A shift to my animation career for a change. Here is my interview with Guyswithpencils.
Adam Murray and Andrew Hines are fresh from Sheridan College’s animation program and have been recording a diverse collection of interviews with those making their living in the animation and comic book industry. Already a great resource for those new to the industry this will over time become an incredible historic documentation or many (relatively) unknown people behind much of the work being done in the industry.

The official webpage for this workshop will be up shortly, but here are some details of the workshop being run by myself and Louis Au. G Adventures will be handling our logistics.
Fall 2012 Workshop Details
Few regions of the world can captivate a photographer like Bhutan. Nestled in the mountains, this Himalayan Kingdom has retained much of its charm through its preservation of culture, heritage, dress and folklore.
Religious Festivals are held throughout the year, revolving around the Tibetan Calendar. This workshop is an opportunity to witness and document two local sacred festivals, plus the National Thimpu Teschu in all its grandeur. Colour, dance, and music will be on display.
This workshop is designed to be both active and fun. Both Louis Au and Paul A. Teolis will be alongside providing daily instructions to help hone technical precision and push one’s creative skills in an exotic environment that will offer multiple opportunities to focus on individual photographic themes. Digital post-production sessions will also be held to aid participants to take control of the digital capture workflow. This workshop is designed for photographers of all levels.
UPDATE: We are rolling now, here is the workshop –> Itinerary

Happy to finally have my new website launched, courtesy of fluidgalleries. I have long been a fan of this Canadian software and welcome the move to an HTML5 site that is now viewable for mobile users. Some updates will still be taking place, but the Galapagos gallery is finally available.
so without further adieu, fieldandscreen.com
A long awaited revamp of my current photography website is in the works and I am upgrading to the new version of software from Fluidgalleries. My current website was designed using their old software and I am looking forward to moving away from a flash based site to HTML5 which now be viewable on ipads and iphones.
Expect it to be up and running at the end of august.

With travel brochure season rolling out at Gap Adventures, their website and shelves are chock-full of new destinations and most important — great photography! Although the Antarctica brochure doesn’t hit the street until January 2011, nice to see some of the photos I shot for them popping up on the pages in the South America and Earth brochures.
And we’re off…to Peru that it!
Excited to announce that I have teamed with Louis Au from Masterfile and will be launching our first travel workshop in 2011, our destination, Peru.
Besides travelling and photographing in the Peru, we will be helping photographers improve their creative and technical skills concentrating on shooting and workflow methods when in the field.
