Headed out to Cuba last Monday, got back on pretty much a red eye flight Tuesday morning at 4 am.  Was a pretty long flight back, being tucked in a little space.  I believe the flight was a solid 6 hours, going there was about 5 hours 40 minutes.

Spent 7 days at a 5 star resort which would normally be about a 4 in Mexico, I think mostly because the US doesn’t have any influence on the country.  Beaches are a lot better then Mexico with flatter, warmer and clearer water.  You also don’t have Mexicans bugging ya every few minutes to buy shit.

We headed into the Capital of Cuba, Havana for a day trip.  Saw how a lot of Cubans lived and what they lived in.  Some very interesting structures as well as a lot of variety of vehicles.  Many 50′s Americana cars, Chinese buses and Russian sports cars with very old Spanish architecture.

Didn’t do too much of the culture stuff since we stayed at an all inclusive but it was still quiet an eye opener see how these people lived.

Grabbing some of my favorite shots, I’ll add more probably to flickr later on.

City 15k from our resort. Ran there…running was tough in 26 degree heat

Here are some shots from last  weekend.  Headed over to the island last week and found some good spots.  Pretty happy with a few shots, enjoy.

Interesting vending machine

This was a week before Halloween at Value Village…luck I guess no one was in the image.

Busy everywhere but the baby cloths

Just after the skinny alley

Some shots from friday night.  Fun time, good turn out and all around great event.  Some great feed back and thanks for all who attended. Can’t wait for our next show.

Thought I would share some of what I saw on the way into Vancouver this morning.  It was about 6:30.  Some pretty good light just after some rainin.  I’m needing to use the camera more…

Month Long show is up til the 30th of September. We are hoping to do an opening reception on the 18th starting a 9pm, so if you haven’t been to see whats up on the walls –come out and check it out. Here are shots of whats up!

Headed up to Penticton Once again this weekend, this time for the ironman.  Had a friend in it last year and watch him conquer that bitch.  He skipped this year but him and I and a few others went up to watch and sign up this year.  Great weather, good time, and pretty pumped up for next year.  Camped in the line up over night so we could make sure we would get our spot.

600 dollars for 3.8kms of swimmin, 180kms of bikin, and the old 42.2kms of runnin.  The worse 600 dollars I ever spent.  I plan on doing some fund raising with this stupid adventure and bloggin as much interesting info as possible.

Unfortunately this year one man die in the events 27 year history.  A 60 plus man died of a heart attack just after the swim.  I am seriously thinking about using the heart and lung foundation as my charity of choice, but I am  open to suggestions as well.

Trying to get everything loaded up and ready.  Having some fun getting everything ready.  Few shots of whats going down.  Studio is getting a little full.  Tuesday is going to come fast.

Placing some imagery together for the upcoming show for the month of  September, and had a bit of a slow down.  Ended up shipping a few images off to the press tonight.  See how everything matches up and how well the colors look hopefully tomorrow night.  I am doing something similar to what I did for the show in Calgary but with a little different technique and a few more steps.  :: link ::

Here are the  images I am currently working with and hopefully by friday I’ll have a pretty good idea of an end result.  I’ll show all the steps once everything is put together.
