A Weekend in Van

Andrew McMullen came up for the weekend so we could work on a portfolio site for him. He had his layout and work ready to go, so as soon as he got here on Saturday morning, we sat down and started to bang it out. We worked pretty much the whole day Saturday and Sunday, stopping to hang out at Chris Young’s for a BBQ birthday bash. I guess Chris went sky diving earlier… A surprise gift! We also went to the movies to see Step Brothers on Sunday with Michaela… so good! The one thing I found odd about the movie was everyone was overly tanned and it looked real fake… Weird? Anyway, here are a few photos from the weekend.

Toronto

I just got back from a 10 day trip to Toronto with MacNeil. We were out there with the Kink team to do some demos at the two of the Ten Pack Am contests and film in the city during the week. I had a rad trip and it was cool to finally get to spend some real time in Toronto. I went there last year, but was only in the city for one day. It definitely has more of an east coast feel and some neighborhoods made me feel like I was in New Jersey. Big old houses, tree lined streets… Metro Jam is going down just outside of Toronto over Labor Day weekend, so I’m pretty psyched to get to go back.

I picked up a Yashica T4 from David Lang before he moved back to Singapore and this was my first time using it. It’s funny to roll around with a film camera, shooting photos for a blog… No one gets it… Until they see the photos. I’m super psyched on the camera and it’s crazy, cus on most of my trips, I’ll shoot around 100 digital photos a day and on this trip, I only shot like 20 the whole time… Below are some of my favorites, but you can check out all of them on the MacNeil blog.

Medium Format

Andrew McMullen let me borrow is Mamiya RZ67 for a bit and here are some shots off the first few rolls… The photos of me were taken by David Lang.

I’ll be taking off for Toronto at 5am tomorrow… yes! I Love early flights!! Oh, wait… They suck… The last time I went to the airport my taxi driver got in a car crash on the way, so hopefully this trip will be a bit smoother. I’ll be out there for 10 days with the Kym and Jaumell on a MacNeil trip and there’s a good chance I won’t be updating this blog… I will be posting on the MacNeil site, so you can follow my trip over there - macneilbmx.com
