Alley Party // Personal
Most unplanned things usually end up with awesomeness.
I read on twitter that the Theater Junction was going to have a party in an alley and by the vague descriptions of the event just about everywhere on the net, it looked like it would be a lot of older people drinking wine talking about how great that painting was or wasn’t.
As other plans had fallen through I decided to venture out to the core in search of this boring event. Not that there is anything wrong with art galleries, simply they are just not my crowd.
I turned into this alley and I was met by a DJ spinning awesome tunes and a good crowd. Did I mention the really cheap beer? It was a happening event. It was a well planned event with a huge success.
The music and the drinks were provided by the HiFi Club, where they held an “after party”.
I shot over 700 frames and had a good time. I made this 4min video with 540+ shots of the event. Enjoy.
PS: Fabi’s shots from above are here.
***UPDATE: Now I know who these guys are and how amazing they are. They are from the House of Dangerkat and their link is here.

Astral // Personal
I remember when I was a kid, my dad took me to watch a meteor shower somewhere outside Bogota. I can’t remember seeing any meteors but something that always stays in mind are the thousands of stars that are visible when you drive away from a huge metropolis.
A few weeks back we had what was supposed to be a big one, one for the records. It was called Perseids and we went out to the Rothney Observatory to watch it. 3 hours later I caught one with my camera, I guess just pointing at the right part of the sky at the right time.
I was clever enough to leave my house with shorts and a t-shirt without realizing that in this almost Nordic place of the earth the temperature drops quite drastically at night. It was just my luck that one of the astrophysicist that run the place, had a big winter coat that I was able to use and be more confortable than having taken one of my own.
The observatory held an open house last week but unfortunately I was not able to attend. Its located fairly close to the city and they host a variety of events well worth checking out.
Big Rock // Personal
I ventured out with Sarah P to Okotoks, Black Diamond and Turner Valley.
Our first stop was the old towne of Okotoks and the Okotoks Heritage House:
We were guided by the person working at the Heritage House to go to the Big Rock. I had never heard of it. There, we met a couple of girls (I didnt ask for their names, they were way high!) from Ontario taking shots of themselves while climbing, I told them I got some shots of them and left them my card on their windshield. So here they go guys! **Now I wish I would’ve gotten closer! Maybe next time!
Then I told Sarah to jump in between the two huge rocks! This was the result.
We went to the Old Gas Plant in Black Dimond, too bad it was closed. We tried to break in, with no luck. It made for some awesome texture shots.
Southern Alberta// Hdr
Stormy weather makes for awesome hdr images of the clouds. These were taking somewhere within 5-10 KM south of 22x and Macleod. I can pin point exactly where. 
Calgary Show and Shine // Personal
This time, Gary, Barry and I headed out to the Annual Show and Shine, it is partly sponsored by Calgary Transit as it happens on its North Bus depot. 
Here is Barry on “photographer” mode.
After trying to find something to do, Gary and I decided to head over to the A & W right across from Chinook mall. We were given a flier telling us that the new location as at Deerfoot Mall. While deciding what to do, a pair of Evo X showed up and parked near where we were. I had to get out and check them out, after all they are the new brothers to the AWD DSM. These were my favorite shots.
