Go big or go home.  

Thursday, October 23, 2008

A few weeks ago, a good friend of mine commissioned me to make some art for his new house. The result was a 24x41 stretched canvas print of one of my more popular images:

_DSC7341_1000

I was unsure of how it would turn out, printing that big from a 10mp Pentax camera... but I'm thoroughly stoked on how awesome it looks. You haven't really seen a photo til you've seen it this big, in print... trust me. I'm almost sad that I'm selling it; guess I'll have to make another copy for myself. Speaking of which, I'd be more than happy to make one for you as well, drop me a line @ andrewstrainphoto@gmail.com if you're interested.

A wedding  

Wednesday, October 1, 2008

I was home in the Okanagan last weekend to shoot the wedding of a geologist I know from my adventures in north-coastal BC, which happens to be the first time I've been to a wedding since my parents remarried way back when.

Congratulations to Graham and Melissa, and thanks for giving me the opportunity to get my feet wet in the wedding photography industry. Andrew Strain, Wedding Photographer? Nah... but I wouldn't be opposed to shooting more, here and there. Book yours today! :-P

Fun trivia fact - Graham and I actually took 1st year geology together, back when I thought I would be an Arts major...
