Part of the on-going “What’s in Your Fridge” campaign from BC Hydro.

Some out-takes from a recent shoot…more to come…

Some of the work I photographed for BC Place Stadium last year has been included in the updated website for the new renovations…

We wrapped another portrait shoot for the ongoing series for BC Hydro’s Team Powersmart campaign. The subjects this time around were Matt Hill and Stephanie Tait who run an organization called Run for One Planet. These two are a pretty cool duo, and talk about inspiring. They ran one marathon per day for a whole year and all in the name of promoting environmental action. I asked Matt if that really meant they ran 365 days in a row and he mentioned they usually took a day or two off each week…your body simply couldn’t take that much action with no recovery time.

Now that’s pretty amazing, but my favorite thing about their website was a blog posting called “Where Does Your Garbage Go?“, a fascinating article about an organization down in Seattle, headed by MIT, called Trash Track. They electronically tag items in the trash and track their journey to their ultimate destination, wherever that may be. Kind of like the other end of the 100 Mile Diet…

“Imagine a future where immense amounts of trash didn’t pile up on the peripheries of our cities: a future where we understand the ‘removal-chain’ as we do the ‘supply-chain’, and where we can use this knowledge to not only build more efficient and sustainable infrastructures but to promote behavioral change.”

Nice.

Hot off the press.

I photographed Mike Dennison a while back for his new “Runner’s Yoga” DVD which has now just been released. Mike has been teaching yoga and running for years now and quickly saw the benefits of combining the two into a complete training program. Now you can too!

Get going….

I received an email from Oscar at Behance this morning to let me know that two of my portfolios have been featured on Photography Served, one of Behance’s “Served” sites that they developed to further showcase the best projects in the Behance Network, within specific industries.

“Our editorial team features a small number of projects every day. With many thousands of options, we only pick a few that promote new thinking in the industry.”

Thanks to Oscar and the Behance Team.
