Took a stroll, and a few shots, on Chesterman Beach. Sand was nice on the west side of Vancouver Island. The beach is close to Tofino.
Canon 18-55 lens. Converted to grayscale and added vignette utilizing Photoshop.

Here’s the last of my butterfly shots (that I am posting anyway). Many more, but have to move on at some point. Again, photographed with Canon 100mm 2.8 Macro lens, unedited, full frame.

I’ve never considered myself a strong writer, even as a journalism grad. Guess that’s why I went with the photography option for my ‘major’ as they say. However, I read an interesting article on CNN, http://www.cnn.com/2010/LIVING/07/20/i.write.like.authors.website/index.html?hpt=C2, and decided to plug one of my news stories into “I Write Like”, here’s what I got…
I write like: David Foster Wallace

David Foster Wallace
I’ll have to try that with something other than news and see what develops.

We decided to redesign the company website with a more current and up-to-date site utilizing WordPress features. This really is a great tool for publishing web pages. Click on the image to view.

Just a quick update to let everyone know iBooks Canada is now stocking retail books on the iPad in the Calgary area, not just public domain issues. I have been patiently awaiting this, yeah! Hopefully this is Canada wide for everyone.

One of the pics I took for a newsletter gallery I have put together at work. We have a variety of machinery from CNC machines, to lathes, to robotic welders, and they provide for some pretty interesting photographic opportunities. Shot with a Sony Cybershot DSC-W310.
