Missing the Rainbow… a lesson in Life and Photography

I recall a few years ago, when I was working as a computer technician for a School District in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island.  I lived and worked near CFB Comox, which is widely known to be the home of the Spring Training for the Snowbirds, as well as being home base for 442 Squadron – a Search and Rescue team that use the bright yellow Buffalo Aircraft, and the new Cormorant helicopters to execute rescue operations throughout the west coast.

Fashion hits Museum London in style!

Last night was the Annual Unbound Fashion Show, the final showcase and major project for the students of the Fanshawe College Fashion Design Program.  I have to commend ALL that were involved in the show for a job well done, as they stage came to life, and the fashions drew a wide variety of reactions from the audience as models glided down the runway. Having the chance to be a part of this show for the second year in a row, I now take to the editing suite to review, select, re-select, and edit the more than one thousand images I captures last night. Kitaro on… Coffee on… water on standby… I’m ready to spend a few hours in the first stages of the editing process.  Then… post some teasers here and on the Facebook feeds.  Through the days ahead I will review and edit finals, cutting the list to the top 100 or so final images and only when satisfied with the results, you’ll hear from me again about the show and see the final edits. So stay tuned! There will be some hot new fashion images coming quite soon!

The Directory is coming to life…

I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since I first mentioned this project to you, and now I’m happy to report that the NEW version is online and ready to promote. It’s coming together much better than the first attempt, and will offer me a much greater opportunity to grow new features into the system while maintaining a simple user experience and better performance.
