Mediterranean Life

Mediterranean life

I was incredibly lucky to spend the past 8 Days on the beautiful Island of Malta. Its an amazing country full of kind people, good food, incredible history and of course; amazing architecture. The rugged Island coast line boast some of the most impressive fortified cities, build centuries ago during the time of the Crusaders and the Ottoman Empire. The Island is overwhelmingly historical and the architecture of the cities is definitely impressive.  Malta sit's only around 90km or so off the coast of Sicily and you can definitely see the influence in the food in Malta. Fresh pasta's, sauces and fish!

Here are some samples of my Mediterranean trip!

The amazing Commando restaurant, owned by my friend Rossana and Damien Ciappara. The food was amazing and the service and atmosphere made me to and eat there almost every night!

Goat Cheese from Gozo, breaded and freed on some caramelized onions and spinach with reduced balcamic vinegar. YUM!

Rossana heading out for service. Incredible food!

Jenn & Hale's E-Session

Jenn & Hale E-Sesson

Today was a great day for an E-Session. With the sun on our side, I headed out with Jenn and Hale to busy Gastown to try and see what type of great images we could capture. Jenn and Hale walked all around the cobble stone streets; stopping for my camera to smile, jump and yes even kiss!  Hale even came to my rescue when some crazy guy; without his shirt on, grabbed my camera bag and started to walk off with it!!!! I was incredibly thankful that he managed to stopped the thief; and felt rather stunned to think that I have lived in Detroit, traveled through Europe, Panama, Peru & Guatemala and it was here in Vancouver, that I almost lost my photo gear!

Thanks guys for making today incredibly memorable and of course, the Beer!!!

Hale told me at the start of the shoot that he wouldn't  jump! Look who's jumping now Hale....

Jenn and Hale met at the Balarney Stone, Gastown!

The trick is to run into the road when there is a brief break in traffic!!!

Loving the Gun's!

Jumping on the back of The Pink Bus!

Cutest Sing in Gastown. Jenn found this gem of a sign. One side say's "don't talk to strangers" and the other side say's "You might fall in love"!

Why a picture with a fan you ask? I say, why not!!! The great couple looking very Hollywood!
