Music, Photography, Art, People

On Saturday, February 20th, Dab Studio will be hosting another Dab Acoustic Night. This is a night that features local musicians and artists brought together for an all round good time. I encourage anyone who is interested in anything artistic to come by Dab, located at 602 Esquimalt Road around 8:00pm. I’ll be hanging some work there and enjoying the music that night. The night is a by donation entrance, so donate what you can and enjoy some of Victoria’s talent. Some of the artists that will be attending are (in no particular order):

  • Cole Grifter
  • Serina Zapf
  • Rachael Cardiello
  • Solace Sylum
  • Lucas & Co.
  • Sirens
  • and many more…

If you would like some more information on who will be there or time/place etc., visit the Facebook event page and click on attending. Here’s a sneak preview of some stuff that I’ll be putting up.

If you’d like a free copy of my book, head on over to the comp and find out how you can win one!

Competition Time

Competition is closed

visit this post for the winner and new competition details

As I am sitting here at my computer, Herbal tea within reach and Justice in the ears, I am realizing, I should have got this post out a couple of days ago. If not weeks ago. I’m going to be holding a little competition in the next week. It’s inspired by a fellow photographer, Reuben Krabbe who put out a competition a little while back. In the spirit of the times, I’d like to do a small give-away! I’ve put together a small collection of my images and had it printed by an online printing company. The link for the book has been in the sidebar of my blog for the past couple weeks (go ahead and check, I can wait…) with a little preview.

Vancouver Island Logging Camps

Last year while I was in school, a couple of my classmates and I went up to Jordan River for a photo day. This weeks Tasty Tuesday picture is from that trip.
After this trip I was inspired to go out and photograph other logging camps, working or not, around Vancouver Island. I haven’t made this trip yet, however, when I do I will be sure to make it a wonderful experience. The goal is to document the whole trip and get it down on paper in the form of a book.

Missing Pictures: Why A Workflow is Necessary

I’m not sure why but for whatever reason the pictures that I took of the production of my 4×5 Pinhole camera didn’t go through my usual workflow. They are now missing. This is why a workflow  is 100% absolutely necessary! Personally, my workflow is typed out, printed off, and I have a bunch of copies so that every time I have a shoot, they are next to me so I don’t miss a step. I also have it posted on my wall next to my monitor.

This is going to be a fairly long post by the sounds of it.

Project: 4×5 Pinhole Camera

Pinhole Camera 1st Image
Complete! Almost. I just have to finish off the varnish on it. It’s done as far as sealing it up from light, functionality of the shutter, and the tripod mount. The first shot is pictured above. Shot at 40 seconds at f/216. A little under exposed as the shutter speed was a calculated guess. According to Mr. Pinhole dot com, the ‘actual shutter speed’ should be around 48 seconds. Nothing a curves layer can’t fix.

In my next post I’ll be putting up some production pictures as well as a shot of the final image (next post because I misplaced the production pictures somewhere on my computer). I’m going to try and do some night shots with it and some portraits. I’m also trying to figure out a good way of shooting strobes with it too. I might blind my subjects before I get them exposed, but it’s probably worth it.

Bloopers and Outtakes – Playing with Video


Purely just bloopers and outtakes. This video was completely shot with my Nikon D3. I blasted away at 8fps and then threw it together for motion. The song you hear is Epic from local band and bro’s, On Call Heroes. They’re about to go record their second album, so go check them out. I hope to do more stuff like this in the future. It’s a really cool way of shooting video in my opinion.

Thanks to my friends for being the subjects, yet again, in one of my little projects. It would’ve been really boring without people in the video. Also, thanks to the band for the music. Again, really boring without it.
