Picture perfect

Mostly my summer has consisted of working, that's not much to write a blog post about. But I thought that I could throw a few pictures from a recent photo shoot I did for a good friend of mine, Rachelle Kostelyk, for her upcoming EP she's releasing. First are a few pictures of me taking pictures compliments of her sister Janna who accompanied us as a Director of Creativity and Overall-General-Support.

We took advantage of the summer sun and used up as much of it as we could. After we had all but finished it off, we ended our photo shoot and took a late dinner break for some sushi. Not only was it pretty good, but it was really cheap $4.95 for 18 pieces and some soup. You just can't beat cheap sushi.

So here are some of my favourite pictures from that day. We're working on what we want to do with them all, which ones will be used for what, that kind of thing, but here's a preview.















Well I hope you enjoyed this, I know I haven't been posting much this summer, but I will be heading back to New Hampshire in the beginning of September to go as a Second year intern at Streams. What I'm trying to say is that if you hang in there, before you know it, regular updates will be the norm again!

Canada Day!

(I loved how the birds just sit and relax on the horses back!)

This weekend was Canada Day (July 1), so it was a long weekend for all, which is nice, I'm sitting here on a Monday morning really enjoying not being at work! You all can educate yourselves about this day at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_Day.

Andrew and I celebrated the weekend by driving first up to Merrit where we checked out his Dad's cabin that they are building and then we took out a 4x4 and went driving around in the mountains around there.

It was pretty eventful, we scouted out a lake to check out a camping spot, and we drove on the trail where they were having a horse race, that garnered us a few dirty looks, but most of them didn't mind too much. I gotta say though, it was kinda scary because the big 'ole Suburban kept shutting itself off and it wasn't always really easy to start, I really didn't like the thought of us having to hike way back a few hours to where Andrew had parked his car. Not really an appealing thought.


We even saw some cowboys, likely rustling cattle...

After we had seen all there was to see and done all we could do, we hopped back into Andrew's car and headed up to Kamloops where we visited with some friends, Dan and Cindy Sczebel and Kate Allard.

Then we drove the 2 1/5 hours home where we watched "Dog Soldiers" a British movie about werewolves, but with a title like that how can you go wrong?

All in all, it was a very pleasant day and only one speeding ticket, so what more could you ask for?
