So, we're getting a new puppy! We've been hanging out with Bruce, Natasha and their litter of 12 puppies over the last 2 weeks, and we have chosen our newest little baby. The Gibbons clan gets bigger! (and crazier) Many more photos/ videos to come...

Justin Carlson took me along to shoot on our matching 5D MKIIIs yesterday, it was a great shoot and dealt with mental health. I grew up in a house with an Uncle that was schizophrenic, he was so ill that he eventually succumbed to the disease. Needless to say this topic is very important to me, and it was an honour to see doctors dealing with mental illness in general and the new techniques they are using to help people.
On a lighter note, Justin usually just gets me along so he can get his lighting setups perfect, and capture rogue images of me when I'm not prepared (no I wasn't texting on the job, I was researching a camera issue!)
Thanks for taking me on the shoot Justin, it really meant a lot to me. It was tough but wonderful to have one of the most important men in my life, Uncle Doug on my mind and heart throughout the day.

I got to do the music for this little video promo for Five Hole for Food's hockey campaign to raise awareness for the Food Bank across North America. The video was shot by Andrew Nguyen and features some recognizable Canadian faces!
This was a very special June, my brother Darren and I got to take our boys on their first annual guys fishin' trip! Luca (mine) is 5, and Hayden is 7, and they both caught fish (and won a trophy). It was an amazing weekend up at Oyama Lake Resort. We have some amazing extended family, and the boys got to hang out with all of them! Fish were caught, beers were consumed, stogies were smoked. Everyone had a blast. Check more photos here.
It's been a busy 2 weeks, started the Digital Recording course again, but it's a concentrated 6 week course this time around. I'm able to do the one on one time with the students for the first time in 5 years and it's been a blast.
Working on a tune with Shylo right now, it's almost done, I hope to post a sample shortly.
Also working on some pseudo-children's tunes with Anna Vandas, the plan is to make children's music that parents will enjoy listening to!
I also completed a little promotional video for the Dalit Freedom Network, with my daughter as the star for that.
The other project on the go is a short film with the talented writer Rebecca Jane, it's going to be great!
Oh, and I got a 5D MKIII, woot! It's an incredible cam, thinking of doing a review...
Here's a screen grab 5D MKIII example from the video with my daughter:
Thanks to everyone that tuned in for the past month. I set out to do one big creative project each weekday for a month, and I managed to follow through! I hope you were inspired along the way to do your own creative projects.
I will still use the blog to post new projects, I don't plan on stopping any time soon! I have way too many ideas that have popped up over the last month. My creative juices just got a huge boost.
Now I need you to get the word out about what I do. I can be contacted for any kind of project that needs photography, video, music, or sound. Thanks for helping out!
