Commercial HDR VR (high dynamic range virtual reality) tour for the Health Sciences
Centre
(HSC)
Foundation
Home
Lottery.
This is a great return client who I've worked for for over two years now and
been able to do some out of town VR tours for as well.
For this lottery, they have TWO houses and I took just over 3400 photos to create
the HDR VRs!
These homes are SPECTACULAR! If you don't have tickets to their lottery yet,
get them! I'm getting mine!

It's been over six years since I started this BLOG. As far as I know I was one
of if not the first photographer in WInnipeg to have a BLOG, creating it well
before I even knew what BLOGGING was or as it became popular.
However, unfortunately the design hasn't changed in that same amount of time
and I thought it was about time to give it a bit of attention. I haven't changed
it much, just made it a bit wider and easier to read. Hopefully you'll like
it!

WOW! It's been almost four weeks since I updated my BLOG
last and it feels great to get back into it.
Hi and thanks to all those who e-mailed me about such a long
time off. No, I'm not dead, nor did I marry a mobster's wife
and move to Vegas...I've just been busy shooting and processing,
shooting and processing. SO, look all the way down to February
1st to see all the new backdated BLOG postings.

My LW4-1 photos (from my January lighting workshop)
February 28, 2010
Over the past couple of months I've gotten into airsofting,
a tactical sport similar to paintball...without the mess.
My friends like to joke that I just can't get away from shooting
people in one way or another.
Thanks to this new interest I've gained quite a collection
of airsoft guns which make for great props whenever I'm shooting
models. This is a collection of two different shoots on an
ongoing project:

Today I taught the second lighting workshop in this, my fourth
series of lighting workshops to 26 people. It was a great
time helping and shooting with so many other photographers!
Thanks everyone for coming!
Me shooting with a large format camera at my LW4-2. Thanks
to Jojo for the photo!
(The upcoming LW4-3 is going to be one of the two best LW's
that I teach this year so stay tuned here for details.)

Day eleven, the final day of my multiple day event photo
shoot for Festival du Voyageur!
After my final shoot for Festival today, here are some stats
from 11 days of shooting:
-8222 digital photos for 232.25 gigabytes taken
-24 large format film photos taken
-I met a TON of super nice people, many of which where photographers
who I gave WPC promo cards to so hopefully they'll be joining
us soon!
-I also met a lot of drunk people (gotta love Caribou...the
fortified wine kind) and got hit on by many of them but despite
being single...drunk girls just aren't that interesting,
they're hilarious but also very dangerous to photo gear!
-I got some HUGE compliments from the FDV council on some
of my past and preliminary photos from this year, always
good to hear.
-On average I shot 7 separate events a day including bands,
re-enactors, re-enactments, the school program (where the
Festival site is not available to the public for two days),
the governor's ball, the VIP night and a ton of other stuff
like snow sculptures and the fire pixies who I got some shots
that I'm really happy with!
Thanks to everyone who posed patiently and where pictured!

Late night commercial photography for Bayview Construction
LTD./Rocky Road Recycing
LTD.
Once a year (possibly twice) the City of WInnipeg does a
massive cleanup of all the built up snow on the sidewalks
that cumulates when they do the snow clearing. I was sent
out to get shots of Bayview vehicles working on this massive
project.
I was also VERY lucky to get my first ride in a front end
loader and I gotta tell you, those things are really comfortable
but also really cramped!

Commercial staff portraits for mf1
February 10, 2010
Today saw the start of my third year in a row being the official
photographer for Festival du Voyageur.
I was in the festival park taking a huge group photo of all
the people who work with FDV as well as the main group of
FDV staff. I also took several shots of the snow sculptures
as they where being built.
It looks like another great year for FDV!

HUGE thanks to all those who attended my first "Going
Pro" seminar! Again, this was also the first of it's
kind in Winnipeg and I feel EXTREMELY happy to have had 17
registered attendees, 2 of which unfortunately couldn't make
it due to a death in the family and my heart and thoughts
go out to them.
Thanks to Cory for the photo!
I gave out a questionnaire at the end of the seminar (which
people where able to fill out anonymously to get the most
honest suggestions and feelings about it) and almost everyone
felt that the seminar would have been worth it even at the
full price. (Luckily they where all smart and got in on the
early bird pricing of 50% off!)
As this was the first time I ran this particular seminar,
there where bound to be issues, however the only hiccup I
had was having the gear portion of the seminar go long as
there where several questions from the attendees, therefore
making it go long and dig into the time for the critique
portion which people all unanimously decided we would skip
in order to spend more time on the "how to get your
name out there & differentiate yourself from other photographers" section.
BUT, I have e-mailed all those in attendance and will be
giving them a free, one on one critique session in order
to make it up to them.
I will be selling a DVD collection of the entire seminar
for somewhere around $750. Why so much? As most of the people
in attendance mentioned that the seminar would have been
a good value at the full price, and as you can FF and RW
the DVD I feel that has added value. Also, if you could buy
the DVD for less than the seminar itself, why bother going
at all? HOWEVER, there will be special WPC pricing AND anyone
who attended the seminar will be able to purchase the collection
for around only $300.
Here are some of the comments from attendees:
-"I think it was well worth it. I liked the smaller
group size."
-"You where very articulate with your topics!"
-"I found it very informative and like the casual setting."
-"Thanks for taking the time and having the courage
to do this seminar!"
Most people had the same thing to say when asked which sections
where most helpful:
-"Enjoyed all aspects."
-"All of it was extremely useful."
However the specific parts of the seminar which most people
felt where most interesting/helpful where:
-Pricing
-Usage
-Promotion
-Marketing
Again, thanks to all the GP attendees for your faith and
great questions!
