I love my job! On Saturday afternoon, I met a client and her 5 month old Yellow Lab puppy at the Esquimalt Lagoon for a beach photo shoot. It was an incredible day - blue sky, huge sun and crisp temperatures. Boomer was a great subject - visit my gallery for a look at the pictures. He is a happy, easy going pup with more character then he really knows what to do with at this time! And like all Lab puppies, he has more skin and huge paws to grow into but for now, that extra skin makes for some amazing action shots - enjoy!

Roverlander's Founder's Day Weekend
What an amazing weekend! The Show n' Shine Saturday night brought in fifty-two Land Rovers in total - the highest participation ever. There were tons of raffle prizes and the voting for the best Landy in its class kept the crowd content while raising funds for the non-profit society.
Sunday we headed west of Squamish for the Snowflake Run and again had incredible participation with seventeen Rovers and two Unimogs coming out to play in the snow. Snow depth was around two feet which made for great fun without too many vehciles getting stuck.
I lucked out and hitched a ride with Ryan Ulansky in his Defender 110. The night before, Ryan and his Rover won Best Equipped at the Show n' Shine but he should be getting used to the attention by now. At the Portland All British Field Meet, his 110 won Best in Show over 87 other Rovers - a huge win! For more information on that win and the meet, the April '07 edition of Land Rover World is running a full piece on the event.
One of the perks (or is it?!?) of being the official press mobile is that you and your Landy end up with more photos then anyone else -even when you get stuck in the snow...sorry Ryan, your secret is out!
Oh, why did I put those two short videos up? I have my '04 Land Rover Freelander SE3 up for sale and I am constantly being teased by the Rover crowd that it is not a 'real Land Rover'. Anyone who questions whether the Freelander deserves to display the LR logo should have a look at exactly what these vehicles can do!

Welcome!
It looks that 2007 will be the most exciting year yet for me and I want to invite you all along for the ride! After leaving my full-time safety net job in the summer to build up my business as a freelance writer, designer and photographer has a had a few scary moments...ask any of my family or friends and they will tell you about the days of white knuckling it through an assignment. But what a kick it has been and I wouldn't change my life for right now anything!
So here is a quick itinerary for the next few months to help entice you all to come along for the ride...
On January 20th and 21st, the Rover-Landers of BC is holding their annual Founder's Day Truck Show and Shine from 4pm to 11pm at the Cloverdale Exhibition Grounds followed by the Snowflake Run on Sunday. This is the largest showing of Land Rovers in Western Canada with everything from the vehicle that started it all - the Series I - to the more modern Defender, Discoveries, Range Rover and even my Freelander (that is for sale). The show is open to everyone whether you own a Land Rover or just dream about it so come out and see what the legend is all about!
The next big trip is, again, a Land Rover Trip but this time to Europe and the UK. This is exciting stuff as I have never been to the 'old country' and we will be travelling in my friend Stuart's new 1976 Series III Carawagon (I will supply a pic I promise!). This Rover has travelled around the world and has done some incredible trips - Anchorage to Argentina I think being the most exceptional. We will be heading off in June for hopefully a month or so - more on that later!
I guess the last big trip planned so far for 2007 is the National Land Rover Rally in Colorado August 17th to 19th but again, more about that next time!
