Canada Day in Southern BC

Here's a few from July 1st up at Whistler with Liz, Nick and Jacob and then the fireworks down in the harbour in Vancouver.

messing around on a Friday

  A friend had a little gathering this past Friday and thought it would be cool to bring a camera, tripod and a remote and play with Long Exposure. Some of them turned out pretty decent.

I used Nikon D7100, Nikon 50mm f1.4 and cable remote.

BLiSS. A day in the life...

Good morning friends. Again, it has been some few months since my last post. Now that work has slowed down enough, I can film and shoot photo's and get caught up in editing. These past few months have been action packed with mostly diving and a few decent swells.

I started to make this edit a few months ago when I arrived at Bohio and have been collecting a lot underwater footage while diving and some other interesting shots. Remember to watch it in the highest resolution possible. (1080 HD or 720 HD)

Here are the results:

1st Wave of 2014

Wow, it's been awhile since I've written anything!

I am still living and working in Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos. The slow, easy life has definitely taken over my internet time and lack there-of. 

I really hope to spend more time on this blog and look forward to sharing more pictures and vids. There is an Island edit I'm currently touching up and getting ready to post in the very near future.

The Sickest Road Trip Ever

Here's a short video I made from this past winter of a BADASS snowboard trip my brother and I went on. I won a freakin' amazing contest from TGR, which was Arcteryx outerwear  and Selkirk Wilderness Catskiing. 

Mt Baldy

We started our trip in Manning Park un-touched pow and virtually no crowd, and then made our way up the POWDER Hwy to Red Resort. A good friend of mine from my high school, Jaime Mac who lives in Castlegar, offered to put us up for a few nights which turned into almost 2 weeks. Jaime was amped to have some Island boys over and share some gnar with us in the mountains. 

Over the next week or so, our gracious host took Nick and I resort boarding, splitboarding at Mt Baldy, and snowshoeing up to the top of out-of-bounds Whitewater near Ymir Peak. The conditions were epic as was the weather. Jaime and his fiance (or wife as of now?) Lindsay showed us all the sights around Nelson, including the ultra relaxing mineral waters of Ainsworth, this tiny dot on the map along the Pow Hwy. 

The time came for Nick and I to start our way up Hwy 31 to Meadow Creek, ground zero for the gnarlist snowboard trip to date. We stopped along Kootenay Lake to spend the night in our tent. We lucked out and had no neighbours to bother us plus a crisp, crystal clear night with a full moon to light up our fantastic view of the lake.

Upon reaching our ultimate destination, the friendliest staff I've ever met greeted us and so the gnar began. We were driven up to the cat, which then took us to Selkirk Wilderness' pimp lodge. That night they shot off a shit load of fireworks, which I like to think were for us... In the morning we ate a dank breakie and were off to the top for a day of top notch lines. The snow and weather were phenomenal. Our group consisted mostly of middle aged 2 plankers. This gave Nick and I more line options as they were not so aggressive nor frothing for heavy duty lines. This proceeded to be the trend for the rest of the cat trip. I could write forever about the lines we did. But I won't so just watch the short movie (6:55) I made below and you'll get the gist of our experience. And once again, sorry for mostly POV, we found it super hard and annoying to stop and pull out our other camera we brought along.

Enjoy

A Gypsy Slideshow

This is a slideshow I made this spring/summer for a BIT, a Broadreach Instructor Talk- think TED Talk and then add some awesome, random themes and ideas. Every instructor had to do one and be under 5 mins, so I chose "Modern Gypsy" and did a quick dialogue on my life as a modern gypsy with all the moving around and such. I didn't have much content plus I hate talking in front of a crowd, so I decided to whip up this quick slideshow to fill the remainder. I took 90% of these photos. I owe credit to Nick Bueckert, Daniel Oselette, Ryan Bell, Shane Yargeau and Mario Duarte for the photo's that I appear in. Here it is...

Do people enjoy slideshow's? or is it better to scroll through?

Just curious...
