Vina bought me a copy of Burtynksy’s Oil today. Thank you Vina! Really stoked, been wanting this book for so long! =]

Happy Chinese New Year, Valentine’s Day, and Olympic gold-at-home-drought-ending-day! Even though I’m not Canadian by blood or passport, I’ve lived here for the past 7 years and this really feels like home. Walking around Vancouver today was really really exciting – it’s amazing to see this city transformed. Been totally glued to the TV and twitter just watching everyone’s reactions hehe.

Red Bull Thre3Style has been amazing so far. The Edmonton party had such great energy and to top it off I managed to hang out with friend and BMXer Jaumell Campbell and his super rad house of animals afterwards. A few days later I traveled east again for Red Bull Thre3Style Toronto  which was off the hook madness. Here’s a pic of a hand from there.

Next up: Flying Lotus in Vancouver on tuesday, Red Bull Thre3Style Quebec City on thursday, Thre3Style Montreal friday, and Thre3Style Moncton on Saturday. Will probably be doing more shoots in between those – the shutter actuations don’t stop.

Back to Olympic talk. Now that we have that first gold out the way, we need to focus on getting more. When you see Olivier Jean and Charles Hamelin flying around the speed skating track, remember to cheer extra hard!
