Hello! Enough depressing shit about work, it's Friday! Well, actually sometimes I have to work on the weekends too just to get everything done, but that doesn't matter. I go slower at the weekends, I feel it's my right.


I love the new system on SG right now (if you haven't heard about it you obviously live under a shell on a remote beach somewhere). The following set was sitting on my hard-drive for a good seven+ months doing nothing. The likelihood was that we'd never be able to submit it for one reason or another, but now you CAN see it, and if enough of you like it then we may even still get paid for it.

For sets like this one, though, the pay has never mattered to me. I shoot sets like this one not for work or to pay my bills but because the idea and the girl(s) involved inspire me. Of course, I would love for all shoots to be that way, but reality isn't that kind.

Have I talked it up enough? I hope so. Take a look at Punk Love. Featuring Malloreigh and Starla. They are two of my favourite girls and have been for years, to see them finally do a set together the result was bound to be beautiful.













Let me tell you a couple of stories about this one...

Just a day or two before we shot this Malloreigh was hit by a car while riding her bike. She was lucky in a sense and escaped with a black eye and some serious scrapes. A week or so after she left for her jaunt to NZ and Oz. We missed her here in Van but she's back now. Just a couple of weeks after this I had my own bike accident, if you remember back to last September around the 25th.

We photographed this out by the airport. There is some beautiful marshland around there and lots of people go there to watch the planes flying overhead. It's quite a magical place on the tail end of summer. It really is how it looks in the photos.

There are, unfortunately, a LOT of BC mosquitoes that I am allergic too, but all for a good cause, right?

While we were shooting a storm was coming in off the horizon. You can see it towards the tale end of the set. I adore late summer storms. There is something so raw and powerful about them.

I think Starla and Malloreigh look so amazing together, and ever since they spoke of shooting together I was excited to be the one to help capture that. Starla is now off in LA, and we miss her here too. Maybe she'll come back one day? Who knows...

Please be sure to take a look at the set and leave a note if you like it or want to tell Mall or Starla how amazing they are. I am very proud of this one, and I'm glad we could finally share it with everyone.

I don't really have any other news because I am still spending most of every day stuck behind the computer. I have a very special visitor coming to stay next week that I'm extremely excited about. You'll find out soon enough.

Tonight is also the start of Season 4 of Battlestar Galactica I am SO excited that I am going over to Matthew's brother's house JUST so I can watch the teevee (which we don't have here). Seriously, I can't tell you how much I love that show. It's the best Science Fiction show ever, and that is quite some claim.

Edit: I am watching it right now and it's SO GOOD. Go watch it. Get the DVDs. Seriously.

Okay, til next week... have a glorious weekend!!
