Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

The 27th Street Theatre Co. Presents Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Directed by Lana O'Brien.  

I was at W.L. Seaton Secondary on Friday shooting the last dress rehearsal of the play and was in complete awe. I had such a great time, laughing out load and singing along to some of Andrew Lloyd Webber's catchy tunes from the sixties. There is some solid talent in this cast and the dancing and vocals were super cool. If you are looking for a way to lighten your mood or to have a good ol' time for a couple hours, this show is a must see. Check the poster below for more information.

Okanagan Health and Wellness Magazine - Spring Cover

Leanne and Maureen from Okanagan Health and Wellness called me back for another cover shoot , this time for the spring edition. I met the channel swimmers at the H2O Adventure + Fitness Centre in Kelowna. We only had brief time slot at the pool for the cover shot. Admittedly things got a bit shaky with me standing on the three metre diving board and having lights rigged up with water splashing around us. A quick couple of minutes on the diving board and someone called: "It's a wrap" as we had to give up the pool to the next group of swimmers. Thanks to Tracey, Mike, Phread, Leora and Denise for being good sports. I got a chance to meet them all for portraits before the group shot and I wish them the best of luck on the English Channel this summer. We will be shooting the the summer cover in the near future and I am certainly looking forward to it.

One Night in Summerland

It is amazing how much you can explore in 24 hours. Our son was teaching at the Shakespeare Festival in Summerland over the weekend so we decided to drive down from Vernon last week to see him for a few hours before he started at the Festival. We have been to Summerland many times for soccer or for the Shakespeare Festival but have never stayed there. We stayed at an affordable but clean and pleasant motel. Drove down the scenic Matsu Drive. We had amazing coffees and fresh baked croissants and baguette at the wonderful bakery on Main Street. We also spent a few hours in Penticton where lunch is always at hit at the Dream Cafe. The weather has been tropical here for the past week. High twenties to low thirties with sun every day. Mark my word. It's always nice to get away, even if its only for a day. 

Soccer - Seaton vs. PVSS

It was a perfect afternoon for a high school soccer game yesterday. 19 degrees and overcast, my favourite conditions to photograph soccer. We went out to the beautiful field at Pleasant Valley Senior Secondary in Armstong. W.L. Seaton from Vernon won the game 5-2 in an action packed game. I have included a shot of the ref today. Kudos to him as he kept his cool. One our players didn't agree on an off side call and uttered: "No way Jose"!, and the ref just repeated it with a huge grin on his face, "No way Jose"?
