In November of last year, Cathy invited me to take part in a photo shoot for some stock photography. She wanted a 35 year-old mining executive, but instead she got me, a 27-year-old support tech, so we went out to the construction site for the new convention centre in Vancouver. Those photos now adorn the Flash website for Laplink Everywhere. You'll probably want to skip the intro to see me on the sidebar, where I appear as "Chris", who “manages a mining company and resource company based in British Columbia, and finds himself juggling two roles.” (See the set of screenshots I posted to Flickr.) Evidently one of those two roles sees me sitting at a PC keyboard and monitor with a screen Photoshopped onto it (the keyboard and monitor weren't even hooked up to a computer), as well as going to a construction site without a hard hat or steel toed boots. (I actually have steel toed boots, for when my dad thought I was desperate enough for a job to go across from my apartment to work on the condos someone were building, but I didn't wear them that day.) Cathy makes an appearance her in own section, but notice how half of the shots have her at a Mac, and not a PC.
I wrote about the photo shoot on the day it happened, but I only recently saw the results. Since I did it as a favour for a friend, and didn't expect to get paid. I'll do it again if the people are cool but I don't think I'm gonna become a male model ("pale, pasty, psychotic!"). But it was a fun half a day, and it was another fun half day showing it around to my friends.
