New Beginnings

WOW!

It's been 1/2 a year since I last posted. Sorry to all you loyal readers haha.

Really, this blog should:
1) Summarize Sept-Dec
2) Summarize 2007
3) Include my New Years Resolution
4) Summarize Christmas and January

Instead, I'll write whatever I want because YOU can't do anything about it :)

As of this month, Jon and I have started a new company called
Something New Photography specializing in wedding, sports and events photography based out of Calgary. We're in the process of getting our website up and running and by the end of the month we'll have a killer website and a new blog.
I intend to keep this blog going for friends, co-workers and random people who stumble upon this blog.

Sept-Dec I joined UCTC (University of Calgary Triathlon club) with the hopes of completing my first Triathlon this summer. Swimming has been by far the hardest physical challenge so far but I've improved dramatically. My self-diagnosed ADD however, led me to sign up for the Vancouver Marathon (May 4th, 2008) and so i've been training for this since the new year. My goal of completing an Olympic or Half Ironman will be put on hold until next summer...when I actually have a bike.

I've taken up backcountry skiing and went out to Chester Lake and the 'tree triangle' in Kananaskis, AB. I've also skiied more this year than any other year thanks to the Cheung sisters.

I've been taking tons of pictures and they will definitely be posted later. I'll leave this as my first post of the year, and my first post without pictures.

Take care.

Dan and Candice

Congrats to Dan for finding the secret key to Candice's heart: 100 roses and lots of crab legs!
I haven't seen you since the wedding but I hope you've had many 'happy' mornings. "Kiss your wife! Kiss your wife!"

Sisters Shoot: Lindsay, Julia and Laura

What a complete afternoon! It was full of laughter, clouds, sun, grass, frisbee, parks and more laughter. There was one really scary moment but we discovered that spicy gelato has amazing healing powers.

All you girls need for a good laugh is each other. Thanks for the eventful afternoon.

West Coast Trail

August 16-22

It's been my dream to do the West Coast Trail for the past 2 years. I took on this adventure with Dan, Clarissa and Sarah.
What an experience to sleep on the beach and fall asleep to the sound of waves! We were blessed to have no rain when we set up the tents, but at all other times, it rained.
Walking along the beaches was mentally the toughest challenge for me. I sunk about 3 inches with each step that I took. You know in nightmares where you're running as hard as you can, but you're barely moving?? It's a similar feeling walking along the coarse beaches.

Here are some of the amazing sunsets which we experienced while on the trail.

Enjoy!

Godwin Tsang and Marie Chu Engagement

Aug 8, 2007

I've been deep in thought the last few days and I MUST say, this was one of my Top 2 engagement sessions in terms of fun and sweet moments.

We narrowly escaped the heavy rain! What perfect timing.

Thank you so much for the feast aftewards. Godwin's probably still eating leftover noodles everyday for lunch. :)
