I had a blast smashing taco's, beers, and ankles (#skateordie) with these guys, before the Athlete Tour lecture yesterday.
Seven Photographers To Undress
Clothing is like therapy, according to some studies helps you better accept your body as well as being a stimulant for the physical and psychological health. So we concluded that from today we will provide ourselves a good dose of daily nudity. It would be a little rough do so under what circumstances (for example, in the office or on the bar), seen in Western culture have taught us to always be well dressed, but in an ideal world would be his. At the end of the day, that's how we got to the world and many of our complex would disappear if we were used to seeing naked people naturally every day and every hour. But for now we will comply with doing in our house, because the beach begins to cool and because we do not want to look bad in the street. The world is not ready for such feats. Anyway, there are many reasons why undress and these photographers make the recall.
Alex Guiry : to connect with nature. let go of everything that reminds you constantly that you live in an emotionally repressive society. When you fuse with nature disappears any sense of attachment and raisins to be free. Alex Guiry reminds us with his series 'Naked Nothing', where the primal instincts wake up again.
Goodbye.
The treasure will likely be his death.
Living on the devils dime.
Boat Launch
Michae and I had a lot of trouble starting his outboard engine. He just bought it off Craigslist, and was reluctant to ask for help. So I manifested an old sailer man in a Hawaiian shirt to come by and point out the obvious. So he did. He and his daughter fixed boats for a living. But before I asked him for help, he yelled to her across the docks to look for "An old guy, by the boat launch, that looks like me, but who's... Native." Then he looked at me and said "Can I say that? My daughters always giving me hell for saying things I can't. I use to be able to say whatever I wanted." Then we laughed. I told him Native was politically correct, but not Indian, then asked him for a hand. Turned out we put the fuel line on backwards, and the gas wasn't making it to the engine. Though just as guilty as Mike, I poked some fun at him. Then the old guy with one leg said. "Hey, he doesn't have a nose ring buddy!" and I said "You're not allowed to say that." and we fucking lost it laughing. He reminded me so much of my dad. Same with when Michael was swearing at the boat engine, my dad did that a lot. Of course this old man disappeared into thin air without us able to thank him.
Ship To Shore
I spent a month this summer shooting a boaters guide/ magazine called Ship To Shore with my friend Norm Edwards.
We shot 50 different shops in Vancouver, Bowen & Gibsons, creating full page adverts at a deeeecent price. We worked with coffee shops, restaurants, art galleries, yacht brokers, harbours, and anything marine related.
If you want a free copy just hollar and I'll swing one by. If you want to advertise in it next year, let me know. And if you're interested in shooting with me for an hour, at a fair price I'm your dude.
Kayaking, fishing and camping. Slow, boring, yet so rewarding. I will say, that tippy ass boat sure makes salmon fishing a whole lot more exciting!
Horror corridor. Trans-Alaska pipeline.
Rock Slide
This is probably my favourite piece I've done this year. Our first day in Alaska we went on two hikes including this one were we went skinny dipping in Rabbit Lake. As we were getting in the water we listened to these huge rocks slide down the other side of the ridge. It was pretty moving to say the least.
"The glaciers fed the shivers in her mind.
It popped her spine, and sent a clap of thunder to the sides.
That's when I heard the rocks slide."
This was shot on a 6x7 film camera. That means the negative is 4.5 times larger than that of a 35mm. Its super detailed and can be blown up MASSSIVE!

Hiding from authority. This summer, we've spent more nights sleeping outside, under the stars than inside our tents. #surfbagsandsleepingbags
Surfing, camping, hiking and smashing beers on the beach. You don't have to travel far to go on an adventure around here! I'm so stoked to be exploring Canada more than ever these days.
Baby, just break the rules.
This Is Why You Should Wake Up Early”
It was either the heat of the sun or the fact that I had just destroying everyone in a game of Settlers Of Catan, but everyone was hot as balls. With zero convincing, we jumped up, slapped the sand from our asses and paddled out into the surf in boardshorts and cutoffs. Remember, this is British Columbia, not Oaxaca, so the waves are small and cold year round. I wish I could show you the juxtaposition of everyone else wearing wetsuits booties, gloves, hoods but that shot didn’t turn out... After shooting a few laughs with my 35mm thrift store reusable waterproof film camera, I surfed one in with my shorts on my head.
Moments before we watched two eagles fly towards us, through a gully. Like acrobats they tumbled in the air, as they fought over a fresh caught salmon. We all had cameras on us and none of us got the shot...
