This year I again had the pleasure of attending Nerd Olympics 2012. Instead of taking photos like last year, I decided to Instagram events and post them to Facebook & Twitter as they happened. Please enjoy this recap.
Thanks to Mom, Andrew, Melissa, the PHT Darlings!
Thanks for everyone for coming and the PPOC & Technicare for supporting Thesis Night 2012.

I was given a theme of solitude/mystery to shoot, so I told my dear friend and model to grab a hat, trench coat, and a large knife and we’ll head out and do a shoot. Unfortunately he shot me down, concerned about the legality of carrying a knife in public. I guess it’s probably not legal to be around downtown at night, waving a knife around? So instead we grabbed an old suit case for a prop instead. In the end, we didn’t need anything to capture the mood.
I also hope it’s not illegal to share this amazing cat with you. My biggest worry is that my instagram will become overloaded with cat pictures. Is it a crime to love your pet? Is it a crime to spam everyone with photos of it 24/7? Okay, probably. I try to restrain myself as best as I can

One of my favorite classes at the NAIT Photographic Technology programme is Fine Art photography. Our first assignment was to remove ourselves as the photographer from a portrait. You could ask people to take a picture of themselves while they felt comfortable, tell them something silly and snap their shot when they didn’t expect it, etc. My “thing” is self portraits, so I decided to do an experimental self portrait in which I had a natural smile. Something that is extremely rare when reviewing my 200-something self portraits.
To do the experiment I simply set up a black background and a simple two-light set up on my couch, in front of the tv. I set my camera to take a picture ever 25 seconds, and watched SNL reruns until I got a natural cracking up, smiling like an idiot capture. I think I got about 600 photos from the couple-of-hours long session, of which about 30 were interesting looking expressions – not the bored t.v. stare.
Here are two of my favorite/most idiotic/infectious looking smiles
