Eye for Detail Photography was at the recent Pumpkin Patch event on a cold but clear Sunday afternoon in Tumbler Ridge at the ball diamonds, where kids of all ages and families sought refuse from the cold wind in our pumpkin themed photo booth complete with hay, fall leaves and of course lots of pumpkins! Each received a wonderful memento of the day, printed on the spot while they waited. Every so often Trent would run into booth and brace against the wall as the wind threatened to knock the whole booth over! We powered the whole event with our little onsite battery which miracles of miracles lasted the whole three hour event and only started screaming warnings when we were printing the final family’s picture.
The event was hosted by the TR Days/Grizfest Society, and included face painting, animal calls and jellybean guessing among other games and activities for children and families. The lions club brought tons of hotdogs and drinks that were free for everyone as well as warming hot chocolate provided by the Grizfest society. Funds raised by the Grizfest Society will go towards hiring children’s groups for Grizfest 2012. Here are some of our favourite images from that day. Thanks to the families who gave me permission to use their images and to everyone who came out!
We love doing something unusual, a bathtub on a hillside, a bed in a flower garden, a couch with a view.
This month we are taking our couch out to see the sights (before it finds its final resting place…), starting with a view of the mountains, and we are offering you an opportunity to sit, jump or lounge on our couch in the great outdoors! Got a pick up truck and an idea of where you like the couch to go? We’re game! Book the couch for a portrait session from September 19th to 30th and you can take the couch where ever you want for your shoot, or simply show up where the couch is. We will keep you posted on the couches new locations as it tours the Tumbler Ridge area. Sessions are $50 for a half hour of outdoor photography in one location. Contact us by email or by phone at 250-242-8142 to book a date for this fun filled fall event.
The pictures are up! You can find them here. If you need any help locating yourself, just let me know your bib number and what you were wearing and I’ll see if I can help locate yourself.
If you have any questions about the ordering system, just send me an email.
On February 12 & 13th, the Tumbler Ridge Raptors Pee-Wee Team hosted a tournament here in Tumbler Ridge. I decided to go and, you know, take a few pictures. The Tumbler Ridge peewee team, made of 11 and 12 year old boys (and two girls), won the hockey tournament for the first time in four years against stiff competition. Each team played four games over two days and the winner was decide based on goals being scored. Tumbler Ridge won the tournament on the final goal of the final game.
So, last weekend was the big MotoX races in Taylor, second race of the season for the riders with the Peace Motocross Association. I was there with Dave Thielen, a photographer out of Fort St. John, shooting the action and enjoying the first really nice day in quite a while.
Dave shot more than I did, but I managed to get out and get some pretty good shots, if I do say so myself. Here’s a few. I’ll be putting up a full gallery over at my smugmug site. If you’re interested in seeing them, just send me an email.
I’m going to put these all up large, to see the rest, simple click on the more below:
Welcome to our annual Best of list. I should probably call this an annual favourites list, as Best of seems so…definitive. And truth is every day my choices will change. But as of right now, these are a few of my favourite concert shots from 2009.
No, I haven’t forgotten Kispiox, just a little busy.
Here’s the last act I photographed the first night. There were two more acts after Shannon, Wolfchild and, of course, Heavy Things. But I was starting to get a bit worked up for the set, and I didn’t want to leave my camera laying around while we were playing, so I took it back to lock it up.
Which was unfortunate, because Tamara, the backup singer for Wolfchild, was gorgeous, and wearing this great outfit to boot. I promised myself I’d take pictures of her later, but she slipped out while we were setting up and I didn’t see her again the rest of the fest. I bumped into Perry, lead guitarist (who tried out for Heavy Things back when he was living in Tumbler Ridge) and singer and told him to get her to contact me, but no dice. Sigh.
Here’s the first in a series of photos from Kispiox; I didn’t take pictures of every band; rather, I’d randomly show up with my camera and take pictures. Or sometimes, if something was really photogenic, I’d go back and get it.
Montefuego was the first band on the first night, and of course I had my camera with me to take pictures of the band and folks dancing in the crowd. Here’s a mix of both.
