It's 3am right now. Been playing Skate 2 for hours. I bought a tv yesterday and a xbox with live. Also got internet hooked up yesterday through Shaw... the old wireless signal that I was stealing was starting to crap out on us. Skated at Quilchena two days ago for the first time ever, and saw a few buddies I haven't seen in a while. Saw Alice in Wonderland, and went to Bon's for breakfast the other day, and old roommates TJ and Jen were there, which was funny because I was going snowboarding with TJ the next morning. Snowboarding was fun, but it started to get really crappy out (hail, rain, wind). Gonna shoot some skateboarding on Saturday... it's been a while.

I'm back! Well... I've always been here but the website was down for 2 weeks or so. I stopped paying for my server because it was $150 a month, I've had it since grade 10, and my other website isn't bringing much money in anymore, so I decided to sell it, and move onto a buddies server for free, to host this website.
Lots of things have happened since I last wrote on here. I sold my Bronica/fisheye kit the other day to Dylan Davies, we're both stoked! Oliver is moving out in a few days, he's going to Cali soon for the summer. Nelson Conway is living with me now, which is dope because I'll skate alot more often now... and take photos! Night mission time.
I'm doing a cell phone photo series of people that come into my store wearing K-Way jackets, since I have one myself. I've got around 15 different photos so far, gonna wait until I have lots before I do anything with them. It's kinda awkward asking dudes if I can take a photo of their jacket, I've never been turned down so far though! I've seen them in black, blue, orange, clear, and pink so far! Only happens maybe once a week, if I'm lucky... so it may take awhile.
Been working mornings everyday, which I like because I wake up early, then I have all day afterwards to go shoot photos, or relax. No more closing and then opening!
I'm thinking of taking less hours during the summer, and to focus on photography. I've been saving money lately, so I could coast all summer, and get lots done!
I bought another battery for my digital, the old one was dying out after a few hundred shots... it's getting old from sequences. So now I won't have to worry about it dying half way through the day. My memory card is starting to upload very slow too... veryyy slow, so I'm thinking of picking up a faster card today. They're pretty cheap now compared to when I first got it.
It's spring now, so stoked!

I'm off to Seattle for the day with J-F for a photo mission. So stoked to be shooting again!!!

Today is my first day off in about a month, and I have tomorrow off as well, finally have time to relax! Gonna fire off a few rolls of 120 today.
Update:
Just came back from the beach, went to shoot some 150mm hassy shots of seagulls, bought a loaf of bread to bring the birds to me, and shot a roll... then realized I had the wrong back and it had no film, so I wasted a good hour, so I went back home and grabbed the other back, which had some film in it from the guy who sold it to me. Went back to the beach, but went into the low tide area with all of the rocks, finished that roll, then when I opened the back I forgot to wind it so I exposed the end of the roll. It was also 400 speed, when I thought it was 100 speed. Then when I loaded up the next roll, the seagulls smartened up and just decided to take the bag of bread from me, so I called it quits.
I also bought a Sekonic L-558r Dualmaster meter, picked it up today... it has everything I need, the L-358 is good to me, but I missed having a spot meter when I had the L-508, so I'll be selling that now. Went to Bonsor yesterday to go swimming, haven't gone swimming in a long time. My elbow is super sore now because of it, I really need to start working it out (hurts from when I dislocated it). Sunset was amazing last night, I took some cellphone pics (I got a new phone):
