Moments in Time

I am mechanical, focused, driven, creative, and always calculating. With the press of a button, a moment in time is processed then developed, printed, framed, hung on display and remembered forever. – Drew Johnston

Fanstasyland

Take me to that fantasyland where life is viewed through a lens, actions are seen and captured, thoughts are developed into black and white photos and in the end. Over-exposed. – Drew Johnston

Creative Brain Farts

Hello, I was asked the other day by one of my clients: “in one paragraph how would you explain your mind.” I really did not know how to answer this at first, so I thought about it for a minute and told her this.

“Trying to understand a graphic designers mind is like trying to understand a serial killers mind, with dark, hidden, un-opened chambers which have no compass as to where they might lead or to what may lie inside. With each chamber opened, more creativity, color and technique appears and one day it becomes a great masterpiece – Drew Johnston

Photo Viewing Update

Hello, Thanks for checking out my website as some of you may have noticed the way you view photos on my Travel Blog has changed, a lot. Before you could post your comments right onto an image, instead of the gallery page, all images were created dynamically and demanded a lot of server resources for each page loaded by all of my viewers, my website kept going down and neither Netfirms nor I could figure out why.

I had been having some problems for months now, but each time I would add a new page or post, there was a good chance my website would go down for days or weeks without reason.

The photos now on each page load in a simple Javascript system called ‘Pretty Photo’ it’s very similar to my Travel Blog v1.0 design when I first created this website. I hope you will still enjoy viewing the photos on my site with the new customizations that had to be made to keep my site running 24/7.

Thanks, Drew Johnston.

Stronger – Tribute To Japan

On Friday March 11, 2011, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake hit Japan. This has triggered 4 metre waves in Japan and tsunami warnings across the Pacific coastline. Thousands of people are reported dead, and many more are injured or missing. The earthquake has caused fires and severe damage to buildings, leaving millions of households without electricity.

My Webhost – Migration

Hey, my web host “Netfirms”, is in the process of migrating data from their current facility to their totally new rad data facility. This is sure to make sites work and display much faster.

For the time being you might experience errors, or time outs while this process is happening, and may not stop until it is complete. Just refresh the page a few times, it usually comes right back, but in the mean time, keep browsing and enjoy my new re-design.

“It’s just my luck that we would both be having major upgrades and updates at the same time. Go figure!”

Its Happening, Please Wait.

Hello visitor, it’s happening, I am in the process of re-writing each and every page of my travel blog to suit you better. There are many new features being added, comment per image instead of per page. Parent pages, making it much easier to navigate through the website.

Also the use of breadcrumb links to easily navigate to the previous and next image. Please stay tuned as I hope to get all these updates finished soon!, I can’t wait to share these new features and trips with you!

Been Busy Lately

Just wanted to write a note to let you know what has been going on. Lately I have been shooting a lot of wedding photography, also with the change in my studios and this Hurricane Earl coming things have been pretty hectic. Thanks, I’ll keep you posted

Whale Watching

We went whale watching with our friend Natalie yesterday, it was really fun to get out on the water again. We saw a mother and her baby, and boy was he energetic, he breached 4 times. I got some great shots, hope you enjoy.
