Taking It One Day at a Time

Day 109/365

Finally got around to taking that second shot of Braden like I wanted. I figured this was a perfect opportunity to test out my two flash system and I like the results. Braden likes the XBOX 360 like any other young male (me included) so I figured I’d capture him when things weren’t going so well for him in the game. Thanks Braden!

Strobist Info: Lumopro Flash CTO Gel behind subject, SB-600 shoot through soft umbrella off camera right.

Day 108/365

Met a friend for coffee today. He’s aspiring to publish a couple of novels, so I figured I’d take a widerature shot of him in his element.

Day 103/365

I finally got some time to get back into my Widerature style of shooting. Anuja wanted me to come with her and help her shop for bikes. As we were walking by an alley downtown I saw this graffiti at the back of a stinky warehouse. I knew I had to take this shot as soon as I saw it as this was very fitting to the day. Thanks Anuja!

Day 87/365

Becca’s car died at the pump in the gas station. (My apologies becca for this photo. I know the wideangle isn’t the most flattering lens). For people who doubt her beauty refer to this image Rebecca’s Portrait

It’s the only photo I had for the day…

Day 84/365

And it continues…

Day 71/365

David (pictured), Jenny, and I went bamboo tree shopping at lunch today. We wanted to ensure that we were lucky and prosperous for the future… We’ll see if that really will happen. In the mean time, new Widerature shots have been uploaded!

Day 59/365

This cat hates me…Ginger looking peeved and scared at the same time…

Day 58/365

This wonderful lady kicks my butt every time I see her. Jamie is my athletic therapist and also my rehab coordinator. Because she always makes me do tough things I figured I’d get her to a hold position for a couple of minutes while I took a widerature shot of her. Haha, thanks Jamie.

Day 56/365

Widerature again! This is my friend Keegan. Went to university with him and while I was up at his company on business related things and I luckily remembered he worked there. So, after a couple of text messages he came down and I made him let me take this photo of him. The thing I love bugging Keegan about is his fake accent. His family has been in Canada for quite some time. Everytime I call his house, his sisters have a perfect canadian accent, but for some reason Keegan has this “fake” or “forced” accent haha. I think he does it to attract the ladies. Either way, I think it’s absolutely hilarious when he says “No, I don’t have an accent” because he does it with his fake one…

Day 47/365

Got up real early to take some more photos. These last two photos were my attempts at getting quick Widerature shots but they just didn’t make the cut. I like both of them and it does sum up the personalities of Vince and Pete quite well, but just wasn’t distorted enough!
