Apparently, in a nod to our primal roots, we humans enjoy relocating from our comfortable rows of homes to less comfortable rows of campsites. There we practice our survival skills, by making fire (with a blowtorch), roughing it (by sleeping on air mattresses inflated by battery powered fan) and by cooking MEAT (on the George Foreman grill, personally endorsed by George).

Ah well, at least we smelled of smoke and fed the mosquitos.

Harrison 2005

A few new photos of Ryan here.

And a few from Mel (and Toms) BBQ here.

Hey, we have a few photos from the wedding of SlantyME and Angel.

And PS, in case you think they got lost, we actually do have pictures of the party at which the lucky couple met, the Good and Evil party.

Have put some more pics up while back to work in the crisp pre-spring North:

As always the rest can be found in Mikko’s Gallery

Originals can be found here.

some of you may know that when it comes to photography, i am a bit of stubborn traditionalist (trina will say that i am merely stubborn). i don’t have access to the excellent photosoc facilities at ubc anymore, and there’s nothing like it in worcester, though i did find an incredible space here – a huge old factory taken over by artists, one of whom rents darkroom space for the low low price of $5/hour. the building is amazing and huge, filling a whole square block. in vancouver it would cost about a bazillion dollars. here you can rent out a room for $150/month.

anyhoo, as i was saying, i refuse to go the path of the dark side and replace my slr with a digital camera, but – on the other hand – i’m busy man! printing photos takes forever! and so i sucked it in, whipped out my credit card, and bought this bad boy. it scans film at 5400 dpi; at that resolution, a scan of a 35mm frame gives you a 40 megapixel image, which is more information than is recorded in the film. i like my new scanner. it is badass.

i have a few images up on flickr. i’ve been shooting every weekend, so i’ll be adding more photos every week. share and enjoy. next hit to the bank account: one of these.

speaking of which, vancouver-based flickr is being bought out by yahoo. nice. good to see boys and girls from the home town hit it big.
