Rhys Millen Pike’s Peak World Record

An amazing video of Rhys Millen making  a world record setting run at the Pike's Peak Hill Climb.

I've seen some great video from Joshua Heron who had part in the making of this video.

Mui Mui Vs. Dexter

Well Blam has inspired me to take some more photos of Mui Mui with his photos of Dexter. It is actually quite difficult to get near-the-ground photos of Mui as she tends to approach you as you crouch. She probably thinks we have food. Gotta stop crouching when I put her food bowl down.

Chop Steak Fish Bar

Had a delicious bite to eat at Chop Steak Fish Bar before wings on Wednesday. The food and drink is delicious, the venue is a beaut and the prices are comparable to Earls, Moxies, etc. Highy recommended. They have an awesome outdoor patio area and very chic interior, especially the washroom (lol) and the area leading from the restaurant to the lounge. I actually didn't take photos of the interior... Oh well, next time. I am sure we will be there again.

Daybreakers Trailer

I love zombie and vampire movies. Well maybe not Twilight, but I shouldn't bash it as I haven't actually seen it yet. But Daybreakers looks to be pretty damn awesome.

Of course, I am also awaiting Inglorious Basterds...  Quentin Tarantino directing Nazi Killing. Should be a gooder.

Kev & Danny

Leighton and I teamed up to do some rolling shots of Kevin's Mazdaspeed3 and Danny's e46 M3. Not bad for some of our first attempts. Thanks to my love, Penny, for driving. Thanks to Eunice and Russel for showing us the location.

Also did some stationary shots which I think turned out nice.

Let's see what Leighton got. ;D

Anime Evolution 2009

I didn't really want to go with WordPress, but I needed a better way to show sets of photos versus just individual photos. I do like SimpleViewer so the integration below is a nice touch and should simplify things for me. Went with NextGen Gallery from the advice from fellow photographer, Brian Lam. I call him Blambi.

But anyway, these photos were from the annual anime convention, Anime Evolution, held this year at the New Vancouver Convention Center, downtown.

BCMazda3 Vancouver Aquarium Meet

Another great BCMazda3 meet for the month of May. Thanks to Kev for organizing as usual.

We should have chose a different day, as it took forever to find parking in Stanley Park. Apparently there were 2 or 3 other big events going on in the park at the time.

Again, same as last time, I wish I had a monopod and a backpack style bag for all my camera gear. My poor back.

Jup’s Mazda3

I got my new light stands and figured I would test them out on Jup's car. Hotness.
