This is Alex Coulson. He loves life most days. Today was one of those days I reckon.

This is Tyson Storozinski. I met Tyson while attending film school at Capilano University.

Tyson flew out from Vancouver, British Columbia in order to help with our film.

This photo was shot on set in between takes.

This is Jennifer McKay. She is my mother. I am not sure what she is looking at, or even what she's thinking about. But one thing is for sure, she is doing both.

This man, and his friend, call the streets of Vancouver home. He has raised that bird from birth. With a the flick of his cane the bird ends up on his shoulder, or in this case his head, perched a top the look out tower watching over his friend below. He also has a mouse he keeps tucked in his pocket, he claims he saved it from an attacking python. But you know what, I believe him. There was something very humbling spending a few minutes talking to this man. I want to know more. What's his story?

This is a very very very newlywed couple. Fuck tradition, smiling is for the weak.

This is Martin Cloutier, he spent the vast majority of his life driving truck on the dangerous roads of Northern Ontario, Canada.

Martin, heard of an open casting call in on the radio while driving through Timmins. He got the part and was recently one of the stars of my first feature length film.

This is Tora. She has appeared in my photographs before. She is simply one of the greatest people I have ever met in my life. Love her.

This is Drew Ott. We met on the internet, one of those online dating sites for camera nerds who like to argue about bitrate and color sampling. Drew is an American, but we won't hold it against him. This was shot on a Canon 5D Mark 2 with a Nikon 50mm F1.2, ya, what, we don't even care.

This is Alex Coulson. He is the co-writer and director of my first feature film. This was taken immediately after the camera this very photo was shot on, was dropped off the roof of a car while filming.

As it turns out, the camera and the lens still function beautifully.

This is Cameron Walker. I also met Cam at filmschool. This too was at a wrap party for a short film I shot. And yes that is a real knife.

This is Alex Davis. I am not quite sure what he was looking at, but damn was he ever looking.

This is Robert Paulsen. On most days he goes by the name Taylor Coulson, but tonight, oh tonight, he was slaying as Mr. Paulsen. This man didn't give 2 fucks.

This is Annalise Stuart. She is a producer of the motion pictures. She lives in Vancouver, B.C but has recently spent the last 4 months in the depths of Northern, Ontario. This was the result.

This is Neil Bahadur. I met Neil at filmschool. This was a wrap party for a short film I shot for director, Oscar Alemengor, entitled, The Shadow.

This is Nathan Attridge.

This was shot on an iphone 3gs on the streets of Vancouver.

This is Owen. He is a champ. He somehow completely understands what it means to be in front of a camera. Not bad for 2.

This is Dave Bigeau and his wife Christine Lacombe. One of the most laid back weddings I have ever had the privilege of shooting.

This is Rhyan James. He is sitting in front of what appears to be Nic Cage. Boy doesn't he look foolish.

This is Tay, I mean. This is Robert Paulsen. Every now and then he shows up for a photo or 2. This is what happens when you let him eat cake.
