Doug Hoyer Album Cover

I took this photo a couple of weeks ago for my friend Doug Hoyer, who is a singer/songwriter based out of Edmonton. The original shots are for his album cover, but I was also really satisfied with this crop, so I thought I would put it up.

Musicians are some of my favorite people to photograph, especially in a promotional setting. You should check out Doug's music at http://www.myspace.com/doughoyer . His stuff is definitely worth a listen.

I should also mention we travelled to Germany together in the summer of 2006; he was playing keyboards for my own band, the Blazing Violets.

Light

Here is my critique submission for this week. I had to centre around the theme of "light."

"Life's a Bitch"

Really. Don't pick up the soap.
Special thanks to Ian Vaydik and Mendel Perkins for posing for this.
I won't mention who is who.

Women's Provincial Curling Finals in Wainwright

Photos by Codie McLachlan / Edmonton Journal

I spent my Sunday in Wainwright shooting the women's provincial finals in curling. The weather was hellish, and the drive back was horrifying!

It begins.

So I have decided to start keeping a blog. I tried this once before, and I must admit, I was quite successful at keeping it maintained for a while... but I eventually forgot about it and stopped posting.

I intend to try keep this one updated at least fairly frequently. The idea behind it is to show photos that I've taken that I am particularly proud of (I am a photographer, in case you haven't read the "About Me" part at the top of the page), but I'll probably go off on rants and such occasionally.

You have been warned.
