Craziness

I'm sorry for the lack of posts as of late on the blog. I've had a pretty crazy past week with some personal stuff and I haven't been able to blog. This past week my dog Archie had to be put down. I know some people who don't have pets don't quite understand how people like me can get upset about stuff like this but he was like a member of my family. He had an incredible life and was 14 1/2 years old. Rest in peace buddy

Christmas

So I'm looking at my calendar and it's only 3 days until 2010... 3 DAYS!?! Where did the time go? I trust you had a wonderful Christmas season. Mine was full of fellowship with friends and family and some amazing memories. I pretty much become a 10 year old around Christmas time. I inform everyone I come in contact with how many days are left until Christmas, I insist on watching every Christmas movie there is, and I love going downtown to see Christmas lights and do some shopping. I'm always a little down when the season is over, but I'm so excited for the new year. 2010 holds a lot of exciting stuff for Hello Tomorrow. Below is a glimpse of my Christmas with the family. I received a new lens for Christmas so I snapped a quick couple of photos. I'll be posting a new montage soon with my new lens for the Canon 7D. currently jamming to... The New Year - Death Cab For Cutie

PS If you haven't already seen Jason Reitman's new movie "Up In The Air" go see it!

Joshua and Bonny Jo

As I mentioned in the last blog post, I received my film school education this last year at Vancouver Film School. I met a lot of great people and made some life long friendships. One of the guys I was closest with over the year was Joshua. We had a chance to work on a ton of film projects together and had a lot of fun hanging out. Joshua came to Vancouver all the way from Texas and before he left Texas he got engaged to his beautiful fiance Bonny Jo. I had the pleasure of meeting Bonny when she came to visit Joshua. I couldn't believe how similar these two were. Seriously... incredibly similar. They'd laugh at the same jokes, finish each others sentences, and even used the same slang. Over my year with Joshua, we toyed around with the idea of me coming out to his wedding next april. We talked about it lightly for a while but as the year went on we decided to make it happen. So next april I'm flying out to film Joshua and Bonny's wedding and I couldn't be more pumped! Recently they went out with their photographer and did an engagement shoot. They have some really awesome pictures by the wonderful Tara Swain. Below are a couple of photos but see the rest of them on her blog here.
