Three Foragers Bee Co. is a three-generation family-owned company that has been working with bees since 1975. Taking care of bees is their obsession, and sharing their honey is their reward. I had a fun time out on their farm just outside of Saskatoon hanging out with their millions and millions of bees. Get in touch with them for delicious raw, unpasteurized honey.
Tamara and I have been friends since our first year of high school, when we were in the same band and gym class and discovered how fiercely competitive the other person was. We used to pass notes back and forth in English class and she hated that my nickname for her was "Big Mac". She's such a funny, caring, and great person to be around and I'm so glad she found somebody just as great to be around. The night before Greg planned to propose (at Disneyland -- 100 cool points to you, Greg), he was so nervous about ruining it that he couldn't sleep and almost ruined it by blurting it out to Tamara in his sleep-deprived state. Luckily Tamara never suspected a thing, and now they're getting married at the church her family founded way back in the day. I can't wait.
I went to my first Sled Island concert nine years ago - Chad VanGaalen in a church opening for Destroyer. It's amazing to see how much the festival has grown since then. For as long as I've been into photography, I've wanted to be on the photo crew. This year it finally happened.
Here are some of my favourite shots from four awesome days.
