Karie Young and Robbie King Memorial Tournament - Vancouver BC Based Photographer

A year after I graduated from high school a girl I knew passed away in a car accident in which her boyfriend at the time barely survived. She was one of those kind girls who was friends with everyone and always had a great smile on her face.  She was also big into soccer so as a way to keep her memory alive and to raise some money for charity her friends started an annual soccer tournament in 1993 named in her honor.  Some years passed and "Robbie King's" name was added to the tournament after he lost his life in the same way.  Much of the success of this tournament is from the hard work of Jennifer Newman and Gary Kilby.

Sunshine?

Just a little reminder that we do sometimes see the sun in Vancouver.

Westbeach

Last night was the book launch for the Westbeach book “Out West” written by my friend Dano Pendygrasse. We met back in Whistler in the 91/92 winter season where I worked at the photo lab during the day at Tommy Africa’s at night. I crossed paths with a lot of amazing photographers in the day and with all the menacing snowboarders at night. I was so excited that a picture I took back in 1992 made the book and it’s the first time I have been published.
