High resolution commercial & stock photography: Assiniboine Park
For the last few years I have provided high resolution photography (up to 700 megapixels) to clients who needed it. Today, I shot several different locations at Assiniboine Park (of who I am very thankful to be the official photographer for) for use in large trade displays.

Concert photography: Rammstein
This was THE best concert I have ever been to. I've been to everything from Metallica to Rob Zombie and everything in between and around the corner and I am fairly sure I will NEVER see that much fire, explosions and energetic rock for a long time! Amazing show!

After being the first photographer in WPG with a BLOG I'm now the last to use Twitter. ( I guess I'm not the techno geek I thought I was!)
While at the NMC conference I talked to their social media squad and got some info on Twitter amongst other things and decided to finally sign up. During the conference I will be making my first Tweets, all with photos!
You can now follow me on Twitter where I plan to post behind the scenes photos, backstage shots as well as other interesting tidbits. Check out the entries here:

As usual, this month I organized the monthly meeting for the photo community, but this time we all went out as a group to shoot the sunset around the Provencher Bridge! It's always inspiring to shoot with multiple other photographers and just to chat about gear and photography in general!

I took photos which I will post soon but also created a time-lapse video that you can see below or in HD on my new YouTube channel here.

I have finally had some time to catch up on some concerts and other events I wanted to add to my blog. Here they are:
Corporate portraits for the NCN/Nelson House Educational Authority
I've been very lucky to work with aboriginal people on several occasions and it's always an honour, especially such as in this case where I was present for an opening prayer.

Today I had the massive honour of being interviewed for an article for my Alma mater: Université de Saint-Boniface. They were creating a feature article on past students who are doing well in their fields which is to appear in a future edition of their newsletter. It's always nice to be recognized in any way in the photography world, especially by my Alma mater.

Out of my brain and through my camera.
Inspired by photos I see all over the place and photographers I'm inspired by, I sometimes come up with some strange visualizations.
This one, has the Canadian Museum for Human Rights rooted in Manitoba soil.

As president of the Winnipeg Photo Community, I hosted our monthly meeting tonight. It was a really fun meeting with (as usual) lots of new members. It's always great to hang out with photo lovers, new and old!

New gear: Another new addition to my gear this month is the Nikon D800.
There has already been much discussion about how this camera, being 36 megapixels and very close to medium format digital size and quality will affect the industry. I just want to take pictures with it. ;)
Over the next month I'll be extensively testing both this and the Nikon D4 and giving real world reviews on both.

New gear: Normal visitors to this BLOG can ignore this post, only those photo enthusiasts such as myself will appreciate this. Today I finally upgraded my 4 year old DSLR from a Nikon D3 to the brand new Nikon D4. It's likely, just like with the Nikon D3 that I purchased the first Nikon D4 available in Winnipeg, but that's only because I camped out in front of Don's Photo in a tent.
Although some people are fooled by expensive photo gear, thinking it can make them a better photographer, it can't. However, having a new camera is like getting a new car...all that new camera smell! And, next week I'm getting yet another camera!

Commercial event photography: The Broadcasters Association of Manitoba had me shoot their AGM.
Shooting commercial events is one of my favourite things to do. You get to hang out in someone else's world for a day or an hour and get a sense of what their field is like. In some cases, such as the BAM event, you even hear about interesting concepts and things coming into play in their industry.
As the official photographer for events at the MTS Centre, Winnipeg, I offered the opportunity for people to shoot the Monster trucks event today to anyone from my photo community, the WPC. From a handful of people who applied I selected Doug P. to shoot the event. Huge thanks to Doug!
I finally had some time to go back and add some galleries from the summer. Here's some stock photos of the fireworks from the Red River Ex 2011

Engagement photos: Despite only doing wedding and engagement photography for really good friends or family now, I still managed to photography my OWN. :-> I very happily took my own engagement photos of my fiancée Camille and I around our favourite area, St B!
There was no one there but her and I and despite the cold and having to control the camera myself and then jump into the picture, I think the photos turned out ok.

I've been seeing my photos all over the place lately. It's always cool to see how clients use some of my work.
