Jamie’s article about CeltFest Cuba (accompanied by my photographs) has recently been published by pipes|drums. My fourth installment in the ongoing series “Photographing the Art” is well underway and should be online shortly! For subscribers only.

A short video clip of the Galician pipers at the session at Dos Hermanos is HERE on the pipes | drums YouTube channel.

The Vancouver Island Pipers Club met on Saturday evening. The guest performer was Dave Bowman, a drummer with the current World Champions Simon Fraser University Pipe Band, and co-owner of Bowman Percussion (makers of the Rad Pad). Jamie piped as well, and a bit more about the evening was posted on the JWT Reedmakers blog. I took a few shots in the band room as the boys were warming up for the evening, and one of Club President (and Jamie’s little sister), Jacquie Troy. Good luck to both Dave and Jamie this weekend in Kansas City as they compete at Winter Storm! Head over to the Photographer Network blog to see one more image of the boys in the band room.

The third installment of images of pipers and drummers for pipes|drums is online for subscribers. I’m currently working on the fourth part of the series with exciting plans for the project in the New Year. Many thanks to pipes|drums editor Andrew Berthoff, for allowing me to showcase these images. He invited me to start this project with the only guideline being that the images focused on piping and drumming subjects…pretty much a dream assignment for me! To see images from the previous two installments, head to pipes|drums (for subscribers), or check out my site for a few samples.
