we sucked it up and had a blast.
