Dia De Los Muertos

One day I get a message from my talented friend Genevieve Blais - "What are you doing after work?..."

Little did I know that 9 hours later I would be watching the sunrise over Vancouver's finest Motel after assisting on one of the more crazy student photo shoots of my life. Somehow I ended up being the makeup artist (read facepainter) and taking pictures, one of which is here. Head over to her website for more of Gen's creepy urban gothic work.

Mountain Biking on the North Shore

So an Englishman, a Brazilian and a Swede walk into a forest... no joke. Rolling around in the dirt for these pictures was a lot of fun. Plus having a fully loaded Mountain Bike flying three feet over your head is quite an experience - I love Canada!

Photographer: James Mollison

Wow! What intense, honest, painterly pictures. Check out the Guardian Newspaper story on radio presenters to see some more of James Mollison's portraits.

I was thinking that I should stop posting so many links on my blog, and concentrate instead on just my own work. But that went out the window when I saw these pictures. Once again: wow!

A little search engine investigating revealed Mr.Mollison's group portraits of music fans dressed in their best clobber. Also not bad at all. Talented bloke is this Mollison.

Lost in the woods.

I'm not kidding, we did get pretty lost.

7am

Sometimes I work for this cool dude named Shawn Taylor. Which means that sometimes I have to get up pretty durn early to be in his studio by 7am. But it's OK because sometimes it means I get to see things like this.
