Super Moon, Stars and lights

 Saturday night May 5th was this years Super Moon.
The night that the moon is closest to us each year.

Turned out to be a clear night so Phil, Wayne, Kathy and I
got together and spent a few hours in the dark.
After we shot the moon we moved onto painting and playing with a flash. 

Special thanks to Ryan for running around in the dark
while we blinded him with flashlights and Flashes.

Reconnect 2012

After about eight months of planning,

 last weekend was the first Reconnect conference held at 

Calvary Pentecostal Church in Cambridge, Ontario. 

What started as a tweet about getting help for a church tech team 

ended up with over 400 people attending from all over Ontario. 

The conference took place Friday evening and all day Saturday with a mix of 

large group teaching and breakout sessions covering Audio, Video, Lighting and Leadership.

A huge thanks goes out to the planning team, session speakers and all those who attended.

Below are a few Highlights of the conference.

Sound of Love played Friday night

After the main session we held a coffee house to allow people to network and 

get to know fellow Tech team members from other churches. 

Great music by Deni Gauthier

Saturday morning with Drew Brown, Janette Routley & band

Reflections at the Mill

The past few weeks I was on the search for some Reflection shots.
This was part of a Photo Challenge started by Christine Duncan and David Pratt.
Every couple of weeks a new topic is chosen and we each try to get out an capture something. It has been a great experience so far and helps to get us out of the rut of shooting the same old stuff.
We each share one picture with the group but I wanted to post a selection of some other shots.
These are taken at the Millcroft Inn in Alton just outside Orangeville Ontario.

Phil Wickham & Paul Baloche

Went to see Phil Wickham and Paul Baloche at Forward Church in Cambridge Saturday night.
I first saw Phil a year ago when he toured with Jeremy Camp and I was blown away by his guitar playing and singing. Seeing him again confirmed that he is one of my top solo musicians to see.
Who needs a band when you can what he can do on a guitar.
Paul and his band joined Phil for a song and  then took the stage.
I have seen Paul a number of times before and the thing that jumps out at me
is how many of his songs are part of current worship scene.
Paul is another excellent musician and is so down to earth and comfortable with the "audience".
Not sure audience is the right word as none of the people on stage
were there to perform but to lead us all in worship.
Over all it was a great night and if you ever have the chance to see either of these guys you must do it.  Even better if they are together.
