and a new HDR photograph. This was taken at 7:40pm along the Middle Arm of the Fraser River in Richmond BC, on the Middle Arm Greenway. The structure in the photograph is the UBC Lecky Boathouse – a community and semi-private rowing facility along the Middle Arm.
This unique structure is a facility that provides training opportunities for the University of British Columbia [UBC] Rowing Team outside of Vancouver and community water/rowing programs for Richmond residents of all ages. Enjoy the eyecandy…

on reknown fiber artist Janet Echelman’s website!
I recently shot the Water Sky Garden public art environment for Janet Echelman before the Olympics began. I got permission to go behind the security perimeter at the Richmond Olympic Oval and took photos of the new lighting configuration for artwork over a 2 hour period from early sunset to dusk.
Some of the photos are spectacular if I do say so myself LOL… but really, it’s so cool having my photography out there on such a high profile artist’s site!
Her piece at the Oval is wonderful. It is kinetic [undulating gently in the wind and smallest breeze] and vibrant [the gradient netting is fabulous with it's vivid red colour palette], so it really is a joy to photograph. BUT, I have to confess… I do prefer shooting it at night when the nighttime lighting makes the piece come to life. The re-positioned lighting illuminates the curves of the structure and the texture / colour of the netting, enhancing the gentle curves of both the net armature/rings and the nets themselves. Wonderful!
Here is one of my favorites from the evening shoot…

I’m working on new directions for my artwork… alot of the style will be in the same vein, but a more vintage, Audrey Hepburn treatment is coming down the pipe. Also, I’m working alot more with my botanical altered photography and combining them in collage-style artworks…
BUT while recently experimenting with my new iMac iMovie feature, I put together a quick video of some of my favorite artworks from late 2008 into the end of 2009. I thought I would share and hopefully you can enjoy some afternoon eyecandy! To see more artwork from the previous years, please visit my art website at: www.paperwerxings.com

Family Photo Shoot
Posted by admin in Where in the world am I?, photography on December 5th, 2009
Spent some time with a co-worker and friend’s family in Steveston taking family shots yesterday. GREAT weather… a little cold, but sunny and bright. Makes for challenging lighting conditions, but overall I think the shots of the kiddies turned out fun…
