Classic Gary Young style – Dirt Brothers days. I remember being all set up to shoot photos of Dustin Guenther when Gary was blasting around the park. I just happened to be standing in the right place at the right time when I saw him heading for the hip. No time to really think about it, but it turned out pretty good in the end. This slide ran in Ride UK some time in the early 2000s. Definitely one of the most photogenic guys to shoot.

I’ve been shooting some beautiful frames for Dekerf Cycles.
The Royal Hudson, Surrey, 2009
My uncle has leant me his Pentax 6×7 (67) for a few years now and I was finally able to get some scans into the computer. The camera itself makes me smile every time I trigger the shutter. It’s heavy, a bit awkward, and has a shutter kick like a shotgun, but I love it. When I think about it, with the cost of film and processing, each shot costs me $3. It still gives me the thrill of anticipation, though it’s a very long drawn out anticipation, since a roll of film in the 6×7 lasts me for months.
This shot of the Royal Hudson was taken back in early 2009 as it climbed up Kennedy Hill in Surrey on it’s way to White Rock. Watching it crawl up this grade was nothing short of spectacular. This was taken with a Pentax 45mm lens, I posted a long shot from this same spot here. (Taken with my Nikkon 180mm)
I was able to get ahold of a few copies of the Tourism Nanaimo Travel Planner for 2009. I snagged a few shots in the “Getting Here” section. One a shot from aboard a BC ferry, and one of a Harbour Air Twin Otter taxiing out on the water. I also have the photo in the Nanaimo Airport ad of a Jazz flight being loaded up for the flight to Vancouver. My Harbour Air shot repeats itself in the 2010 edition! The Travel Planner was designed by the great folks at Primal Communications.
