Tasty Tuesday #17

RobinShot in Victoria, BC, this was a runner up for my school portfolio. I worked with this couple all over Bastion Square and along the waterfront. It didn’t make the final cut because it didn’t flow with the rest of the images. What do you think of this one or my other Tasty Tuesday’s?

Inukshuk

Near the beginning of my trip through New Zealand, my girlfriend and I took a train down the north island from Auckland to Wellington (12 hours) and then, the next day, hopped on a ferry that took us to the south island (4 hours) and then another train, on the same day, to Christchurch.  The following day we were on a bus, for about 9 hours that took us all the way to Queenstown.  It was a long trip, and me being as sick as a dog made it feel even longer.  We stopped at Lake Tekapo (seen in the “Northern Hemisphere” post). I took some time down at the lake front to reflect. It was then that I took a few pictures of the area and then started to make my way back to the bus. However, on my way back I noticed that the rocks were perfect stacking rocks. I stopped and had a quick look around and found 4 or 5 great spots to leave a bit of Canada behind. So, I started stacking and made an inukshuk.
InukshukI hope that in doing this, another Canadian, on another bus, found this and thought of home. I know that I would.

Dark Side

I was introduced to this video today when I was going through my Google Reader. It’s called Dark Side of the Lens from Astray Films.

It’s a pretty powerful short film. And I love the way it was put together. The way the voice-over and music is very inspiring and to the point. It makes me want to put on a wetsuit and jump in to frothing 5°C water and take pictures. And for those that don’t know me personally, I get cold pretty easily. The film has been out for about 6 months now and has over 671,000 views, over 12,500 of which were yesterday. If you like water, surfing, rugged coastlines, beautiful imagery, or inspirational videos then this is a must watch. Thanks to Chase Jarvis for posting this on his blog.

Tasty Tuesday #16

Here’s an outtake from a portrait session with Kaitlyn. We were getting near the end of the shoot and we were both a little tired I gave her the stereotypical “you’re a lion” pose to work with and this was the result. Priceless.
You're a lion!For those of you just catching on to what a Tasty Tuesday is all about. Here’s the rundown: scroll through your archives until you find an outtake, random image, second choice, or happy mistake and then post it on Tuesday. The goal is to keep it up weekly.

Editorial Photography

Textbooks define editorial photography as interpreting the facts of a magazine article in a creative way. For me, it is all about telling stories. Editorial photography should engage viewers and interact with them. It should prompt the audience to imagine how the story unfolds, who the person is, and how they can find out more. That’s partly what my little project called “Who Are You?” is all about. Using photography to tell the viewer a story. The story is you.
This is Eve. She has a dog named Elsa and she loves cooking and photography. What else can she tell you?
