Here’s a little rundown of What I’ve Been Up to<\/strong> in the last few months… Since Instagram<\/a><\/strong> has pretty much knocked my iPhone Photo Dump series<\/a><\/strong> out of commission, I want to bring back some form of a journal… Something I can look back at to see what I was doing and\/or working on at that time. I shoot a ton of (resource) photos every month and barely any of them see the light of day, so I want to share more of them.<\/p>\n

Vancouver Aquarium Expansion Grand Opening<\/h2>\n

Katie and I went to the Vancouver Aquarium’s expansion grand opening party the night before we left for California. The new entrance with the high-tech 360\u00b0 wrap-around video screens is pretty wild; all the new stuff looks great. We also took in the Planet Earth: Shallow Seas 4-D Experience, which is very well done. I won’t spoil how awesome the 4-D experience is, but I will say it’s better than the ‘Bugs Life’ one at Disneyland.<\/p>\n

California Trip<\/h2>\n

A good friend of mine was getting married in LA in early June, so we flew down for that and extended our stay for a much-needed vacation. We hung out in Venice Beach, stopped for half a day to photograph an interior design job I did at Windset Farm’s Santa Maria office<\/a><\/strong> and massive greenhouse facility. From there we drove up the coast through Big Sur and then flew home from San Francisco… An amazing trip, and you can see more about the trip here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Speaking of work, I’ve been busy adding projects to my portfolio \u2013 some of these have been finished for a little while, and maybe you’ve already seen some of these things on the shelves of your local grocery store.<\/p>\n
