coast modern

Wed, 09 May 2012 23:45:45 -0800

I'm really excited to announce that 3 of my
photos have been included in the recently released documentary Coast Modern. The world premiere was last night at the documentary film festival, DOXA, in Vancouver.
I'm very pleased at how it turned out and how well it was received by the sold out audience. The film covers west coast modern homes in California, Oregon, Washington and Vancouver and we hear what Modernism means from well known architects, critics, writers, residents and artists. If
you have an interest in documentaries, architecture, photography and the philosophy behind Modernism;
in my opinion one of the most over-looked and underrated movements in architecture, I highly recommend finding
out if this film is playing in a festival near you.
You will not be disappointed.

Check out the trailer below, it's been a long process
to get this film released and it was worth the wait.
Great work to everyone involved.

The photos of mine that are included are with Julius Shulman's famous photographs in a short sequence about Case Study House No. 22 designed by Pierre Koenig in 1960.

skillz pay my billz

I'm sent these types of videos from friends who often deal with these misconceptions. Also articles and video lectures by creative professionals expressing their challenges with clients expecting them to provide work for "exposure" and credit. I'm not sure when those two things took the place for money but if we're all returning to a barter system or my rent, equipment and bills no longer cost me actual money, then I'd be more willing to consider a trade but until then accepting anything less than proper compensation for my images, time and skill is not going to happen. How many of you out there are also experiencing this? How are you handling it?

On New Year's Day I went down to English Bay with thousands of other people to check out the 92nd Annual
Polar Bear Swim. I set up my camera to shoot a timelapse
of everyone coming and going. This is the result.

This is "The Muppets" at their best.
This anniversary special was made 25 years ago.
It still makes me laugh.
