Getting Ready for September

As we’re approaching fall, many of which consider it to be a new beginning as signified by the end of summer, my action plan is to organize as many as TEN creative shoots for the month of September. The journey of a photographer can be fickle at times, and in my own path I’ve stopped to focus on different genres when it came to building my portfolio. Next month I’ve decided to go full out on fashion/beauty because I love shooting it, and just because it’s probably the last industry that I can get paid work out of is no reason to stop. Oh and there’s the weather, cause you know that Vancouver weather starts to suck once October hits.

So what are you going to do in the upcoming month to build your portfolio?  Unless you’re a professional photographer who’s fully booked with gigs, you have no excuse not to, not if you want photography to be a means of livelihood. There’s obviously no need to plan as many as ten photo shoots. Whatever you do, just make sure you don’t get too comfortable.

Downtown Trekking on an OIympic Night

Since I wasn’t able to keep up blogging for 7 days straight, it’s back to having a normal post schedule. This past Friday night a few friends and I set out to watch the Deadmau5 concert at Livecity Yaletown. We got there at approximately 5pm to wait in line, but little did we know that full capacity was reached at 4pm!

Instead we walked around downtown Vancouver. Highlights include waiting in line for more than 30 minutes for Japadogs and the Light Show at Robson Square at 9:30 which is taking place daily until the end of the Olympics as far as I know.

Pictures from our trek.

Security was quite tight in front of Livecity Yaletown.

Lineup for the Deadmau5 concert. This was shot at approximately 5:30 pm, two hours after it had already reached full capacity. We were a bit late to say the least.

The lineup for this place stretched for what seemed like a mile! We didn't end up going in.

Lineup for Japadogs. It may not seem that long, but we watied well over half an hour. The fact that people were willing to wait that long just goes to show how popular they are.

At this guy. He was quite entertaining I must say. Not sure if he does this every night.
