I thought the number of monitors was amusing considering that, for my other job, it looks like:

its like the analog equivalent of having a multi-monitor setup :)

Above you see the girls practicing for the number "Beautiful Girls" in Singin' in the Rain. There is an overhead camera pointed down on the circle and the video is projected onto a screen that is used for other effects during the show. Unfortunately I never got to see what that image looks like, since after the show is put together us orchestra members will be confined to the pit underneath the stage...

This Spot Near UBC.... 2009-12-25

I've been eying this spot on SW Marine Drive on every bus ride home from UBC for the past few weeks. On reasonably clear winter evenings, the colours in the sky and water is absolutely amazing. On the bus you can see this for about 2 seconds and after each glimpse, I think to myself that its definitely worthwhile to make a trip for it some day. That day ended up being Christmas Day, 2009.

Diva video shoot 2010-12-14

We booked a studio on Granville Island for two days to do a video shoot for the DiVA project. Once the system is up and running (and stable), there wasn't much to do except look for photo opportunities. Thanks Cam for letting me use his D50.
