Here we are with another Olympic event!

On Friday, Deb and I took in our first curling match. It was quite a lot of fun. I think the person who made the decision to have spectators at Curling matches must have had ADD. They have 4 games going at once, and this is perfect for when the game you really came to see is having a boring end. We came specifically to see Canada beat Denmark, and at times there were some boring ends, so we turned our attention to the other games going on and they seemed to have some action going on. The Japan/Great Britain game ended with Japan winning 11-4 after Japan got 5 points in the 9th end to seal the deal. That was cool to see.

Canada’s game, on the other hand, was much tighter. In fact, after 10 ends it was tied up at 4-4. So off to an extra end we went. It was extremely close, but in the end Canada place a stone right on the button to take a point and end the game 5-4. Crowd = wild. Then they announced that Canada won a gold in Men’s Skeleton. Crowd = very wild. It was awesome.

Enough words! PHOTOS…. GO!!!!

The sign for the Vancouver Olympic Centre

The 4 sheets of the Vancouver Olympic Centre. Canada's on Sheet A which is to our far right.

The motto for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. Also, if you're not aware, this is a line in our national anthem.

HARRRRD!!!! Our Canadian women working hard.

The reflection off the lights. Obviously these lights were turned off

The game between Japan and Great Britain. See all those yellow stones? all of them scored. That made the game impossible for Great Britain to win, so they conceded after 9.

I LOVE the design of our... designs? ummm... ya

Canada had the hammer in the overtime end, and this it.

We Win!! Right on the button! GO TEAM CANADA!!!

Hey all!

As you probably know by now, Vancouver is the host of the 2010 Winter Olympics right now! It’s half way through and it’s been pretty amazing so far. I’ve never seen Vancouver so busy. It’s a huge cliche, but the air is electric in this town. It’s really cool.

On Tuesday I went to Whistler with a friend of mine to watch the 3rd and 4th runs of the women’s luge. It was so cool to see an olympic event LIVE. A once in a lifetime opportunity, that’s for sure. I’m going to see women’s curling on friday, so that will be a twice in a lifetime opportunity For now, here’s a few photos from the luge.

The Olympic Rings

Well, That about does it for the Luge event I went to. Tomorrow I’m going to see some curling action. It should be awesome. Canada’s undefeated so far, so I’m looking forward to seeing them play! Is that the right word… play? Do you PLAY curling?? Meh, whatever

Edit: I have been corrected. I will be seeing the Canadian women’s curling team WIN.

Hi all!! Wow.. This is our first post of 2010. A little late, but happy new year!!!

Deb and I were putting together some of our marketing materials for 2010 and had to take some photos of ourselves. We got out our big ringlight and took a bunch of photos… well… here, have a look:

Have you thought about having a photobooth? They are a LOT of fun! We love doing photobooths. They’re such a fantastic way to get photos with your guests. Ask us about how you can have a photobooth at your event

Since the forecast for this week calls for rain until Friday and into the weekend, I thought I would share one of my favourite summer photos. It was taken on the hottest day of the year on record in Vancouver (only to be beaten the next day!). I remember it well too. It was hot, sticky, humid and VERY sweaty! That evening I went up to Queen Elizabeth Park with the photo club that I’m in for a photowalk. When we reached the top, the fountain had at least one hundred people in it taking advantage of the cold water. These kids had the right idea! Enjoy

One evening during the summer, Deb and I decided to go for a bit of a photowalk… or rather, a photodrive. We headed out to Langley to shoot some old trucks that we saw a few weeks prior. We got a lot of great images and this is one of my favourite. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do
