I have just finished reading the most refreshing business book I have ever come across. It’s called Rework, and it is truly unique. It the rebellious step child of business books. It breaks all the rules and it encourages you to break them too. It makes radical recommendations, like telling [...]
Recently I was rear ended. It was quite severe, as far as rear ender car accidents go. Bad enough that my car will likely be written off. Bad enough that I could not drive it from the scene of the accident. And bad enough that they did send an ambulance [...]
Is there anyone who has not had someone say to them the following words? “Well that’s not how I would do it” For some reason, I seriously doubt it. As humans, we all seem rather firmly convinced of our own superior knowledge of how to do things. For most of [...]
I have a confession to make: I am a cheater. At typing that is. All through typing class in elementary school I cheated. I simply did not have the patience to learn touch typing back then. I was all about instant gratification. It worked out well for me. I became [...]
I’m really not sure why it has taken so long for me to post this photo as it really is one of my favourites. It’s another one of the Sylvia Hotel, but with a very different feel. As always, high quality prints are available of this image.
“Let’s do something tonight!”, I texted furiously, disregarding my numerous touch screen induced typos in favour of getting my message across as quickly as possible. “Like what?” “I don’t know anything, let’s just not sit around the house tonight.” “Okay, so what do you want to do?” “Hmm, go for [...]
Way back when I originally decided to start my blog using WordPress, I was dismayed at the lack of availability of “clean and simple” themes that I could use as a starting point for developing my own. The themes that were available, whether free or otherwise, all suffered from a [...]
One of the most exceptionally wonderful experiences of my life was attending the Landmark Forum. When I say it changed my life forever, I mean it, and I do not say so lightly. I was so enthusiastic about my experience that I could not have resisted writing about it here [...]
Warning: This post may offend some readers. If you think it might offend you, then you’re probably right. “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. And [...]
One of the most interesting encounters I had in the Dominican Republic was with this Gentleman. He was a “hustler” for one of the shops at the marketplace I visited, and he had a rather interesting offer; after determining that i was Canadian, he expressed his love for Canada, and [...]
I have been more than a little slow in getting any of the photos I took in the Dominican Republic this February published on this site. I had some technical complications. Namely, my laptop decided that the moment I opened up Photoshop upon returning from my trip would be the [...]
I made a sort of un-official New Years resolution to take more photos, hence the sudden binge of photo posts. This time I was having some fun with HDR, a much over used, and over abused technique. However, I think it suits the subject matter of Victoria’s Fan Tan Alley [...]
I snapped this one out the front window from the back seat. Turned out pretty good, all things considered. :) As always, high quality prints are available of this image.
Today we went on an off road adventure to the Virgin Falls just outside Tofino. The lighting wasn’t quite right by the time we got there for good shots of the falls, but I did snap this one of the water below that I am quite pleased with. As [...]
One more of Chesterman Beach, this one focusing on the waves. As always, high quality prints are available of this image.
I am currently enjoying an awesome vacation with my girlfriend in Ucluelet, BC. Today we took a drive up the highway to Tofino and stopped and Chesterman Beach where I took this photo. The are is probably one of the most photogenic in British Columbia, which is saying a lot [...]
I recently had the opportunity to be the official photographer for a fundraiser held by the Semihamoo Animal League (SALI), This image was my favourite of the evening. As always, high quality prints are available of this image.
It has been some time since I have felt inclined to do any writing. It is not that I have not had inspiration, or been lacking in things to write about, it’s just that I have been too busy doing to spend time writing about doing. Indeed, my life has [...]
I am falling behind on the updates again, but this time I have a very good reason. I have been extremely busy behind the scenes doing a fair bit of research and paperwork. Why all the paperwork? Well, I am happy to announce that as of August 15th, 2010, The [...]
A few days ago I posted the shortest blog post ever posted on In The Limelight. In that post I stated very simply that this blog is inauthentic. Or more correctly, in the past it has been inauthentic. I promised an forthcoming explanation, and that is what this article is [...]
