Went up to my friend Brians cottage this weekend with Clay and Gordon, I took a few photos with the ol 30d. We went for a hike in the woods then hung out on the beach a bit, played cards, risk, chess. I did a bit of kiteboarding on sunday but the wind wasn’t very strong. We found a dimeonback toad too. Anyhow it was a pretty excellent retreat.

root down (And Get It)

So I transferred all my web data to a new server. If there are any problems on here with the rss feed and what not that might take the weekend to troubleshoot, but so far there haven’t been any problems. So I’ve started shooting with my medium format camera a lot more. I really like the 645 format. Too bad all I have is a shitty flatbed scanner for scanning 120 or 220. gallery is behind image as usual.

The Daughters of Quiet Minds
September 9th, 2008 by ryan
So summer is over. Wow that was quick. I took a few photos this summer. I also moved during the middle of the summer which took a lot of my time and energy but the rest of the time was pretty good. So I processed some film this week. The colour stuff is from one of those point and shoot one time use waterproof cameras, I had never used one before, it wasn’t bad, obviously not a real camera, but at least it’s film. Anyhow those are from camping for Stephs birthday. There are shots from my families cottage Katherine and I out on the boat with my mom and dad. There is Nicks house warming party/Clays last night in town. There’s beasley and I finding a TV. I guess that’s it! Nothing special, just random stuff. I also think that my contax camera is leaking light. Might be time to bite the bullet and get one of those leica m6’s.

Weddings (Bee Hives)
September 4th, 2008 by ryan
I finally managed to get through the hundreds of photos from Alnis and Brooke’s wedding. I had never shot a wedding before so I was pretty nervous to be honest. It’s a lot of pressure and I usually dont work well under that kind of pressure. I guess weddings have a stigma and a style that kind of conflicts with my own. My biggest conflict was taking the photos I wanted to take without ruining the event as an experience for others by getting in the way. It’s a wedding not a photoshoot. I was able to wittle them down to four hundred and something images, not all of them are great but I tried to include shots that I didn’t like too cause you know, memories… Anyhow the gallery has some pre and post wedding stuff from home. Just haninging out with Katherine mostly. Our new place is coming together nicely, I built some massive shelves that I’m pretty proud of. Once it’s all done and set up maybe I’ll take some photos. This idea just occured to me now as I write this, shows how focused my mind is. Anyhow click on the image to check out the gallery.

So my friend Clay suggested that for our friends wedding we should take photos of all the guests wearing the same glasses (that belonged to his friend Jake Szuminski). So at the wedding we borrowed Stevens camera (because I was taking wedding photos with mine) and I set up a portrait studio in a small cabin and in the reception hall the next day. Clay, Gordon, and myself took shifts taking photos and in the end managed to photograph 116 people. Yesterday Clay and I (with help from my girlfriend, Katherine) framed most of the shots and presented them to Alnis and Brooke. They were happy and so were we. I think Alnis is going to put all these up on facebook, but I thought I may as well put them up here too. Click Here to see the whole set.

Forest Moon
August 25th, 2008 by ryan
Was sent out this morning to photograph a property for a client at work. They are developers and we are building the website for the development. Anyhow we needed some images so we went to take some photos. There is a really cool observatory on the property. This is Kaminski the designer who is building the site. I thought this was a cool portrait because all last week he was working on the logo for the development which has the observatory as a centre piece and I feel like I inserted him into his own work. Most of the time he works on a whole project without leaving the office. I don’t know if most of you will appreciate that point of view but it means a lot to me. Here are a few frames of what I shot today.

Watch the Tapes

I was doing a job for work on friday, I had to photograph a house for a kitchen place, they designed the kitchen. This was an average day until the sky went black and hail fell from it. In other news I photographed a wedding for some friends of mine recently. It was my first time doing this, I’ll have to share some of the highlights when I get a chance.
