One of the things I miss the most about working as a photojournalist for a daily newspaper is seeing my pictures printed and published on a daily basis. I think most photographers would agree that it is always satisfying to see pictures you care about shared on news stands. I used to love getting my daily paper in the morning and seeing how the editors had run my photos from the previous evening. When you got a good shot... you couldn't wait to see it in print and you never had to wait long, just until the next day.
Last fall, I was sent by British Columbia Magazine to shoot two separate stories. The first was a travel article on Pemberton, B.C. The second was a story on surf culture in Canada's surf mecca, Tofino. Both stories were a blast to shoot as they were in two of my absolute favorite places in British Columbia. Pemberton is a gorgeous town with a ridiculously good food scene and even its own vodka, gin and whiskey at the Pemberton Distillery and as I've said before, I love shooting surfing in Tofino because of the great vibe of the town and really, the best photography assignments are those that can be shot while barefoot at the beach!
After being in a newspaper photographer job where I am used to seeing my photos printed within 24 hours... you can imagine how excited I was to get my issues of B.C. Magazine in the mail and see the photos I had shot almost 12 months ago! Here are the clips of my photographs... link here to see some outtake photographs from the Tofino surf culture article.
