New meaning is far too broad of a topic to write about so instead I will leave you with this photo. Perhaps it means something different to you than it does to me? I took this photo from the street (you can see the chainlink fence this was shot through, blurred out) on the way […]

mists of the night
This is a well known landmark in Victoria, Mt. Tolmie, backlit with some mists over the University of Victoria in the background. Taken from my deck downtown, this is facing north-east. 300MM (480MM film equivalent), aperture: F5.6, shutter: 1/8, ISO3200. I think I shot this hand-held, but I can’t remember for sure. I have pretty […]
bergamot studios launch
It’s been over a year since we settled on a name for our photography business. Since then we have done a lot of shooting, setting up the business on the administrative side, collaborated on a logo and also made a website design. The website itself is powered by the content management system I work on […]
counter confidence
What you feel when you see a logo can vary quite a bit depending on how it was made, but what you feel when you actually know the organization behind that identity usually has everything to do with how they behave in their day-to-day activities, and beyond – such as community involvement. There is some […]
a new challenge
Working full time and going to school at night means I have time to blog at .. midnight! And so it is midnight. Here are some of the things that have been catching my eye: Whitehouse.gov has been redone, complete with a blog and RSS feed. It’s still sinking in that there is a new […]
winter snow
Photos through December in Vancouver and Victoria. I installed Picasa for OS X tonight to give it a whirl. It is a thing of beauty – when it comes to photo management, I have not used anything quite as good as Picasa. I also have iPhoto which is really good. Picasa interacts with iPhoto in […]
getting a grip
Night classes do not start until Wednesday again for me, but that doesn’t mean that learning has not yet started. In lieu of a textbook for a fourth year business class on Project Management, we are required to join the Project Management Institute as members in the Vancouver Island chapter. This is an interesting approach […]
favourite photos of 2008
Ever notice that quite a few publications will post their “best of 2008” before the year is even over? I am not so much of a fan of that as, in my opinion, reflection needs at least a little bit of distance. So now that 2008 has been over for a few days, I am […]

switching from godaddy to dreamhost
Last weekend I switched this website’s hosting from Godaddy to Dreamhost. My reasons for doing so were: Godaddy’s connectivity was extremely dodgy – it would disconnect frequently during important file transfers Godaddy’s hosting service was excruciatingly slow – posting a comment on this website was taking way longer than it should have Godaddy does not […]
