Event

Kimberley's Photo West is starting to offer event photography. Now I guess everything that happens that requires photography could be called an event. Therefore weddings are an event, family portraits are an event, unveiling a new commercial product is an event, sporting tournaments are an event. So I guess what I am saying is that Kimberley's Photo West is an event photographer. No matter if you are hosting a sporting event, having a wedding next year, need professional photographs of your new product for advertising, we are your choice. As such we have set up a separate blog dealing with just event photography here. Have a look as we will be updating this spot with upcoming events.

Volleyball epilogue

Well I am now almost recovered from last weekends volleyball Provincials and it was a lot of work, a lot of hours, and not many orders on site. Hopefully the on line orders will make up for it. There were three of us photographing and one working the computers.
It was definitely a learning experience and there are a few things that we would change next time. It was fun!

Volleyball

This weekend is the British Columbia High School Junior Volleyball Provincials being held in Cranbrook. Myself along with two other photographers and one computer desk person will be photographing, selling, and printing photographs for participants and parents. There are twelve teams involved and should be a very, very busy weekend. One of the main challenges will be cataloguing and organizing all of these images in a way that searching for images will be smooth. We have worked out a work flow that should make this all happen very easily, as I hold my breath. Hopefully it is also a fun weekend. Stay tuned.

Flickrmeet 2

I was able to make it into Calgary for yesterday's flickrmeet. Although the group was small at 6 it was quite enjoyable. The weather was great and the conversation was good. It is always nice to get together and talk photography. I hope to be able to make it into town for more of these.

Wedding 2

As promised here are a couple of photographs from last Saturday's wedding.

Wedding

I could not have asked for better weather for the wedding last Saturday. It was absolutely beautiful and we were able to take a lot of outdoor photographs. I am still editing and prepping them to be posted online and will post a couple here in a day or two. It was a long but fun day.
