For the Scenic Edmonton Art Show at The Common I knew I wanted in corporate the different landscapes we have here in the city and the epic skies we have in Edmonton. When I first started to shoot for the show, I shot very vaguely to allow me to play with the cropping. After starting at the photographs for a good 3 hours on the computer I decided to make the foreground only 25% of the final product and the rest will be the beautiful skies. I shot one at sunset in a grassy hill by my house, another in the canola fields on a bright sunny day, and lastly one just off Whyte Ave of the gloomy grey sky. I’m very very pleased with the final product and I’m most definitely continuing this series to hopefully be able to do a full show. Well here are the final images and be sure to check them out on the 40x20 canvas prints at The Common!

This Thursday at The Common there will be an Photography Art Show that will showcase several photographers that took their interpretation on “Scenic Edmonton”. Edmonton scenery to me is bright yellow canola fields with bright blue skies, grassy hills with purply/orangy/red sunset skies, and busily tree branches with dark grey clouds. I portrayed these within three photographs on 20 x 40 landscape canvas prints; which two are used for the posters for The Common parties this weekend. If your in town Thursday September 8, 2011 be sure to come by and check out the show!

My family/friends are BIG eaters and we always have potlucks, cook offs, food battles, etc and I always just take photos of the actual gathering… BUT this time I just wanted to take photos of the food because to me thats the romantic part of the entire gathering. I shot these delicious sliders in a high key setting in mind with my 5D MrkII with my favourite lens of 50mm f/1.4. This is why I love summer so much because of how much I am able to use my BBQ to cook food! Happy eatings everyone!

A few months ago I did several interior shots for my friends Arthur & Dan for their store; Haven. Recently they were asked to be in an article about them and their store on Be Street Magazine who is based out in France. They used my recent shots of their Edmonton Location in the magazine and I’m pretty stoked to see my images in magazine… need to do more editorials/commercial shots haha. Check it out bellow!

Even though my birthday was last week my good friends from my Photography Class: Kim Kim, Dwayne, Delain, and Shawn insisted to go out for some beers at Empress. Lone and behold Kim Kim made me a special birthday cake (she is know to make the best cakes for any occasions)… BUT I didn’t expect a Munny version of me on the cake that dresses exactly what I wear all the time. Love my friends soo much! Great times catching up since we graduated in the spring time, having drinks, eating pizza, and of course eating cake. This is why I love summer and of course my friends! THANKS AGAIN KIM KIM!

I love eating and trying new restaurants; especially with friends. Jason and I have been talking about going to this pizza joint he goes to with his lady friend, Tanja, for their classic new york style pizza. I’ve gone to MANY pizza places in the city and always get disappointed but Jason reassured me that this place will not disappoint… and he was RIGHT! The past week we finally went to Ragazzi Bistro on 8110 - 82nd Ave and meet up at the shop Foosh to bike there. I was ripping around in my Globe Roll 1 Fixed & Jason was riding in his wood grain SE Ripping bike.
