Florida day two

just a neat pic Brenna shot while we drove

Day two brought us further south into the glades. We took most of the day to go through the South East area and hit some nice driving and walking paths in the glades. We saw a lot more than we expected. Once again, lots of great photos I can't even squeeze in here. And lots of photo credit goes out to Brenna. Check back, day three coming soon!

Taz session Jan 2013

Tommy with a trick rarely seen these days. The fufanu. Not all is lost with the younger generation after all?

Check out some recent Taz photos from this month. People shredded and we logged some great footage as well. Shot with the T3i - canon 35mm and Opteka 6.5mm fisheye. 

Florida trip day one

cruisin' the Everglades on the airboat

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Now that all of that is done with, I can get back to life.

Brenna and myself took a small trip. We were over due. We flew to Miami, with intentions of going to the Everglades and the Keys, looking for cool stops and adventure along the way. We really hoped to see animals and catch some nice weather. Here is day one of the trip. These are only a select few photos as we snapped a lot. We didn't do so well getting to Florida though. The airline screwed us over, providing us with a transfer that was unattainable, forcing us to miss the flight they provided us with. Ridiculous. So we had to take a later flight, killing our afternoon plans. I was sitting in an airport waiting to start my vacation after having worked the night before and only getting a tiny bit of sleep on the plane. We finally arrived in Miami, but to only find that our luggage didn't make the trip and it never even left our transfer location. Brutal. We didn't waste anytime. We got into the rental car and headed straight to the everglades. We stopped at Coopertown air boat rides. The first one we could find before it got too late. Our guide was super and our small vessel only had 2 other passengers. So it was pretty awesome. Things turned around and we got our luggage delivered later that night at 3am... but we trooped it out and chugged along. I apologize as I cannot remember all the names of the animals. All these pics were shot with the T3i - Tamron 18-270mm lens. Check back for more pics soon. I have 5 or 6 days to upload yet.

Hallowe'en

Derek as Two Face

Sorry for the late post on this one. Thanks to everyone who came and dressed up. Some really, really good costumes! The theme was film characters. Unfortunately some people don't even make an appearance on here because I was shooting some pretty out of focus shots that night.

An afternoon at the Brose Farm

Jay was trying to perfect his no footed cans all afternoon. It's a good shot when you can see the waffle in the sole

I was unable to ride the last Brose Farm jam, but got lucky enough to have Josh have myself and a few others out for a session before it got too cold. Here are a bunch of photos and video edit of the shredding. People went pretty hard for the camera. The video below captures MOST of the best things that went down. On a roll here recently, let's keep it up. Somehow motivated to ride and film while the weather runs out on us. Hey, make sure to watch that video in HD from the vimeo page too!

2012 end of summer mix edit

2012 end of summer mix from Dirty Lens Productions on Vimeo.

I had a fun summer doing all sorts of things. Here is a video simply smashed together since I had too many random clips and not enough to do proper individual edits. Cherish the warm sunny days, they won't last long now!

Make sure you click the vimeo link and go my page and watch in HD. It won't be amazing quality because I don't have vimeo plus, so I had to squish a big vid to fit a small margin...

Enjoy!

2012 Tdot Embassy Spring Trip

I finally got my edit up on my own vimeo player. Enjoy this quickly in HD when you click on the vimeo link. I feel like I haven't ridden all year, then I watch this and realize I didn't too badly for my schedule. Although, I neeed to ride more. New end of summer edit coming as we speak. Enjoy.

more photos from Quebec + Roland bonus shot

Just some more photos from our QC trip. Also a great shot I have been meaning to put of Roland shot by his friend. Roland was down this summer, so hopefully you got to shred a bit with him. He hasn't slowed down a bit! Way to go Roland. Awesome sequence!

end of summer doesn't mean end of fun

Who?

No. No it doesn't. Here some more recent things I have been up to as well. Most notably my and Brenna's 10 year anniversary, celebrated in Quebec city. What an awesome place. Highly recommended if you haven't been yet. Just a really beautiful place to get away with a loved one. Brenna scored us a sweet hotel right in old Quebec and it was perfect being in the thick of everything every moment. There was lots to do and the city was very lively. Here are a whack of photos in no particular order. Hope everyone is getting in those final outdoor plans. Like Josh's Dirt Jam!

Zoo and Quebec photos are with the T3i and Tamron 18-270 walk around lens (lifesaver for those attainable zoom shots without carrying a second lens) and the rest are junky iphone pics.

over cooked and over due

Kyle Lafleur generously got me Iron Maiden tickets in Toronto for my bday. In all my years of listening to metal, I never really liked Maiden. They were awesome live. As good or better than any show I have seen. Great sound and superior stage presence. Here the stage is lit with flames. Next bunch of photos are randoms of my iPhone.

 Holy hell. One word to describe summer; BUSY. A second word? Fun.

Sorry for the lack of updates. It's just been so insane that finding half an hour to do this has been tough. But that is good, that means I haven't been on a computer all summer. Great news. Enjoy the pics. More to come in the next few weeks, as well as summer mashup video edit. Another great summer in the books!
