First Day of Carbon Tax in BC

July 1st, 2008 | 2 Comments | Posted in Totally Random

Today is Canada’s birthday and the first day of Carbon Tax. The BC government placed a thing called Carbon Tax on the gas we use to fill up our cars. I think it is total bullshit. The Liberal government says the tax helps to reduce gas consumption and reduce emissions to the environment. If we have a good transit system, who needs to drive? To me, this approach will only hurt the economy and does little help to the environment. Taxing is alright if the money is used wisely. I don’t see any hopes of the Carbon tax money going to be used properly. We pay lots of taxes but look at our health care and transit services, they are a mess. Gas costs $1.52/liter this morning and this nonsense is making me angry.

Wedding Photo Shoot During Earthquake

May 27th, 2008 | 9 Comments | Posted in Photography, Totally Random

I did my first wedding photo shoot in the beginning of this month. It went by smooth and safe despite a little rain. Thank god. Imagine you are doing a photo shoot and everything start shaking… Things start to fall and the church you are in is falling apart… Scary right?

Chinese couple getting married in Sichuan, China

A Chinese couple went through this terrible experience 2 weeks ago during the deadly earthquake in China. Their shocking wedding pictures were published on the Internet recently. The photographer was very professional because he didn’t stop taking photo even though he was brought to the ground by the quake and falling debris.

Everything collapsed, but atleast none of them were hurt

Let’s Help China

May 14th, 2008 | 2 Comments | Posted in Totally Random

Let’s put away your political views and bias for a minute and focus on the tragedy that happened in China a few days ago. For those who didn’t know, there was a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in southwest Sichuan China. The government had put a great rescue effort but more help is needed. Death toll is almost 15,000 now and most of them are children as a lot of schools collapsed during the quake.

A Picture > A Thousand Words

If you don’t know how bad the situation is, just head to Reuters.com and look at the image gallery of the quake. You will see how bad it is for the victims and their families. Your tears will start to drop as pictures are better than a thousand words.

Donate Now!

Because the quake erupted in a mountainous area and many roads were destroy, rescuers had a hard time reaching the victims. The first rescuers walked for hours to each to the critical areas. You don’t have to do the same to help those victims, all you need to do is contact your local Red Cross now and donate. The latest news from China is that it is badly in need of bottled water. Donate now and help get those water to the victims! If doesn’t matter if you are Chinese, Japanese, or American. Save some lives before it is too late!
