Well, got a new walking around camera, Canon G11. Thought it'd be the perfect tool to start snapping shots from everyday. Starting off the Canadian way, drinking beer.

First And Foremost, This Friday in Bellingham there is the World Premier of Catch The Vapors, Standard Films' 2007 Video Release!

Caught it!

I did however have a shoot with the lovely Claire Champlin.

Cali

2007-08-07T12:56:00.000-05:00

So i've been here for almost a month now, and I haven't really taken many pictures, aside from the drive down. Soooo, here, check them out...

Look! It's the Goonies house!

...And the jail!

It's not a tumor! Kindergarden Cop school.

Oh shit, something on my lens...

There we go, check it out, the ocean in Oregon!

This is pretty much exactly how I pictured Oregon....

Who knew they had killer beaches here?

And gigantic Air Museums...seriously, look at the stuff around that building, it was huge!

Not how I pictures Oregon...

This was the start of the Oregon dunes, they are huge, and there is a bunch of mini towns where everyone has RVs and huge trucks loaded with quads and dirt bikes. I was so jealous driving that day...

These are the last clouds I've seen since I left Vancouver...and i was wayyy above them. Still in Oregon...

But getting close to cali....When I was a kid I had a remote control car that looked exactly like this.

Made it to Cali! I took this pic next to Williams Lake, yeah!

One of only two pictures that have been taken of me since I've been in Tahoe, creepy...

Tofino

2007-07-11T22:39:00.000-05:00

So, I got this random phone call on Saturday. Some girl from Florida was looking for someone to shoot something for them on Monday. Totally random. I told them, sure, why not, and ended up leaving the next day, and hanging out in Tofino for a couple days at some sweet hotel. The shoot went good, I got to hang out and BBQ on the beach with another T.bay kid, and all in all it was fun. I was really sad to leave, but that's okay, because tomorrow I'm driving to Cali!

We managed to make it onto some Norwegian snowboard website, pictures were up before we even woke up from National day. Check it out... www.tacky.no and scroll down to where you can read Danny Kass. Not sure what any of the captions say, but pictures are pretty funny.

Right now we are sitting in Hemsedal. Got a jump all setup yesturday, going up in about an hour to start hitting it. Hopefully the sun co-operates and we get some more sick shots.

Trip has been awsome so far, and it's only halfway through. I will get some pics up the next time I have a solid internet connection. Might not be until I get home.

Takk.

Trouble

2007-04-23T09:31:00.000-05:00

Holy shit yesterday was crazy! Woke up at 7am to drive up to Whistler so we could get a full day of riding in. It was sunny, it was rainy, it was snowing, it was foggy, basically it was everything and it was spring. Whistler's last day was prettttyy fun. The park was in super good shape with lots of fun stuff on it. After that we basically just tried to kill time until the Trouble Andrew show. It was supposed to start at 10 at Buffalo Bills, but I Don't think Trevor got on stage until welll after 12. The show was kickasss, besides the long wait and shitty white rapper that played before him, but Trouble was definitely siiiiiickkk. After that left Whistler and drove all the way back to Vancouver. Rolled in sometime after 3am. Sweet, 4 hours sleep until I had to wake up, get all my gear ready, pick up equipment and drive all the way back to Whistler to do it all again! So now I'll be up in Whistler for the next week. Don't know where I'm staying or when I"ll be coming back to Van, but I"m stoked. Big Whistler heli shoot this week, Danny Kass and Kazu will be there, killer. Full update with pics and everything when i Get back. it's 7:30 and I've gotta hustle. PEACE!

So we went up to Whistler on Saturday for the day to check out the WSSF. We were gonna ride that day, but the forecast didn't look so good, so we slept in. Didn't make it to Whistler until like 2pm. Turns out it was an amazing day, sunny, 30cm of fresh, and the mountain was empty. bummer. Anyways, here's some pics from out tours around Whistler.

Jessi's hungry. Squamish Quiznos, mmmmm...

Scotty and Mikey drinking in public. Mark found out later that it might not be the best idea.

We had a good time.

All in all it was pretty fun. We walked around the village and drank, watched some big air, ate some poutine, and Mark got thrown in the drunk tank. Can't wait to go back up this week!

Fashion Show

2007-04-11T13:22:00.000-05:00

Alright, finally got everything all hooked up, phone, internet, tv, everything is good to go. Moved in last Sunday, the day Jessi and my brother showed up. Megan and I painted our room, picked up a couple couches, and stocked the kitchen. Too much new stuff, will post some pictures soon. Just waiting for a few shoots to get rolling in April. Scotty will be here Tuesday.

2007-03-06T17:35:00.000-05:00

Week Two

2007-02-26T00:55:00.000-05:00

I think this is week two, it's hard to tell, all the days blend together and there is just so much going on it feels like I've been here for a month.

Shit has slowed down with the Standard crew, more fly days, I'm still waiting for a seat to open up in the heli. Some chances are looking good though, might go up with some of the private groups and do some filming for Northern Escape Heli.

I went up to Shames today and did a bit of filming with a dude from Prince Rupert. He's sponsored by a shop called Loaded that is there. Super nice weather the past couple days, blue bird and warm. Snowboarding is fun, hanging out at Har-lee's lodge with the boys in the evenings after riding and it's super chill. Tonite I had an amazing Thai dinner home cooked by a lady from Thailand. Sooooo good, sushi too!!

I got to check out a couple of lines they filmed today too. Soooooo crazy, Lando and JohnJ killing it. I am super stoked to get up. Travis hooked me up with a bag last nite. It's super sick. Jeff Curtes' Burton camera bag, one of 12 made a year. Sooo trick. I've got my XL2 all loaded up in it and it's ready to go, just waiting for the call to suit up and jump in the heli. Until then, Shames will do. Good scene there. Found a sweet Trump Donald today, so fun. Andy would be stoked.

Stay tuned, there should be an exciting update soon!

Watch out!

Mikey.

Week One

2007-02-19T14:24:00.000-05:00

So, I've been here for a week. Rolled into town late last Sunday night. Fount out my Rogers cellphone doesn't work here, also no internet. So, as of right now, no pictures. I hooked up with Mike Hatchett and Travis Robb with the Standard riders last Monday, and since then have been super busy.

Shot a bunch of interviews with all the riders, heli pilot, and owner of Northern Escape Heli Ski. They turned out pretty cool. Got some good "lifestyle" shots on Saturday night too, haha. We also filmed Mark Landvik's intro on 16mm last week, and have been brainstorming/storyboarding the intros for the rest of the guys.

They have all been pretty much stuck in the lodge for the past week because of weather, but the week after this is looking good. Yesturday I did my heli safety and transciever training, so I am on standby waiting for good weather and an empty seat.

I was able to make it up to the hill a couple times last week. The first day there was a foot of fresh. Super funnnnn bombing around in all the snow. The second day I went they broke the 400cm mark with a base of 402cm. Mount Baker which is pretty much the record breaker for snowfall is at 406cm right now, so yeah, that a lot of snow! This week it will probably beat Baker because they are expecting an AK coldfront to come down here and bring a lot of precip.

I will try and get pictures up soon, but until then, this will have to do.

Mikey.

The Beginning

2007-02-05T00:39:00.000-05:00

I figured since I'm moving so far away from everyone, I don't want to disappear for good. So, I started this blog to keep everyone updated on the happenings of DTE and myself. Now that I've been unleashed on the world I'm gonna try and throw up the most interesting pics of whatever goes down in BC.

I'm gonna be filming for Standard Films (www.stanadardfilms.com) for the next month, so I hope to have lots of rockstar pics to throw up real soon.

Stay tuned...
