Rob & Lauren (photographers - who I shot!)
I’ve just returned from 3 days hanging out with Rob & Lauren, who are some wickedly awesome photographers in edmonton, Canada. While I was there, they asked if I’d like to do a little portrait shoot of them. They’re a super cute couple, who I think everyone is waiting to get married. They have a super successful wedding photography business here in Canada and shoot lots of Indian Weddings. That recently lead them to India for something called “The Wedding Travellers” & you all should check out their website to see more about it!
This is also the first shoot where I felt like my life could have been in danger. A drunk or stoned guy on the side of the street came up to us and started to pick a fight because we were photographing in “his area” and we were “liars” and creating “propoganda”. I guess it didn’t help when I invited him to “lie with us”. He reached for something in his back pocket and we fled.
Also while I was there, they also organised a bit of a lunch, and I met up with a few other photographers at that as well. Michael, Chris and Jason.. it was great to meet you/see you again!
Whilst I was there, I also did another wickedly fun, absolutely nuts, crazy fun shoot, which I will share later in the week. Just wait till you see who it was!
Also, I want to show you something that made me teary. This is THE MOST IMPRESSIVE wedding video demo I have ever seen. These guys make me want a wedding video. This is by the crew at Still Motion here in Canada The section with the vows make me take those big deep breaths that I get every time I am about to cry.
Other news: I miss my mum and family back home in Armidale
Also, I apologise to anyone who is waiting to hear back from me in an email. I have been absolutely inundated with emails from photographers as well as wedding enquiries from all over! I will reply to EVERYONE in due course.
It seems that we have a huge new group of people reading the Journal. I checked the stats and the figures have nearly doubled in the last few weeks. I will make a “hello video” for you all this week to introduce myself.
But for now……(drum roll please)… enjoy these spectacular images.

Nice work! Sounds like you are almost as busy over there as you were here! Hope you’re having stacks of fun.

Dear Jim,
I am missing you as well, as are the kids. You probably won’t recognise the boys when you come home.

Hey James,
Great Shots. Is there one with you guys running away from the guy with the gun.
Mike: Thanks mate, Bless ya!
Rachel: Oh.. I’m not as busy as OZ.. but between that and hanging with Lauren, time gets filled pretty quickly.
Cathy (mrs pantene pro v pin up girl): I really need to get myself a tilt shift. I just borrow people’s all the time. Anyone want to buy me one?
Rob & Lauren: You lie! Do you reckon I should share that shot of him swearing at us?
Julia: Answer your phone next time I call sis!
Tim: There is a shot of him in the middle of a swear word that I fired off from the hip.. but do you think that would be kinda bad to share it on here? check your email by the way buddy.. there’s a surprise in there for you.
James, looks like you kept the 90mm TS-E after all! Did you go to Lance or buy it over there? Great shots by the way - LOVE the tilt!
Shhhhh the Pantene thing is a secret just between you and me
LOL
