I may not look as shredded as Francis, but I’m going to try to be by this summer. This image is from a shoot with the trainers at West Coast Fitness.

You can start on your own shredded abs by signing up with West Coast Fitness for their next 8 week fitness challenge. You will get kitted out with all sorts of information, freebies and guaranteed results.

Just a few more days til Christmas. This holiday season consider directly supporting someone in need in your own city. Read more about the Hope In Shadows calendar vendor program.

Though I didn’t participate in Movember this year, here is my salute to all the lads who, for the last thirty days, have been walking, talking billboards for raising funds and awareness while  prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.

It’s time to update those holiday portraits! What better way to do it than with some Santa hats, ‘adult’ egg nog and some really great peeps?

For a fun afternoon I’ll have for you:

A photo booth!

A tickle trunk of Xmas related stuff!

Boozy egg nog!

and the groovy mixings of DJ Steve-O!

Come on by in your worst Christmas sweater, wear a red shirt or dress like a reindeer; just come looking all Christmas-y.

The high resolution files will be posted for you pronto-quicko. In time to print’em up and mail’em out to friends and family!

In the spirit of giving, please bring a non-perishable food item to be donated to the Vancouver Food Bank Society. They are currently in need of canned meat and fish, whole wheat pasta and rice as well as canned fruits and vegetables. Otherwise a cash donation jar will be available.

None of my professors in University ever seemed very jet-set. But Kris Sigurdson is being featured in Science & Avenir magazine and I was fortunate to catch him for this shoot just before he caught a flight for a meeting with NASA. He literally squeezed this shoot in while picking up his dry-cleaning for the trip.

Hanna is one of those unique people who found themselves creating their own jobs as they go. As a result of the Museum Of Vancouver‘s visioning project to move away from old stuff behind glass to a contemporary space, Hanna has been working for the last year to engage Vancouverites directly with interactive, cross-disciplinary exhibits designed to get people talking. Here she is at intermission during the Interesting Vancouver event.

Working with actors can be a lot of fun when they don’t take themselves seriously. This is funny beauty is actor Alex Essoe.
