Two in a row!
Two workouts two days in a row. I actually feel pretty good. I’m glad I finally have time to do this again. This summer was absolutely crazy.

It's been a long time!
I’ve kind of been out of the loop for several months now. Life as usual (my professional life anyway) get’s way too hectic sometimes and I don’t really have time to focus on the stuff I like to do. I am too wrapped up in the things that I have to do so when I get free time I usually spend it recuperating. Hopefully all of this craziness will be coming to an end and I can get...

A good night for a run
I have been so busy lately that I haven’t had any serious time for training. I’ve been putting the job first way too much so it was time for a change. Tonight I ran my first 10K in over 3 months. And before that my last 10K was three months prior to that one. The run went much better than expected. 45:29 Maybe it was the weather (I ran right after a big thunderstorm) or maybe it...

Thinking of entering this in the Montreal FilmPop festival. I’m wondering if they would accept it. I’m also wondering if I should attempt to shoot this again in HD, but I really believe that the original in all of it’s graininess really captures the moment the way I intended.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...
The giving 110% cliche is a bunch of BS. If 110% is your maximum effort I’ve got news for you, your 110% is actually your 100% and your been copping out by giving 90% (or less) all this time.

It's all... Or nothing...
Ingrained somewhere in my DNA is the ability to focus 100% of my mind and energy into getting things done. It doesn’t matter the activity. Music, sports, cooking, work, etc. What I lack is the ability to coast through some of this stuff and save some energy for things that I would like to do instead of for things that I have to do. For some reason I don’t have the ability to be...

Blip.tv second to none!
I post videos everywhere online. Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo and lots of other places. There is one website in particular though that is second to none in terms of encoding and delivering the highest quality video out there and that is blip.tv. Not only are upload speeds much faster, but encoding times are also much shorter. Those are two big pluses right there, but the third and probably the...

Just a few years ago...
I used to hang out with my friends and get drunk every Thursday when there was a Canadiens match. Now here I am a few years later watching it at home alone drinking herbal tea! Funny how times have changed!

Working on another video!
I am planning to put together another video this weekend. I’ve already picked the music for it. I think I’m going to go with a good old visual trip effect video. I haven’t done one of those in a while! In the meantime enjoy one of my older visual trip videos!
Creativity coming back...
I’ve been so busy the last few weeks that I haven’t had time to do anything creative at all. No photos, no videos, not even really a moment to stop and think lately. This week I feel like my creativity is gaining momentum again. Maybe it’s the longer days and warmer weather I don’t know. Still I’ve got a few ideas bouncing around in my head that I am going to try...

My picture used in a Cnet News article! →
Yeah, that’s me asleep on my laptop a few years ago. This picture has been used for a bunch of articles and blogs online. No worries it’s OK because I have licensed it through Creative Commons and anyone can share my photos so long as they give me proper credit. Again free publicity is the best publicity!

Time to get serious.
I have been going back and forth recently about how serious I want to take training again in my life. It all started a few years ago when a friend of mine Dan got into endurance sports. He started off training for marathons and eventually has worked his way all the way up to competing in Ironman events. He was running the Montreal marathon and I decided to go meet him along the route and at the...

I normally dont' remember my dreams...
But this morning I remember one where I was entered in a cross country style race except the course was up and down a mountain. I was running through all kinds of tough terrain, jumping over streams and climbing over, under, and around large trees and rocks along the way. Now I used to train like this 15 years ago just not to the extreme of the race I was running in my sleep. Lately I have even...

Free Publicity is the Best Publicity!
I was tracking some stats today on photo views and I came up with a few interesting finds. I am finding more and more of my pictures being used on blogs than ever before. I don’t mind this one bit so long as I am given proper credit for the picture and in 99% of the cases I am. I just wish more people would inform me that they are using my work so that I could see exactly what people are...

Mind Willing...Body Unable...
There was a time when I could will myself to do things no matter how tired, sick, or sore I felt. Today just isn’t one of those days. I’ve been searching for motivation since I woke up this morning and haven’t found any. At least I’m out of bed and dressed! I guess that is a start!

Life should have more Zen moments...
Sitting in front of the window with the sun on my face and drinking some green tea. All is quiet inside. All is quiet outside. Life should have more moments like this…
