Today is the first day of one of the best events up at Whistler/Blackcomb, the Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival or the WSSF. This year, due to school, I am unable to attend any of the event really. Though with our wedding on April 23rd, I might get to drop by and say hi to the variety of WSSF event crew I've met while being a photographer up there in … Continue Reading »
It came and is now gone, I guess that's how Spring Break is supposed to go right? It was a week long and it was definitely needed. School has been pretty full on, especially with just finishing up our midterms our finals are not very far away (in April). So what did we get up to? It was a nice and relaxing time, which is what I wanted before going back … Continue Reading »
It's been a while since we've had time to hit up the snowy action here in Vancouver so I thought I would post another photo from our last trip to Cypress. This was taken while riding up Sky-Chair. If you've never been to the top of Mount Strachan, let alone Cypress, you're missing out! Sure, the other mountain might offer a spectactular view of Vancouver, but Cypress does as well. … Continue Reading »
One of our friends was staying up at Whistler last week so on Friday we headed up to Whistler to meet them to do a bit of skiing and snowboarding. The great thing about that particular day was the weather, it was pretty much a blue bird day.Temperatures were chilly in the shade, but mildly warm in the direct sun, it was an awesome day! Typical of a day trip, we … Continue Reading »
For Robyn and I the 2009/2010 Winter season has finally come to a close and we couldn't be happier with the time we had up on Blackcomb. The sun was out in full force, the lift lines were practically non-existent and the snow was better than we expected. Robyn also said this was the first time she has ever seen 7th Heaven open during the spring. We must attribute that … Continue Reading »
Right off the bat some of you might noticed that this post is about Day 4 at the Telus World Ski and Snowboard festival and that somehow I failed to talk about Day 3. Well that's because I was in Vancouver on the Monday and then came back up for the day on Tuesday. I wanted to check out some of the action on Blackcomb as the WSI (World Ski … Continue Reading »
The weather tried to cooperate today but it decided to not play nice and stay pretty overcast with the occasional rainy drizzle. I've been monkying around with my Canon 7D custom functions and getting it to match my Canon XSi so that when I go use both camera bodies, I don't have any issues with one working a different way than the other. I use * button on the back to … Continue Reading »
Robyn and I headed up to Whistler/Blackcomb today and boy was it a lot of fun. The conditions were most excellent, with bluebird skies, some trace of new snow and awesome sunshine all day. By now most people know that Whistler/Blackcomb is home to many of the Alpine events for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. Which is quite evident when driving up into Whistler itself. Various Olympic graphics are being put … Continue Reading »
I'm not sure what a photographer's greatest moment can be, but for me it was the feeling I got from having my first photo published, well being asked for a photo in which would be published in a book. Not only was that a cool feeling, receiving the book in which my photo was published is even better! I received an email from a publisher asking me about a particular photo … Continue Reading »
Most readers of my blog will know I have many passions in life (one of which is my relationship with Robyn) though recently, the other two I have been focusing as well, is photography and snowboarding. It looks like those two passions of mine are going to fuse together this weekend up at Cypress Mountain; LG Snowboard WorldCup 2009. Robyn and I first learned about the WorldCup Event up at Cypress … Continue Reading »
