A few weeks ago my friend Scott asked me if I would shoot an event for him in October. It would involve shooting celebs like Al Gore, Martin Sheen, Hedley, Jesse Jackson along with the potential of shooting random drop ins like Justin Bieber and the Jonas Brothers who made guest appearances at last year's event.

Most people would've been excited at such an opportunity...I, on the other hand, had a different reaction. I had a minor panic attack that involved hot flashes, cold sweats, the shakes and the fidgets (yes, that's a medical term). Seriously, I had to get up and leave my desk for 10 mins.

After about an hour, I finally had the courage to re-read the email, and after another hour, I finally agreed to be his photography. Although the event is a ways away, I decided to take another course just to gain a little bit more confidence. I did a full weekend of photography with an instructor who is not only a rad photographer, he's also colour blind. Go figure. Here are a few of those shots from that weekend.
