We’ve been working on our R-A-I-N project for more than a year. There is no question that it has been one of the most challenging projects we’ve ever worked on – for several reasons. Luckily, there’s no shortage of rain in Vancouver! First, spending hours outside in the pouring rain when it’s cold and windy [...]
This post will be slightly different. Usually I push you to the cliff edge with my incoherent ramblings but this time I will make it short and snappy. So much has happened in the last few weeks that I have never felt more excited. First, I will update you on my “Killing the Beast” article. [...]
In the last few posts we went bezerk with writing so this time I would like to leave you with just a few portraits taken on the streets of Vancouver. Enjoy. ...and some in colour Fujifilm X100F X-Pro2 plus XF 56mm F1.2. ACROS +R or Classic Chrome with minor adjustments in LR. [...]

Your response has been phenomenal and it is great to know that so many of you are interested in the process of creating great imagery. For those who missed [...]
The idea for our project “Augmented Eye” transpired when I was shooting on the streets of Vancouver last year. I chose a spot at one of the busiest intersections in the city, a place where I have taken photographs on many occasions. The city life around me was buzzing and visuals were passing by faster [...]

What is this fuss all about? I am a pro ... well, almost! I have a website or two, I’ve posted a few photos of benches and branches, I’ve annoyed some people in chatrooms and I have a very, very big zoom lens. This makes me a pro, doesn’t it? But there is one problem. [...]
