Now THIS Is Photography…
I have the pleasure and honour of knowing two very fine photographers who attend the same church as I do: Dave and Quin Cheung, who together make up DQ Studios. I’m constantly impressed by their skills as photographers (and their humility), but it’s rare that I get a chance to see a complete set of their work for a client. They published a photo slideshow of a recent shoot they did of a wedding in Argentina, and the results are beautiful. Their work definitely gives me something to strive for!

Japan 2008: Japan Day 13 & 14
It was almost time to go home by the time we were on day 13 in Japan, so we wanted to make this a special day by going to an aquarium we had read was world-class. We spent a bit of time in the morning walking around the area, which included an animal petting zoo of sorts. After that, we walked over to the Okinawa Kaigan Quasi-National Park, which didn’t seem like much of a park, but it did have a lighthouse that we climbed to the top of. We spent the afternoon at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, where I enjoyed shooting some amazing sea creatures. This was our last day in Japan…then we went home. Quite the adventure!
A Beautiful Calgary October Sunset
On her way home from work, Ashley’s usually able to see the sunset peeking over the horizon line near our house, and it’s not uncommon for her to mention a beautiful sunset happening shortly after she steps into our house. On October the 22nd, the sunset was absolutely stunning – the deep orange hues, including a strong burnt umber colour, was just breathtaking.
Japan 2008: Day 12
Our twelfth day in Japan had us first going to Ryukyu Mura, a historical village where they re-enact what Okinawan life used to be like in the past (I’m guessing 100 years ago, give or take a few decades). It was a colourful, vibrant place, so I snapped quite a few photos. After that, we went back to our hotel for a couple of hours, and then we started our tattoo adventure – which had us going to a beach, an animal shelter, the tattoo studio, and then Tony Roma’s for dinner. It was a very fun day, but by this point we were definitely missing home and looking forward to returning.
