Brian Garson Photography

A shot from last week with Whitney one of Vireshs newer models, I’ve been shooting a bit more lately, and the spring is coming soon, I actually can’t wait. I bought some new golf clubs that I need to hit. I’ve also spent the past month and a half working on www.wheelsandwax.com a community based website that I run for action sports photographers. I managed to integrate the existing phpBB message board (including the user database) into Joomla and combine it with Coppermine for a Photo Gallery section. Anyways enough geek talk, here’s a photo of Whitney (Make up by Ellie McMillan):

I had my first shoot in the studio 2 weeks ago, since sometime in November. I shot two of Viresh’s models Ioanna and Adrian, we were just going for some simple beauty shots, which was probably a good thing given how rusty I was. This model is Ioanna, and the make up was done by Ellie McMillan. Oh and happy Valentines Day to everyone.

The winter is going by pretty fast and I’ve only spent 2 days out riding so far, hopefully I’ll get more in. I went up to Tremblant yesterday with Howie and Dunn, and got some good riding in (the bar stool also saw a lot of action… funny how that works). I also spent the last two weekends shooting ice sculptures and people carving said ice sculptures for the NCC here in Ottawa, at Winterlude. It was definitely a different type of photography for me, very out of my norm of shooting 10-15 photos and calling it a day. Here’s a photo that I could never get to look right in photoshop, something bout the colours are off.. maybe I should just convert it to black and white.

A pretty infamous set of stairs in Ottawa, I first skated here about 12 years ago, not the steps, but the ledges right behind it. It was great before everything was capped (except the $100 tickets for skating) you could skate the same ledge for 4 or 5 tricks in a row. I don’t even remember when this photo is from other than this passed summer, it’s of Keith doing a backside heelflip down the set, I can’t even remember if he landed it, I’m pretty sure he did. The digital version is even worse than the film.. ugh
