Thinking Hat on Calgary's Independent Radio

Last week, Philip Vandermey of SPECTACLE was interviewed on CJSW / Calgary's Independent Radio where he discussed downtown revitalization in Medicine Hat and our Thinking Hat exhibition which took place at the end of September. Phil did a great job of discussing some of the ideas the exhibition proposed (and I appreciated the generous shout out as well). You can see the blog post that CJSW did here. The interview is also posted at the bottom of the article, and the Thinking Hat portion is between the 20-38 minute mark.

A Christmas Shoot With Weddingstar

As the in-house photographer and videographer for Weddingstar Inc. I've shot thousands of images for the company over the years that have appeared on their website, in their magazine/catalog, and on their social media platforms. That said, it's been a while since I've last shared a photo set that I enjoyed this much. 

During the last week of November, Jaycene and I went out to Desert Blume Golf Club to do a faux head table shoot with a winter/Christmas theme.  

Jaycene deserves all of the credit for coming up with the concept and doing all of the preliminary work to pull the shoot together. She organized the products, and crafted some beautiful displays for the table. When it came time to setup on-location, we bounced a lot of ideas around and experimented with the layouts so I could get the best shots. I then edited all of our final images, and put together these collages. 

In the end, it was a real team effort. Jaycene and I both came away from the shoot feeling pretty good about what we'd accomplished. I think the finished result speaks volumes, and hopefully makes you feel a bit festive too. At the very least, it has me looking forward to our next big on-location shoot.
