Just out of interest, if you check out the “Scrapbook” page of this year’s (2008) fringe festival, one of my pics of Claire and Lola made it into the website.

I have some other photos there as well, but you can view those as you see fit.

So you are aware… with my role at the Fringe wrapping, I thought I’d dive head first into yet another photography project. Yes, it’s that time again. With Claire’s eleven-month birthday just yesterday I began a new daily photo campaign that can be located in the cool confines of my gallery; click [...]

I know I mentioned that I’d be uber-posting episodes from the novella here this week, but I’ve needed to re-evaluate that particular goal due to some random distractions, inconveniences, and other personal reasons. I’ll try and get at least a couple up before the week is out, but realistically the one-a-day thing is now [...]

In follow up to the Short Story Roundup from late last week… As FRINGE WEEK approaches and I split my time between a waft of insane volunteering and a smattering of R&R, I thought I’d toss out another self-mutilating challenge towards my novella project, particularly considering I’ve been lax the last couple weeks with [...]

I’ve been working in the background putting together a collection of essays for a little — for lack of a better word — webzine I’m creating. Yes, yet another writing project — but we talked about that already, didn’t we? The concept is simple: seven essays on seven topics revolving around one theme that [...]

If you don’t think contemplation on a new lens is appropriate topic for this blog, you haven’t been reading me long enough. Recently, every single one of those pretty pictures you see posted here comes through one of my three lenses. And, alas, the more one works with better-than-average, (but still below-pro) [...]

As I’ve mentioned here numerous times in the last couple weeks I spent a few evenings at the Edmonton Fringe Festival as a member of the Multimedia Team. This role is basically a casual ticket to wander the grounds and complete photo assignments, snapping pictures of other volunteers doing their jobs, performers on the [...]

SHED
Aces up! The weather held out this evening (for a little while) and I managed to get three walls of the shed installed. If all goes well, there might actually be a roof sometime tomorrow afternoon.
FRINGE
Shift three is tomorrow. If anyone is thinking of stopping by the main event at all, tomorrow might [...]

It’s late.
It’s been a very long day.
I just spent the evening at the Fringe, once again.
This is all you’re getting today.
Sorry.

I’d write more (rather than out of sheer guilty obligation) but I spent the evening at the Fringe festival taking photos and I’m really quite tired. One shift down, three to go…
And of course, you probably already know the “fringe rules” regarding photos. I can’t post ‘em. I can’t share [...]

It’s that time of year again. I spent the evening at a volunteer orientation for the Fringe, rehashing the procedures and getting my four shifts of photographing assignments. It’s a great opportunity because:

I (literally) get a press pass to take public photos at an event with international prestige and attendance.
I get solid critique [...]

My baby sister is taking my place as volunteer extraordinaire and is basically Queen Organizer for the Relay For Life in Red Deer this year. How can you not respect that? I put my money where my my mouth is and gave her fifty bucks. It’s for a good cause, after all. [...]
