Rene Van Zeventer

I first met Rene while picking up a pair of my girlfriend’s boots. He and his mother were super kind, even though I couldn’t make out much of their Dutch. Luckily they understood me!
Rene was kind enough to let me into his shop to take some photos. The shop has been around for over 30 years. His father was also a cobbler and he’s been in the business for over 20 years. Both their diplomas for clobbering are on the wall. Love family businesses!

iPad owners!

Look how nice the blog looks on the iPad with this new wordpress plug-in:

I love the layout, design and navigation.
Almost wish this was the desktop browser as well… hmmmm. I think I’ll look into that! 🙂

PEI

Have been away for a bit but am back. Here is a diptych from Prince Edward Island, Canada in 2008. I’m standing in the same spot when I shot these two images. One is facing the sea, the other facing land. Love how they line up pretty well together. Enjoy!

Green Clean

Below is a series shot at Avmor, a company specializing in environmentally friendly cleaning products. Paul, shown in the images, was kind enough to show us around and gave a fantastic tour. Ended the tour with some great parting gifts. Best industrial/factory shoot ever! Haha!
The shoot was for “Your Business Magazine” which is a subset of Report on Business Magazine @ The Globe and Mail.

Katie Moore for the Montreal Mirror

Posted on January 28, 2011 | Comments Off

On returning to Montreal for a couple of months, I landed a few shoots.
One of which was a cover shoot with the Montreal Mirror shooting singer/songwriter, Katie Moore (www.katiemoore.ca). She was patient, kind and willing to go with my idea about shooting with animals. I couldn’t find live animals in time (especially hard when the bird she was holding is extinct!), so I found stuffed ones instead…
The Montreal artist has a new album out next week. It’s called Montebello.

SinterKlaas

Posted on December 17, 2010 | Comments Off

Thousands turn up each year for the SinterKlaas parade in Amsterdam. Sinterklaas has had a long standing tradition, here in the Netherlands. Just like back home, during this time of year, we have Santa Clause. Only that some things are very very different…
Anyhoo, my first Sinterklaas experience was weird but the kids were happy at least.
