Family, food, and photos - a perfect weekend

Family, food, and photos - a perfect weekend. My niece and bro were in town to visit our cousin's newborn baby, so we ate and drank and ate some more, built a windup zombie robot out of clay, and watched Mariana get up to all kinds of mischief. Also, check out the animated gif I made of the Zombie Robot toy.

Fun With Photobooths!

The last time I shot a wedding, I made a vow that I would only do it again if there was a photobooth involved. So when Rob and Andrea asked me to shoot theirs, I made it happen. I'll just let the photos do the talking.

And because this was the only time during the entire day that we had any down time, Dean and I got in on the fun as well.

Scrambles - Yamnuska

We took a short but fun scramble up Yamnuska today. 900m of elevation gain, spread over an interesting mix of forest, a rocky chute, a lengthy trudge up steep rock face, navigating a rock wall with anchored chains, and then a run down the frontside scree slopes.
