Evening all! Once again I seem to have left my blog for too long. Oh well, what can you do  I do try. A couple of weeks ago I returned from a wonderful trip to the maritimes. Met some really great people, and travelled through New Brunswick, P.E.I. and then onto Nova Scotia. P.E.I. was amazing. The rolling hills, the fields, the red soil, the atlantic ocean. It was wonderful. The lanscape surprisingly in the maritimes is very similar to BC in many ways. But the humidity is pretty harsh so it was easily distinguisable..haha. We had a humidex of 33 at times, and that wasn’t fun. However, after having a great 2 hour tubing ride down the Nashwaak river in New Brunswick with friends the humidity wasn’t even a concern. We had an amazing time. So I’m sharing some of those times in my store. There you will find a number of photos I shot while my trip. Check them out and enjoy!

It’s been a long time coming but we are finally in the pre-production stage of getting ‘The Boarder’ off the ground. We managed to get the pitch trailer done, as you can see on my home page, and now we are finalizing funds etc to hopefully get this puppy off the ground. I’m going to be the assistant director and editor on this film so it’s quite exciting. The last time I felt so much excitement was when I was the assistant editor on the film Sam’s Lake. I ended up creating the trailer to send off to Sundance. It was quite a rush!! The movie itself, unfortunately, never made it to the American Market. But I digress One day I’m sure you’ll see the movie in stores :)

I was driving my car down to the ferry yesterday when up ahead it appearred as though there might be some form of road construction going on. I could see at the lights that on the other side of the road stood a fairly elderly flagger. I say elderly as the rinkles on her face were close to sagging past her overly bulbuss chin, but I digress. When the light turned green, we started to move forward turning, as one would, if you were indeed trying to travel left on your journey. This apparently caused a problem for said flagger. Without notice, and without any form of signage, said flagger decided to just walk out in front of us. Walking in a rather purposeful manner as though she was escorting the queen to her next destination. Having said that, there was no queen. Just a flagger. One rediculous flagger. After slamming on the brakes nearly being charged with vehicular manslaughter, this flagger decided to stop, make an about face, and point in the direction we were to travel from this point forward. Funnily enough, this was the direction we were intending to go. But as it would seem we were not capable of realizing that the moving machinery in front of us was something that we should avoid so it was made clear that we must choose an alternate route. Thank heavens for that purposeful finger pointing us in the right direction. I say purposeful, as her finger was shot forward with such force I felt she might shoot us with it. The flagger was angry that day my friend. But I must admit, had it not been for that finger I don’t know where we would have ended up. I needed to wipe my brow after that affair.. “Thank you decrepit old finger flagger…I owe you one.”

Well, ok. Maybe I’m stretching the truth a little bit. But you have to admit, it made this post sound much more interesting. However, how about a 72 year old woman, two young boys, and a wheel chair and what do you have??? A recipe for disaster!! Of course since these two boys haven’t been charged with anything criminal then I guess you could say that everything turned out just fine. Stanley Park, British Columbia. A wonderful place filled with beautiful flowers, long winding trails and, of course, a great number of hills perfect for wheelchairs!!! Now. Take two young boys, a grandma that is willing, and what do you have??? A great day of fun ahead of you. Until of course the wheelchair gets a way on you. Which of course is exactly what happened to these two boys. It is quite fun at the time to be laughing so hard while trying to chase your 72 year old grandma down a pathway that no matter how fast you run, your just not going to be able to catch this torpedo on four wheels. Gray hair is flying everywhere and I’m sure to the onlooker it would seem like these boys had tried to dump her down the hill. Either that, or that the granny decided it was time to go and chose a most ingenious route to get the great beyond. She, however, ended up going full blast into the flowerbed that was directly ahead of her, through the tall brush, and finally into a small forest of evergreen bushes. Now, in this case you would be running over knowing that you would have to be calling 911 and having to resusitate this poor woman. But what do you find when you get there. But an old granny, laughing and screaming with glee. When the boys finally arrived, still laughing I might ad, they were greeted with open arms and the most love you could find for an old granny that was close to death. I have to say that these boys got themselves in hot water by the parents. But even that didn’t last long. This granny may have been 72, but she was 20 at heart and in the end had the most fun she could have at her age. It was a great site to see. ”Right on Granny…you kick ass”

Yes, that’s right. Webmercials. According to everything I’m reading now television is on it’s way out. Yes, I know, you are asking me “What do you mean television is out…your nuts”. And, quite legitimately I could say, “yeah, your right”. However, if you look at the way technology is moving, the internet is still the wave of the future. And for some, like me, I don’t think the internet has even been tapped into. There is so much more the internet will be capable of doing in the future that normal television will be out within the next 10 years. Ok. So there you have it…my opinion on the subject. Let’s face it, I have friends that have their computers hooked into their HD television sets and do everything on their computer from the comfort of their couch. Wireless mouse, wireless keyboard, beer in hand…what could be better. So, to think that the internet is under utilized at this point in time would be a correct assumption.So there you have it. So this brings me to webmercials. I’m moving in that direction and have started shooting commercials specifically for the web. Just check out the What is a webmercial on my home page to find out all about it, and view a few samples. If you have questions or are interested…give me a buzz. I’ll be happy to talk with you.Stock footage….it’s coming, I promise you
