bad editing skills today - here are some pics from china. was working with not much time for picture taking so there is a strange passing by feeling to these ones

old new york

just got a crappy scanner, and scanned a few film pics from New York in May. I like how dirty and noisy some of it is.




my camera was a little out of whack - here is a nice double exposure


and here is one of my favourite lighting things - when the sky is black but the sun comes out

"Paul Pontius" at VIFF

you live in Vancouver? maybe you should go see a film I shot that is playing at the Vancouver Film Festival. Its called "Paul Pontius" and is shot on beautiful B&W 35mm for director Jesse McKeown, and starring Nicholas Campbell. Here are a few promo stills.




“Paul Pontius” will be screening at the Vancity Theatre October 8th at 9:30pm, and
October 9th at 4pm. Totally wish I could be there for this one.

To join the facebook group and watch the trailer, please visit:

and here are a couple of photos i took while location scouting for this movie:




I also was the gaffer on a short called "30 Love" as well as a feature by the awesome Cam Labine called "Control Alt Delete" which i got a chance to see here at TIFF and is pretty funny stuff - so go check stuff out at VIFF.

an aside

Ive been reading and looking at photos of spectres and glories and in particular the spectre of brocken which occurs when well...here i will steal someone elses words:

"A spectre of the Brocken occurs when the observer casts his or her shadow on a wall of fog. (The) fog has no smooth (real) surface, so that it causes three-dimensional pictures which move in a spooky way by the waving of the fog, although the observer does not move at all.

Sometimes there forms a colourful, annular optical phenomenon around the "head" of the spectre of the Brocken, which is called a glory. This glory is caused by backward scattering and diffraction of the sunrays by the very small fog droplets. The rays of light become diverged by the small round droplets into a pattern of concentric circles."

here is a picture I also didn't take..



if you google image search brocken spectre you can see more - Im kinda obsessed.

here is a website called The nonist that has a little history and photo collection on it as well
