Looking out over the city of Courtney from My Becher in Strathcona Provincial park on Vancouver Island as a full moon rises.
Making plans for holidays next summer. Took my Eagle Tourer out for a short spin to check if it's ready and fit for any upcoming camping trips.
My Eagle Tourer is a refurbished 1975 classic Transport model. The passenger pod is fitted with modern interior designed for light leisure travel. It bunks four, there is also a lounge and a small kitchenette. Toilet and shower took a little effort to fit in because, as you know, spaceships rarely have them, but in the end, they went in and work like a charm. Mosquito nets on doorways are a given, there is also a 100mb/s continuous broadband wi-fi.
With the Tourer, any trip is a hoot. You can fly wherever you like (bar non-flying zones) and live in the comfort of the Tourer pod. Holidays – I can't wait!
When I bought the MPC Round2 22" Eagle I did not think how awful it would be to use it in my photographs. It looks great, better than I had anticipated even, and I loved to build it, but those pipes! Oh man, masking them in Photoshop is a nightmare. Especially the spine structure on top, it's a major pain to make look nice and clean.
I am not going to enjoy making these as much as I thought I would, but it's sill more fun than a barrel of monkeys. :)
Camping at Beachside State Park on the Oregon Coast this weekend. Perfect weather, great campfires (and good wine)--one to remember!
After spending 2 nights car-camping at different locations near Gold Bridge, Jon & I headed up towards Dickson Peak for a backpacking overnighter.
Our route was up Roxey Creek. Mostly on an old road and ATV track, passing a few cabins in various stages of decay. Then made our way up through the meadows towards this end of the valley. We set up our camps (Jon chose a place in the trees) and headed up towards the summit.
Dickson Peak is not visible from this spot. It is to the right and ended up being much higher than the reflected peaks you can see here. We had started hiking around lunch time, which is a little late, so our descent was in the dark and made for a few little adventures.
It was a chilly night. Minus -5 degrees celsius when we woke up. But with my down booties on, I was only too pleased to wander around, checking out the first light creeping onto the surrounding mountains.
We didn't see any other people the entire hike.

i am still digging some shots i never bothered posting. it's insightful going through years of photographies.
on a side note, i knew i couldn't stay away from a Leica camera for too long. i pulled the trigger on the Leica Q.
I happened to cruise down this little road in Camp Verde early one Saturday morn and thought, how lovely . . . must do this with my camera next time.
Picked a puffly cloud summer afternoon and headed out. As I approached my "tree", a small micro-burst developed over head, creating a spotlight effect.
Serendipity ;{)
Camp Verde, AZ
Looking south from the top of British camp towards Swinyard hill in the distance.
The weather forecast had said that there was a slight chance of some decent light at sunset, sat on the top of the British Camp on a cold and very windy evening that seemed very remote but just as the sun went down I did get some colour in the sky.
Since the evening wasn't the best weather wise at least I had the hill top to myself.
Here’s one more Vertorama from my archives… taken about three months ago from a beach near Camps Bay.
I’ve recently noticed that some anonymous Flickr user (with no buddy icon or photos on their stream) has been adding meaningless comments to several of my contacts’ photos. These comments always include a small image which appears to be a video-player… and a link to click on if you want check out the video.
That got me thinking about all these warnings that I get to NEVER click on any links included in an email message… unless the email was sent by someone who I can really trust. These days I get an average of about 10 emails per week from my bank (supposedly)… asking me to click on the link below to confirm my bank details. Of course these emails are NOT being sent to me by my bank… but rather by criminals who are trying to redirect me to their website… to enter my bank details… so that they can use them steal all my money! This is commonly known as a “Phishing Attack”.
So… I wondered… what’s to stop someone from launching their phishing attack from a link included in a Flickr comment? If I clicked on their link… couldn’t that automatically start downloading a trojan or some or other keystroke-logging program that would monitor all my keyboard activity… looking out for passwords and other banking details? And even if the comment (and link) has been added by one of my trusted contacts… surely it would be quite simple to create a new Flickr account with a name like “Mike Jones Photgraphy” (incorrectly spelled)… using Mike’s buddy icon… in an attempt to catch the unwary Flickr users?
Even those notification emails that Flickr sends me (to my private email address) when someone has added me as a contact… surely it would be the easiest thing in the world to fake that simple email and to send it to people who have a Flickr account? I never click on the links in these emails messages… I always log on to Flickr first… then go to my inbox… and then click on the links in the messages listed there. But I have no doubt that there are many people who do click on the links in these notification emails… can you really be sure that the email is being sent to you by Flickr?
So… I have decided that from today onwards… I will no longer be clicking on any links included in any comments… from anybody that I don’t know! Call me paranoid if you like… I call it playing safe! Food for thought?
My favorite image of the day is this amazing photo by master landscape photographer Jesse Estes from Portland in Oregon. This particular photograph was taken in Yosemite during the Winter of 2009… maybe it’s the fact that I’ve never had the opportunity to shoot a snow scene… but this is probably my favorite image that I’ve EVER seen on Flickr! You rock Jesse… you’re miles ahead of me… but I’m hoping that if I pay careful attention to what you’re doing… that one day I might also be able to shoot something as incredible as this!
Nikon D300, Sigma 10-20 at 10mm, an aperture of f16 and a 1/8th second exposure.

One of the biggest highlights of last year was no doubt the opportunity to head over to Los Angeles to meet and hang out with some inspiring, creative minds at Phootcamp. This year, I'm doing it all again in Marfa, Texas! As part of the application process, we had to shoot a self portrait (see last year's here). The portrait was inspired by everything I learned at last year's camp and included a few recurring themes from other people's photos! The shirt I'm wearing is inspired by this "Nate Bolt!" shirt by Steph Goralnick. The portrait has also been featured along with the many other talented Phoot Camp attendees here on Pictory, an always beautiful and inspiring website created by Phootcamp founder, Laura Miner. I can't wait to meet all the new faces and really dig deep into getting creative with such an awesome bunch of people!
We had reservations to go camping in Mt Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest but there was a forest fire about 20 miles from our park. So we loaded up anyways and headed in the opposite direction to Whidbey Island hoping to find a last minute spot.
We finally found this park and even though they said they were full they had some campers that left early and we were able to snag their spot. :) We had fun but I think this is the loudest campsite I've ever been to. Up until midnight we could hear a group talking and laughing so loudly that we couldn't sleep. I'm not sure if those people were extremely loud or if sound carried further because of the way the trees were.
We still had fun despite the loud neighbors and campfire ban because we ate chili, drank beer and played card games in the woods. :)
