Birds Eye Bando

My drone came in the mail about a month ago. I've had a bit of play time with it. I've used it in a couple stories I've done for Global News, but it's usually only a shot or two. I was trying to think of something I could do exclusively with the drone and this is what I came up with: BIRDS EYE BANDO.

Churchill Blog Squad Reunion

This past Friday night, Talia and I hosted the cool cats that we went to Churchill, Manitoba with. You really get to know people when in transit with them for multiple days. It took us about two days to get up to Churchill and two days to get back, so we had lots of down time to do just that. The reunion was great, besides me having my wisdom tooth removed approximately a day earlier. Even though I had trouble talking and I ended up going to sleep like two hours before everyone bounced, it was really great to get this crew back together. 

It was such a privilege to head out to this previously unexplored region of our home province with such an amazing group of photographers/people. I often look at these folks photos, blogs and Instagram for inspiration. So much talent in one group, it was hard not to be bursting at the seams with excitement to get out and shoot in the polar bear capital of the world with these folks. 

Some highlights of the trip:
-Chats on the long train ride.
-Swimming/Singing with Belugas.
-The Veggie Burger at Tundra Pub (who would've guessed Churchill would have the best veggie burger EVER).
-Exploring bando!
-Talking with the locals in Thompson.

Churchill was a bangin' time, and for its size, it punches way above its weight class, in terms of things to do and see. I wouldn't change anything about this trip and would absolutely jump on the opportunity to go again. 

Anyways, I figured I should do something with some of the pictures I took. Here is a selection of my favourites. ENJOY! :)

Here are links to these folks websites/instagrams if you are looking for a little inspiration! Cheers!

Crokicurl: The Most Winnipeg Thing EVER?

Do you have the rocks to throw down in the octagon? Will you have what it takes to pass your opponents guard? Can you land the hammer right on the button?  No, no, I'm not talking about the UFC. I'm talking about the newest winter sport in Winnipeg.

Throwback Thursday: Reminiscing & The Travel Itch

I'm ready for some travels, like big time! It's been almost a year since my last big trip abroad. I've got an itch that can only be scratched with my passport and bags packed! I've got a few ideas on places to go, but nothing set in stone yet. It's hard to choose when there are so many places to choose from... 

While going through the photo archives reminiscing on past travel experiences I found a file with my first roll of 35mm film on it. Shots from my trip to Turkey, my first big trip abroad. From the archways of the Grand Bazaar to the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia, this is one of the greatest experiences of my life time. I want to relive moments like these. I want to submerse myself in different cultures. I need to travel. I need to experience the world around me to the fullest extents. 

I sense some travels in the near future. Until then, here is the roll I've been reminiscing on.  Shot on my Pentax ME Super.
