Banff-bound.

August 10, 2006

Headed up to Banff this morning. Meeting Bridges in the airport.The plan for the weekend:01. Gonna drink like a pig. (Michaylira's got the tab, so, you know.)02. Gonna eat like a pig. ("Stocking up" for the winter.)03. Gonna keep my eyes open for a wife. (The odds are a little better at weddings, right?)More from Canada, once we are settled into our Alpine Chalet.- - - -I was down at Pro Photo and saw Kohlman's pal Greg Hennes in the rental department. He set us up with some equipment on a Coal shoot awhile back.Anyhoo, he was nice enough to help me pick out a couple new lenses for the 30D, and, follow up with some inspiring wellwishing later on in the day. Drop what you are doing and check out his work, with quite possibly one of the most bad-ass of names going: Oculus Sinister!- - - -Adam Haynes, Bend, Ore., has a show starting Saturday night up in Seattle called, "Walks With Evad." Evad was thing gigantic hound, with a big-ass bark, passed down to Jenny from Dave Sypniewski. "Evad?" Well, it's, "Dave" spelled backwards. There. The secret is out.Now, what I remember of this hound is: He's big, and, always scared the hell outta me. Now, once the transaction was finalized, I'm gonna bet he mellowed out some under the love and guidance of Jenny and her friends. So, we zoom up a good decade or so, and Adam is out and about walking Evad all over Central Oregon, looking at shit on the ground, then, drawing it up. Pretty cool, if you ask us.
