Mascot Race at Hastings Racecourse 2009

First Mascot Race at Hastings Racecourse-Wingers

First Mascot Race at Hastings Racecourse-Wingers

Besides my trip earlier to Disneyland this year, it had been one of those days where I was constantly giggling and going “awwwwww”.

First Mascot Race at Hastings Racecourse-Jack and Mr Fox

Jack from Vancouver Giants and CFOX rocks!

And I wondered if the mascots had cooling systems inside as they “warmed up” in the paddock. Jack from the Vancouver Giants was hilariously causing such a ruckus- he ran into Mike Head’s booth (track announcer) blocking the camera with his giant head,  he played around with Farmer Kin’s hat, rough-housed it with Mr. Peanut and many other hilarious things.

Jack's peanut allergies got to him...

Could you bet which mascot won that day?

Whooey, first time volunteering with Vancouver Fashion Week 2009.
And like the other first-timers, might be my last.

Getting ready for next show

Preparing in chaos (Behind the scenes makeup)

So much drama, chaos and disorganization… I wouldn’t blame them for not wanting to come back.
We’ll see about the next one…

Anyways, the following are my top five favorite photographs taken during VanFashionWeek during the last week of March 2009.

Nikon Photo contest 2008-2009

I’m a Canon-shooter myself, but I find myself from time to time “borrowing” my pal Simon’s Nikon to shoot candids on the go while we’re hanging out.

For those photographers out there, Nikon has announced the The Nikon Photo Contest open for submissions from September 1st, 2008 to November 30th, 2008.

This year’s theme: “At the heart of the image”.
