Updates From The Hollow

It's been awhile since our last newsletter publication and with the holidays just around the corner and all the excitement that comes with that, it was high time we shared the latest news with all our subscribers here!

2015 has so far been a banner year for us here at The Hollow, seeing us continuing our work on our multi-year project we call "The Anglican Church Project", as well as being commissioned to work on several terrific commercial and personal photography sessions for our valued clients.  One of our highlights for the year was our visit to the remote northern end of Vancouver Island where we spent three days exploring Port McNeill, Alert Bay and Telegraph Cove.  We're planning on publishing those shots and sharing those stories in the coming months so please stay tuned to our online gallery and our blog for those updates.

To launch these special features we've posted two feature articles to our blog so far sharing a bit about the communities of Port McNeill and Alert Bay in the posts "Alert Bay – A Visit Of A Lifetime" and "Port McNeill – Day One".  We have yet to start publishing photos from Telegraph Cove and you won't want to miss those.  Telegraph Cove is such an amazing community with an incredible history that we are planning on returning next summer once again for a visit and an adventure where we are hoping to see some of BC's Grizzly Bears in the wild!  You know we'll be actively photographing during that visit, seeing these bears up close and personal has been a lifelong dream of mine.

Among other things, we were commissioned to shoot an epic custom motorcycle that took six years to design and build by a local machinist here on Vancouver Island.  The day's session found us visiting three amazing locations to use as backdrops for this bike, resulting in a terrific catalog of shots that showcase the fine details and beautiful design.  For those who love creations of this type, check out our feature post "Norse" that tells the whole story.

These are only some of the key highlights of 2015 so far, please feel free to visit our gallery or our blog, as noted above, to see everything that has been unfolding in 2015!

Quotes & Quips

"There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment. This kind of photography is realism. But realism is not enough – there has to be vision, and the two together can make a good photograph"
~ Robert Frank

"A picture is the expression of an impression. If the beautiful were not in us, how would we ever recognize it?"
~ Ernst Haas

"Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man."
~ Edward Steichen

"You always catch more flies with a fly-swatter than you do with a fire.  So, don't start random fires."
~ The Toad
