Another friend.

This is a shot of my buddy Rob. We met in high
school and became fast friends. When I moved to
Whistler after high school, Rob did too and we
stayed together for the first couple months. When I
got interested in Fly fishing, I did it with Rob
and we spent days and days on the Birkenhead River tossing
out flies and learning how to fool the
exceptionally wily Birkenhead rainbow trout.
Eventually we knew that river as good as
anyone, and Rob became a guide while I chose
to keep fishing as a hobby.
As much as we did just about everything together, I never followed Rob into the water when he got into scuba diving. He braved the cold BC waters and was even considering doing his dive master. I didn't understand the appeal at all and left it to him. Fast forward 20 years and I'm completely enamored with diving and he must be laughing. He's coming to Maui for the wedding and after all these years I'm finally going to get to dive with my oldest friend. Amazing.
Robbie's dog Sedge was our faithful companion on all our fishing trips and when he finally passed on earlier this year it was a very sad day. He liked to lick trout while you were trying to release them. He thought they were like funny wiggly sticks put on earth just for him to chase. He was a good fishin dog.

Back to the good stuff

My good friend Alex Warburton got married on the
weekend in Victoria. The weather held out for him
on Saturday and it was spectacular. Sunday morning
brought the rains and on the ferry ride home I got
lost in all the great colours and textures of the
boat. It felt like a really good time for a little
photo essay. One of these photos is my favourite.
Can you guess which one?

So my girl is away working in Roatan right now. I'm
missing her and working away. Sold a shot
today to a clothing manufacturer and magazines
have been making their selects and I've been
shipping them out. Life is good, but a big
part of me wants to be in the warm water with
my girl, 80 feet down and looking at
fishes. There have been both Manta Rays and
Hammerheads on the dives in the last week.
Here is a pic of T walking the dog a few days
before she left.
Waiting in the sun = never fun.

My crew for today did a pretty monster drive to get
here and shoot in the sun. Unfortunately they
didn't make it all the way. It's not a perfect day
out there, but it's pretty nice, and I'm waiting.
At least it gives me a little time to work on this
last minute job that came up for this week. There
is quite a bit to get organized in a short period
of time so I'm doing a little scrambling. Well, to
keep you occupied until then, here are some more G9
shots from around the hood last week.
Tinsletown. Watch your step.
The hood. Pretty stoked that I live here.Except that I'm in Whistler.

So…
Where ya been? I haven’t seen you in awhile. Been busy? Happy? Good. Nice to hear. Me? Oh man, so much going on.
I’m moving. Oh you heard. Ya I’m moving back to Canada. No, probably not Whistler. Vancouver. Ya, I have lots of friends there and I haven’t lived there since I was a teenager, so I’m pretty excited about it. I’m loving the city these days. Vancouver is amazing.
I’m getting married too. To T. I know, it’s still really new. Well thanks, I’m stoked too. She proposed just before we drove down to California. No, she’s not here now, in Honduras. I dropped them at LAX and she took Pammy down and taught her to dive. They’re having an awesome time. They saw a frickin sawfish. How is that? I know! I would be too. She’ll be back here at the end of the month. She’s going to help me pack up my stuff.
The mag? Oh it’s doing well, that’s why I feel ok about heading home. I’m showing Crispin Cannon the ropes right now. He has a month to learn how all this works, and then he’s on his own! Ya, I’ll still shoot for FSM, I just want more outside time and less office time. Thanks. That’s nice of you to say. Well ya, we worked really hard on it. Colin is good. Finished his book. He’s shopping it around right now.
Cool, cool. Ok right on. We’ll talk to you soon then. Good to see you…
