Women’s Curling – Vancouver 2010 Olympics – Vancouver Lifestyle Photographer

Hey guys, this Sunday’s post is a little late, but we had a very busy weekend watching the games! Most of the world is probably aware that 2010 Winter Olympics are in town, and if you don’t, you’re definitely hiding under a rock. Vancouver and Whistler are doing an amazing job hosting the world, everyone local is in Canadian spirit, and everyone visiting is displaying their country colours proudly. The streets are packed with people, and everyone seems to be having an awesome time.

We totally got into the Olympic spirit and got ourselves some sweet hockey jerseys. Jason (even though not Canadian just yet) is wearing his team Canada jersey proudly; whereas I’m the opposite, although I’m no longer Russian by nationality, I’m wearing my Russian jersey and totally cheering back a big “YEAHHHHH!!!” when people on the streets yell out “GOOOO RUSSIA!!!” Although it’s not cool when someone looks at your jersey and says, “You’re from Poland?” People, learn your flags!

So anyways, we scored some tickets to the women’s curling event, and although we had no idea initially what curling was all about, we learned quickly while watching the ladies hit each other’s rocks. It’s quite an exciting game once you get how it works, and we got pretty intense cheering on Canada, and Japan! hehe Japanese girls are just so cute, and it didn’t help that they were right in front of us battling against USA. Japan prevailed over the USA!! The last 2 rocks were soo close they had to bring out a special measuring device, the few minutes they were doing that the whole crowd was so quiet waiting for the results, and everyone cheered for team Japan!! To sum up, we had an AWESOME time!

Here are some photos for your enjoyment!

Under the hood!

Since I have had quite a number of people ask about what we use for our blog theme I thought I’d write this quick post to explain more of the details. The site is powered by Wordpress which I believe is simply the best platform for blogging period. The blog theme we went with is Prophoto Photographer Theme by NetRivet Websites. They have just recently released version 3, which we upgraded to. All I can say about this blog is good things.

As some of you may know, I’m a software engineer by day, and I pretty much build business web applications for a living (in order to pay for the goodies :P ). So when I say that the Prophoto blog saved me a bunch of time I really mean it!. Having gone from spending countless hours tweaking a custom Wordpress theme in CSS and PHP, to being able to get our site up from the initial download of the theme to looking pretty sweet in a matter of hours is totally worth the $199!

Now I can focus my time on the more important things in life!

Everything is just laid out in the most intuitive manner from within the Wordpress administrator, and there are a tonne of examples up on the ProPhoto website to help you achieve whatever functionality you like.

Check out the video below for a better overview! Also if you want to save yourself $10 simply use the discount code JASOHO937 at the checkout!

Going Crazy – Vancouver Lifestyle Photographer

Hey guys, week #7 of 2010, so here’s a blog post #7!

Jason switched over to the dark side, but he’s loving it! I’m actually going to let him do a review of his new camera gear since I’m not the techy one; however, I will say this, that Nikon D3s is sexy! It’s got sooo many buttons, so many features, so many options, it’s crazy! Hence when we went for a little walk to test it out, we went a little crazy, and here’s the proof.

Here’s a sneak peak of Jason’s new baby!
