BBQ Goodness

My sister and brother-in-law dropped by Monday night for a quick BBQ. They brought salmon, which I wanted to plank BBQ like this. But we were running out of time. So I whipped up a marinade and grilled the salmon on the open grill with some cherry wood smoke ("it's the wood that makes it good") - do the flesh side first then flip and do the skin side last.

For those that want to try, here are the ingredients:

fresh lime juice
garlic
dijon mustard
sea salt
fresh cracked black pepper
olive oil
honey
paprika

Side dish? how about Marsala wine mushrooms, so nice.

Sorry for the lack of photos - we were in such a rush.

Cheers.

Tom Cochrane

This weekend we had the pleasure of hosting Tom Cochrane at our Summer In The City festival Saturday night. What a great show! Tom Cochrane really rocked the house! and it was great to relive my youth to some of his songs.

I was one of the photographers for the weekend, so enjoy some images from the show by clicking here.

If you were one of the bands or artists that were preforming please sign up here to view and order any images from your shows. We'll also throw a few up on facebook, so keep a look out for that.

Cheers,

Here's a highlight video for you guys, hope you enjoy it.

Leanne + Kevin

Leanne and Kevin had a great "little" country wedding last weekend. I say little because they had about 400 guests at the reception - certainly one of the larger ones. What I love was the ceremony in a little country church in Sarto.

We headed the city to do some photos at the Leg and came back to Friedensfeld Hall for the party, and what a party.

Thank you guys for letting me be a part of you day and thank you and your families for their wonderful hospitality and generosity.

If you're friends or family of Leanne and Kevin and wish to see ALL of their photos, CLICK HERE to be notified when their online gallery is launched!

Great rings, love them.

Getting ready in the morning.

My favorite little flower girl, here's how she rolls.

Time of Healing

I know, I know. I haven't been blogging for a long time. It's been too long, but I've been busy with other projects and developments in life.

Last weekend in stead of shooting a wedding I did something a little different. I headed down to our local park with camera in hand and photographed the Relay for Life. It's a wonderful event where cancer survivors and people whose lives are touched by cancer come together to walk all night along a lit path of candle light, raising money for cancer research. I missed last year, so I didn't know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised when I found the park full of tents, campers and RV's, to the tune of 700 people. There were a record 65 teams of walkers, 160 survivors and a grand total of $165000 was raised.
I was shooting for myself, just covering the event, taking photos that I felt would be different than the local press. Here are a few of my favorite.

Doing a Low German version of Blue Suede Shoes, man that was funny!

Many of our local bands played none stop till 1:30 am.

I think the evening could be best summed up by a woman that I overheard as we walked along the thousands of candles that proclaimed people's hurt and triumph. She was helped along by her friends, her scarf and yellow tee shirt showing she was a survivor. "I'm glad I came, for the first time I felt like I belong - that I'm not alone, that I'm part of something so much bigger".

It hit home. See, I'm a survivor too - although both my parents aren't....
