Song I wrote...

2011-01-16T23:50:00.000-08:00

This is a song I wrote a couple weeks ago on the guitar and synth. It has ambient delays and volume swells throughout the entire piece. I just picked up an audio interface so on my spare time I've been laying down some recordings especially with my guitar.

This is older footage from back in the fall. I was just playing around with editing software so decided to do a new cut of the video.

I did some photography yesterday for an event my good friend Daniel Patching organized at the Anza Club in Vancouver. It was a charity event raising funds for the United Ostomy Association of Canada's Ostomy Youth Camp. The goal was to raise enough funding to send a child to their camp program.

Film

2010-11-14T17:17:00.000-08:00

Here were a few photos I took with an old nikon 35 format film camera. i actually was a little disappointed! Although I was excited to be shooting film again I lost an entire roll of shots which I was really anticipating getting developed. I absolutely love film cameras, however it seems like there is always a risk if a roll breaks or somehow doesn't feed though the camera properly. Nonetheless I do plan on being a more frequent user of film and I am on the market for a new SLR camera!

photos. photos. and more photos.

threw allot of ideas around snapping these shots...very country/vintage theme. i brought out the colour a little bit in this batch, which was actually emily's idea.

if you want to see more of the images just click on one which will hyperlink to my photobucket account (home to about 50 more images of emily).

Emily Coutts 1.1

2010-04-14T04:57:00.001-07:00

this past weekend i did some headshots of emily coutts! i believe it was for university...she goes to york in toronto for acting!

emily does a bit of modeling and acting in the city...she's so much fun to get on the opposite side of the lens! i loved experimenting in different settings.

we did a combination of settings including a vintage cabin with smashed out windows, a burnt up trailer cluttered with junk, and my lovely pond island.

such a blast and this is only a couple of the shots!

canoe and a paddle with d&e

2010-04-11T18:48:00.001-07:00

so exciting...! did some mad photos today! cabin cabin, scrap central, island front, and water and area!

the photo's are of my good friend emily and a couple of my main man devon. they'll be up for viewing shortly!

here is a couple prequels i shot of emily... and a few devon shot of me while i paddled to our little island!

can't wait to share the rest. nite nite.!

nudies wear and tear competition

2010-04-09T05:07:00.001-07:00

raw denim seems to be the rave in europe. and it also seems important out of my closet! I've been following this company for a while now with a few pairs of their pants myself.

they're doing pretty crazy competitions for finding who 'wears the pant in' the best over seas...it seems like our friend fredrik here walked away with the blue ribbon in this case!

the art of nudies is they're completely raw denim and as you wear them they form to your body, wallet, cell phone, etc. they wear in the places you make them creating something that is completely yours! definitely an interesting pant!

new 50 mm lens

2010-04-07T20:01:00.001-07:00

picked up a new nikon lens today at black's photography...it's a nice little 50 mm and it dials down to a 1.8 aperture which suits me fine because i'm a sucker for depth of field!

i took some photos around the house quick to test the little fella out. i snapped a shot of my lovely mom above, a rooster in the kitchen, some guitar gear, and of course my favourite drawing EVER my lone wolf i found abandoned in some duder's basement!

2010-04-03T10:17:00.001-07:00

my backyard...i was a kid fishing off this bridge now it's just driftwood. my gramps and i use to feed the fish, chill in a paddle boat, or cast a line right here.

i was outside this morning enjoying a good brew of coffee when i noticed our little neighbours a little family of turtles. i crawled down close to the water to snap some shots when i startled the little fellas!

pretty dope!

supposedly this summer will be the last of the bridge with a new dock moving in. it was good to snap some pictures of whats left of the paint chipped wood especially with the little men chilling on top!

somewhere in the middle of nowhere, about three years ago in the center of the prairies, i pulled my van to the side of the road and reached for an old camera my brother gave me about a week prior. i actually knew nothing about shutter speed or exposure or even aperture at the time; however i snapped a couple reflection shots from the van window... these are those shots!
