I heard on CBC that foodbanks are hurting this year. I also just found out that the Scotia Bank in Nelson is matching dollar for dollar any donation to the Nelson foodbank. This sounds like a good place to make a donation.
One month till Xmas.......
Where did 2008 go?
Luongo will be back and Sanford seems to be doing a good job.
Here is an ad I shot that appeared in SBC Skateboard last summer. The Owners of Unity Boardshop(Jamie and Jillian) in Osoyoos are second to none in terms of awesomeness and they have a great business going on there. I hear Jamie is building a snow-skate course for this winter so I guess there will be some road trips in order. Below is the image before post production.
Went for an nice walk this morning....this weather is not indicative of the time of year. I can see snow on the mountain tops but not very much. There was talk of going to Idaho peak to do sled laps and get some turns in but we'll have to wait for a little more snow.
Slocan Pools are a 15 minute walk from our house and it was nice to be there in the sunshine this morning...that's my girl getting some rays out on the rocks.
Getting ready to head over to a buddy's place for Hockey Night In Canada, the original six are playing...the canucks already won....sweet!
Just back from the Domincan and energized for winter. The weather was amazing and the rum was good. I'll have to work extra hard at hockey to burn off all the food I ate. When I wasn't reading, napping, eating, drinking or staring out at the ocean....wait a minute...thats all I was doing.
Back to the grind......
So if you go to Winlaw and look at the poster board at the Cedar Creek Cafe you'll find signs like this....and also this.....
I think its hilarious.
A group of us went to see Meatdraw play...we also saw them play the night before at the Royal. I've got a bunch of shots to upload but I'm just busy with other stuff right now so you'll have to be patient.
Here is a sample...
At Cedar Creek Cafe....
Summer was great and I'm OK that it is over because I love Fall. There has been snow on the peaks and my ski pass is patiently waiting on my dresser.
Radiohead was ridiculously good. If I were rich I would probably see more of their shows in other countries......oh well.
I met Thom Yorke in Vancouver during their last tour...he was quite pleasant....I was just on my way for a pint at the Irish Heather and I regret not asking him if he would like one as well....who knows what might have happened.
Yeah, so the summer is on it's way out the door and I'm feeling a little panicked about how to fit it all the summer stuff in before its too late. Not that I don't love winter but summer just seemed to go by so fast. Not enough cocktails on the deck, not enough boating or floating down the river or beach time. I know my parents warned me about this....
Here are some photos from a fashion show I was shooting last week in Nelson. They were well organized and lots of people came out to watch. It was held at The Factory. My girl had her paper dress' being modeled.
Racing is fun! This is what we do in the evenings at the race track. We even made campfire nachos.
It was nice to get out of town and see a show. The Tokyo Police Club played a great show and Attack in Black and Smoosh opened for them. Good Times!
OK so I'm still posting snowboard photos...this one is sweet though...its grainy cuz it's a scan from slide! So is anyone else going to see Tokyo Police Club in Kelowna on Wednesday? There are a few extra tickets if you want to go....let me know.
Just got back from LA on Monday and I'm glad to be home but we had a wonderful time in the big city. If you don't have a '64 Impala to cruise around LA in....its really not worth the trouble...Oh, and Denise Richards is doing alright...just so you know.
