Ready to Rope, Luxton Pro Rodeo, Luxton, British Columbia
It’s always a good experience to photograph an event for the first time that’s entirely different from anything else you have ever done. You go in with only a guess about what access will be like, what lenses might be of use and basically, no matter how much pre-planning you have done, anything can and will happen.
I had an opportunity to photograph the Luxton Pro Rodeo yesterday and after doing a little internet research and talking with the photographer I was travelling with I determined I had no idea what I [...]

Victoria Mother’s Day Garden Tour
We (my wife, mom and I) spent Saturday at the 27th Annual Victoria Mother’s Day Garden Tour, a benefit for the Victoria Conservatory of Music.

The last train past over the Kinsol Trestle in 1979 and in recent years the trestle has fallen into disrepair and has even been burned at some [...]
Longevity John, Duncan Garage Showroom, Duncan, BC, Canada.
The Duncan Garage Showroom is located upstairs in the historic Duncan Garage in Duncan, Cowichan Valley, Vancouver Island. The Duncan Garage offers a huge range of music from well known recording artists to local musicians looking for the big break. All of this in the funkiest club you will likely find in all of Canada.
The Duncan Garage Showroom didn’t quite make CBC Radios latest “top ten music clubs” list but came close in the top twenty I believe. Longevity John, the clubs passionate owner should be proud and everyone in the Cowichan [...]
