its time to get on the bandwagon!!

Wednesday, April 9, 2008


hello all sens fans,

its time to wake up and get a good seat on the bandwagon. i don't understand why some fans only cheer when the odds are in our favor. i know the hockey experts have us out in the first round, but we got to have some faith. show your support for your team and believe. i predict the SENS in 7!! GO SENS GO!!!!!!!

vegas day two

Tuesday, March 11, 2008


hey guys,

sorry for such the delay between blog posts. we lost our wireless connection from our room and we are too busy winning money (NOT) and have not been able to get to the pool with macbook and grab the wireless.

anyway we have been having a blast!! so far we have won some money, checked out jay leno show, took a helicopter over the grand canyon, drove around in a hummer in the mojave desert and most importantly spent time with family and friends.

i have not been taking many pictures the last couple days. i hope to get some shots in and around the strip the next couple, i have an engagement session on wednesday with a couple friends who wedding is this august. we thought that vegas would be a cool place to shoot there engagement. so a little work while on vacation, but i love my job so no complaining here.

anyway here are a few from the helicopter/hummer tour. i didn't have much time in the grand canyon so i only was able to grab a couple shots, it was hard shooting from the helicopter.

cheers,
d

vegas day one

Saturday, March 8, 2008


hello everyone,

its been a crazy couple days here in las vegas. the weather has been beautiful with a steady +23 celcius, sorry for the people who are shoveling back home :(

anyway day one was amazing. i knew it was going to be a great day when chantale booked me my very first swedish massage at the westin. it was unbelieveable, i highly recommend everyone go get a massage, i feel 10 yrs younger. after the massage i headed off to go pick our rental car, i surprised chantale with a porsche boxter which we cruised around vegas and the red rock canyon. late friday night we had tickets to go see jay leno at the mirage, the show was awesome but i was completely wiped after.

here are some pics from day one, stayed tuned to see our pics from the grand canyon helicopter/hummer tour tomorrow.

cheers,
d

some signs in the old vegas downtown.




my lovely wife to be!!




the new 14-24 is awesome for self portraits.


were all set to go we just picked up our marriage licence.


some pics along red rock canyon.








the porsche, i actually thought it would be fun to drive. it cornered really well and was quick, but once you got the needle close to 100 mph she started to shake a little. its probably because its a rental and everyone drives the crap out of it.




chantale working the camera, she even got some flare going..


here are some pics from this little wild west town inside red rock canyon.
