Spring!

Spring is finally here after all the rain and grayness! It was plus 15 and sunny all weekend so with some serious motivation we tackled the homework situation and made some time for ourselves to get out and enjoy the awesome weather, after tanning on the roof and getting a little burned we went out and revisited Sugarloaf Mountain which has an awesome view of the ocean and the city. Then we checked out Buttertubs Marsh, as I haven't been there in ages and Jenny had never been, it was so beautiful and hot. Sunday we went skiing but unfortunately no pictures from that adventure. Can't wait for more nice weather, and photo opportunities!

"Winter"

Winter is in full swing here now and as you can see it is pretty unbearable and cold. My life is pretty tough these days between surfing, fishing, and volunteering at the aquarium I can barely get by. Hopefully I get some slack here soon because this is just too much for a person to keep up with. I'm planning on getting out and taking some more pictures soon but for now this is what I'm working with. Also, to anyone who wants to know, wet suits are probably the coolest invention, they are warm and comfortable and totally wicked. That water we're sitting in is probably about 5 degrees Celsius (frigid), and we are toasty and warm.

Rainy Days, Dreary Haze


Winter has arrived in the form of about 80 X 10^32 raindrops this week, and its completely dark around 4:30. Everybody seems to be zombifying a little bit, and its pretty grey and dreary. At least it makes for some good photo opportunities. With my new tripods, trusty $5 Wal-Mart umbrella, and a pair of shoes I gave up trying to keep dry a long time ago; I am going to try to get out in the wetness as much as I can and snap some cool pictures of Nanaimo in its truest form. Stay posted, and thanks for taking time out of your "study schedule".

About Me

My photo
Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Just a dude with some pens, pencils, markers, and a camera. The natural world is my inspiration for all my art, I often borrow concepts and ideas from the creepy crawly inhabitants living in my back yard, on the beach, or in books I read. I also get alot of my ideas by the visuals in my head I get upon contemplating the titles of songs from many of my favorite bands. Most of which are metal bands, needless to say there are some interesting song titles within the genre. As of late I have had a re-awakening of the spider lover within me, reminiscent of my days as a young boy out in the yard with a magnifying glass.
