Photography marathon training!

You read right. Photography marathon training...I'm stoked! Check out the details here.

In August of 2009, I left on a jet plane.

Destination: Seoul, South Korea.
Purpose: I never quite figured that out...
Why: Help eliminate other languages by pushing English to become a growing global first language  (please note: this was a source of massive internal conflict for me the entire year).

Having never had just "one job", I found myself in constant need of something to do in Korea. I felt myself constantly becoming homesick due to the lack of activities I had available. Then, along came flickr...or better yet, Flickr in Seoul. This wonderful group of people helped not only in making Korea one of the most interesting years of my life, but also brought me back into the world of film photography and reinvigorated my passion for the camera.

While I had always had a huge passion for my camera(s) and photography, it was in Korea with the inspiration of these amazing people that photography became such a huge part of my life (and sanity).

After a year of having to put my photography on hold due to massive pangs of guilt if I left my studying, I jumped at the opportunity to be apart of a photography community again. Particularly something as fun as a photography film marathon. I've always loved a challenge!

It's been a while since I picked up a film camera to be honest. The last time I did would have been my experimentation with lomography.

I started to go a little stir crazy yesterday and decided to pull out my camera(s) after their two month long rest! Headed up to Britannia Beach, a small "historic" mining town on the outskirts of Squamish. People always underestimate this little gem of a town (probably because it is famous for selling "gems" aka hippy crystals and crap). I never cease to be amazed at all the interesting people and fantastic photographic areas I find up there. Here are a few of the digitals that came about my photo adventure yesterday...

These two ships have been at Britannia as long as I can remember. I'm a huge fan of taking pictures of rusted buildings and ships ever since my trip to Alaska. 

Hopefully the film will turn out fairly high quality once I develop it! Let the training continue!

Yours Truly,
