Mega Photoshoot

This photoshoot was actually done on August 1st but it's been a busy couple of weeks that I haven't posted it.

This time around instead of shooting a single car we had a total of 5 cars all together. Unfortunately we ran out of daylight and the weather starting to act up that we weren't able to get to the other locations we had planned. So...expect a Part 2 to this!

Drake - Best I Ever Had (Spoof)

Haven't posted anything in a while just been busy but I saw this and just had to post it. Let the roast begin...



The hand oscillations are the best. I almost thought it was actually Drake for a minute.

Kid CuDi ft. Kanye West & Common - Make Her Say (Poke Her Face)

Another one by the "Good Music" crew. I'm sure you've heard this song so here's a visual interpretation.
For those who haven't heard it, you have to have heard Lady GaGa's "Poker Face" song. Well this is a parody of that. Great track and with Common hardly releasing music it's good to see him in this.

Jay Sean ft. Lil Wayne - Down

Jay Sean has been around for years, blending Indian instrumentals and lyrics alongside hip-hop and rnb. Pretty decent artist with some good songs. This song although not great has Lil Wayne in it which means Jay Sean must be doing good for himself.

Looks like I can't embed it so here's the link...

Attention Deficit Release Date?

So for those that don't know Wale is a rapper out of the Washington area who has caused quite the uproar on his way up with his interesting go-go styled music.

Everyone is anxiously waiting for his album release date and it seems like there is a date set for September 22nd of this year. Although he doesn't say it specifically in this video there is buzz around the net that it's the correct date.

Personally I can't wait, Wale teamed up with a few other hot artists and producers which should make this an incredible album. Stay tuned!

Drake - Best I Ever Had Music Video

WTF :o



A little explanation of the video

Makes a little sense but what a direction change from the songs words. Mr.West had a little too much fun with this one I think.

Honda Civic EP3

Since the official first day of summer has passed (June 21st) we have had some great weather, with the exception of today. I was invited out to shoot a friends car only to find that the weather took a turn from summer to winter. It was windy and cold and luckily when we decided to call it a day rain drops began falling otherwise we would have had to wrap it up early.

Anyways here's some shots of an awesome car that was recently featured in the mag "Honda Tuning" (July 2009 Issue)

Enjoy :D

Michael Jackson Tribute Song

Nice little colab by a few great artists...



It's truly amazing to think that 1 single person made a difference in billions of peoples of lives through the power of music.

Transformers 2:Rise of the Fallen

Just saw this movie last night in the IMax theater at Chinook Mall in Calgary and I have to say that it wasn't very good. There was just way too much action, and yes there can be too much action in a movie. Watching this in Imax probably didn't help because half the time I couldn't tell what was going on even though I was moving my head left and right to see all the action. The storyline was pretty lame too and the whole movie could have taken place in the last hour of the movie and made the same amount of sense. The twin bots weren't that funny, however John Turturro(Agent Simmons) brought the most comedy to the movie and I did laugh a few times.

The movie is 150 minutes long (2 1/2 hours) which I thought was extremely long comparing to the first one which was only 6 minutes shorter but went by much quicker.

Overall movie was more action than story and I'd have to say the only good part about seeing it on the big screen was the details and sheer size of Megan Fox :o

Michael Jackson Dies at Age 50!

Just coming down the wire from multiple sources that it is now confirmed that Michael Jackson as passed away.

R.I.P. to the king of pop.

Kinda Like A Big Deal

"It's a blessing, to blow a hundred thou in a recession"

Great track, but the video is just so uncreative...

Wale - Back To The Feature Mixtape

My favorite artists latest mixtape is finally out. Was so busy over the weekend that I haven't been able to post or even listen to this yet but here it is up for download for all.

Download, listen, comment.
I know it's going to be great!

"2012" The End of The World?

This movie looks insanely good, from the maker of Independence Day. Too bad Will Smith isn't in this, but I think John Cusack will do a fine job. Amazing special effects and CGI = good movie.

On another note does anybody believe in all the oracles that say the world will come to end on such and such date?

Driven 2009 Photos

Well as mentioned earlier Driven 2009 has come, and gone. Another great year of cars and models and good times to be had by all.
Didn't get a whole lot of pictures of all the cars around the place as the main focus was on the beyond.ca booth which one the Best Team Represent trophy!

Also I had the pleasure of shooting the beautiful Mercedes Terrell :D

The pics should tell the rest of the story, enjoy!

Penguins Claim Victory

I know this is old news but I had a busy weekend and unfortunately I didn't get to see the game so I had no inspiration to post this up.
As the title of this post states, the Pittsburgh Penguins took home this years Stanley Cup with a 2-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings.
According to a link on nhl.com game 7 was the most-watched NHL game in 36 years. I'm sure alot of people's money was riding on this game hence the large number or viewers.

This is recent news although a little old...375000 people showed up for the victory parade. Wow!

2009 Stanley Cup Final

If you're Canadian you should be all over this like butter on bread. The 2009 Stanley Cup final between Detroit(home) and Pittsburgh(away) game 7 goes down tonight at 8pm EST. Most people I have talked to have said that the Red Wings are going to clean house like last year and that this game is pretty much a done deal, but as the famous saying goes, It's not over until the fat lady sings comes to mind.

The Penguins have put up a good fight this series and aren't giving up just yet but all odds are stacked against them. I'm all for Detroit winning and I'm positive they will take the cup home again this year, but if I knew for sure I would be rich, and I'm not.

Here's a link showing a bunch of stats regarding game 7, some actually quite interesting!

2009 Stanley Cup Stats

Have fun watching the game and remember don't drink and drive!

Kanye West + Lady GaGa Tour

A weird co-op of artists but this is a pure money making tour. Take 1 part Kanye West, one of the worlds biggest stars, and add 1 Part Lady GaGa another world-wide pop star and you get an explosive number of fans out there spending outrageous amounts of money on pre-sale tickets as well as re-sale tickets.

Now some of you may be thinking that Lady GaGa will be opening up for Kanye or vise-versa but according to Kanye it's a collaboration tour. Suprising yes but at the same time why not? Both artists are larger than life right now and to get together and tour just makes it all the better.

No further details yet but expect more info down the wire in the near future.

Apple to take over world in 2012!

Not quite as the title states but they seem to hit it off with every update and technological release.
If you don't already know Apple released some news yesterday at the WSDC in San Fransisco. I won't go into details since you can see everything new at www.apple.ca.

In all honesty Apple products aren't that great but what makes their products sell is the simplicity to everything from the design to usage. I myself never thought I would buy any apple product aside from the IPod but last year I took the leap and bought a Macbook Pro and so far I'm loving it.

When comparing the IPhone to other smart phones on the market, the IPhone kills in looks. Everyone has a personal preference but having sales of something like 37 million for the IPhone and IPod Touch speaks for itself. So join the bandwagon and buy some Apple stuff because the more followers they have the better technology we will get in the future, both from Apple and competitors.

Here's a few pictures of concept IPhones. Some of these look really sleek and would love to see Apple release a newly designed IPhone in the coming future.

Finally Summer?

With the official first day of summer just around the corner (June 21st), the weather here in Calgary still seems to be winterish. Having had 2 straight nights of frost warnings puts more of a chill into me then sipping on a slurpee in the heat.

With that said, we have had a couple nice days in the week prior and later on I think we are going to see some record setting temperatures this summer.

Here's a couple of shoots that have been done in the past couple weeks of friends cars. Expect more as the air warms up and the sun doesn't fade until late!
