Adobe! !Creative suite 5!


Wooo!
Just got Adobe Creative suite 5!
the latest and greatest in post production software.
I am pretty stoked for After Effects, can't wait to test it out.

Installing it right now, it's taking quite a while for a 9GB installation.

GUESS WHO IS WORKING UFC 115?!?!

HOLY CRAP!

This has got to be one of the best news I've heard in a while. As you may have heard the UFC is coming to Vancouver. This is the first ever UFC event taking place in my home city and I am proud to be involved with this, this is history in the making for both Vancouver and the UFC.

Pacific Salmon Gig

Aaron Johnston of AMJ Pro gave me a shout and asked if I wanted to work a corporate event, I believe I said "Yes" immediately.
It was pretty interesting, this shindig was organized by the Pacific Salmon Foundation, it was a dinner and auction event.
I believe that was a 14 hour day for me, but it was cool, I don't mind working long hours as long as I am busy I am fine with that.

GOALLLLLLL!


Shoot!

Very happy to start my 2nd season with the Vancouver Whitecaps.

The more I get myself involved with shooting sports the more I love it!
I never had an interest in Soccer (Football if you are reading this in Europe), but it was until I was given the opportunity to do camera work for the Whitecaps, that I had a total change of heart.

Sundays home opener against the Minnesota Stars, proved to be one of the best Soccer games I've covered. The place was packed, the Southsiders were representing, Winger (the Mascot) was up to his usual antics, yes it was a great game!

Did I mention we Won 2-0!?

Winger, he looks harmless...


The Southsiders!

Roller Derby!


Roller Derby, one word: AWESOME!

Highly addictive sport, fast paced and pure entertainment!
Those are just some of the words to describe Roller Derby. Yes, indeed this underground sport re-surfaces every decade or so, but this time its going to stay.

This was my first ever Roller Derby event and what better way to pop the cherry; work the actual event (Production Assistant, Camera assist). I hooked up with Aaron Johnston of AMJ Pro Video last month while working at the Paralympics, this is pretty much his baby (the behind the scenes, broadcast aspect). He has put in so much time and effort into this Roller Derby Project and it shows because we had a packed house last night!

This isn't your 1920's Roller Derby, the contact sport that we know of today has come a long way, with many rules and regulations changing; one things for sure, the entertainment still stays true.

aww! a nice friendly hug...I think.

"L.A Guns" about to hip-check "Avihater"

"LuLudemon" is going to feel that in the morning!

"Luludemon" is going to need a medic after "L.A Guns" dropped her.


the glory of winning!

next game is on Saturday, May 15, 2010. I will see you there!
