Waiting for Winter

It's odd to think that summer has come and gone already, I enjoyed every bit of it...well, except the 21 hours of driving from Winnipeg to Kelowna.

But now winter is inevitably on it's way, and though it will (thankfully) never compare to Winnipeg's winters, I have come to a conclusion. I am going to become just like the rest of the hill-people here.

After spending my summer lounging on the beaches here, with the locals, and the hundreds of Albertan's that seem to find their way out here on a weekly basis, I have come to the conclusion that the Kelownian's summer hobbies aren't all that bad. Thus, as I said before I plan to join their ranks in the winter as well!

After honing the basics, on the finest hill Manitoba has to offer; Spring Hill, I feel that I am more than ready to show my lack of ability on a snowboard to the general public here in Kelowna and the surrounding area.

As such, I've felt compelled to buy my own board...because after using some of the stiffest, most unresponsive rental boards courtesy of Spring Hill, I feel that it might serve me well to ride something built for those of us who aren't exactly the next Shaun White. As such, I give you my new board, the Burton Clash 158, with Burton Freestyle bindings

Gellatly Road

So, a while back I actually dragged myself out of bed on my day off to shoot capture some sunrise shots. This is a local mooring spot/swimming area for many of West Kelowna's residents. The sun was coming over the hills in just the right spot (or so I think) for these shots.

Meet Winter

We recently had some friends visiting, and they brought me this wonderful model to work with, she is quite the poser when she sees the camera.


But, like most models... sooner or later, they get tired of the camera!

Myra Canyon - Kelowna, BC

So this one is a little late, but since my little brothers visit I've been busy. Now that I've finally caught up I can get posting again!

I got the chance to do my first little bit of HDR work out here, I'm fairly happy with the results...still shooting hills is a challenge for me being born and raised in the flatlands.



Stay tuned, some baby pictures are coming soon!

Mission Hill Winery

We went up to Mission Hill Winery while my parents were here visiting...to be honest I was expecting a dull tour, but it actually turned out to be pretty awesome.

This has got to be the coolest doorknob ever.

Apparently, when it was being built one of the bells for the bell tower (seen above) was miscast, and now it hangs on display.
