Hey NV10, bring me out to Vancouver!
Hey guys - here's my plea for one (or hopefully two, seeing as it's a couple thousand kilometerssss....) of your generous travel bursaries.
I moved from my hometown of Vancouver to my other hometown of London, England, last July, after six years of givin' 'er a go as a fashion photographer in Vancouver's somewhat less-than-vibrant fashion market. While of course I miss my friends and family, the beach, the seawall, the spring Sakura, ohhh my God, the food at Guu.. I am really committed to pursuing my career, and this is where it has led me.
Check out my lil video below, my appeal to you, the NV10 team, to bring me across a very large pond to come and trade ideas and new approaches with everyone at Northern Voice 10.
I feel like I have a gift for sharing experiences and opening people up to new ways of expressing themselves. I have a lot of friends and colleagues in the sprawling Vancouver social media network, and would love the opportunity to meet up with everyone to both share and to absorb ideas, methods and tips as far as getting our work out there, and just to share share share!

If you like, check me out through my friends and colleagues in Vancouver - lovelies like Kris Krug and Rachel Zottenberg of Grace Gallery not to mention my former boss Vanessa Leigh and my editor Michael Mann at ION Magazine where I was the photo editor for five years, as well as the admin and instigator of our flickr pool.
(As an aside, maybe the reason I came out so technologically inclined <read: nerdy> was as a result of growing up in the same house as my techie pioneering big bro, Alex Garden, one of the founders of Relic Entertainment, currently reinventing the Deathstar at Microsoft.)
As well, incase you missed the links in the video, here they are again:
My website for my fashion photography
My (I must admit, totally killer) StumbleUpon
...and on a final, heart-wrenching, family-oriented note, the event falls over the weekend of my dear old Dad's 65th birthday, so being back "home" would allow me to share that with him as well - and really, it's all about sharing, right?

ACNE Jeans SS/10 Presentation @ Curve Gallery, Barbican, London - September 01/2009
...ran along with the fabulous Gabriel of Push It Magazine to the ACNE launch of their upcoming season - understated edgy with a sheen of elegance was of course the Swedish-y feel, and the models simply stood languidly amid the guests, while stylists and buyers touched and interacted freely with the garments and their wearers. Oh, and the champagne came in crystal goblets.

Shooting with Back Yard Recordings artist, Ali Love // London // August 09
Working again with the rad team from Back Yard Recordings, shooting press images for artist Ali Love - more pics to come once the campaign and album art have been decided - way too excited about this project. (obv completely killing me not to post any of the edits.)
...beyond amazing retro-futuro styling brought to us again by Saranne Woodcroft - knits and chains and space suits go golden gloves. Production by Camille Benett and Annabel Thompson.
...see Back Yard's post about the shoot here. Hit them up on twitter, they make almost no sense, and represent some amazing acts.
