[005/365] Little Miss Sunshine
Susan and I warmed up for a corporate portrait shoot with Yvonne Chiang from Chiang PR. Suffice to say, we were both a little jumpy.

[007/365] The Ladies of Beyond Pink 2009
The day after the shoot with Yvonne Chiang was the Beyond Pink 2009 conference, a two-day series of workshop geared towards helping young women in business develop their careers. Theoretically the most awesome gig ever, but in practice, it was pretty awkward. (Totally worth it, though.)

[010/365] Last-Minute Preparations
I had been meaning to book Laura Lee for some time, we finally had a chance to sit down for a brainstorming / warm-up session.

[012/365] Sin
In between Laura Lee’s outfit changes, Christina hopped in front of the camera for her 15-seconds of fame.

[016/365] Clear Blue Water
Bon voyage! Cruising the Atlantic ocean on the Carnival Valor en route to the Carribean.

[017/365] Bob
First stop in the Carribeans: Grand Cayman. This gentlemen was the man who chartered our stingray excursion.

[018/365] Infectious
Even in Isla Roatan, Miley Cyrus paraphernalia is sold.

[020/365] Fire!
Didn’t have a chance to leave the compound at Belize, so I turned my eye to tourists instead – in particular,this kid at boats.

[020/365] Between Giants
Leaving the beautiful island of Cozumel, sister ships sat waiting at the dock. (For all travelers – as gorgeous as Cozumel is, don’t drink the water or eat the veggies. You will suffer.)

[025/365] When All Else Fails
11:45PM. With only 15 minutes to get my daily photo, I found these figurines, bounced a flash off my ceiling, and BAM! – magic.

[028/365] Chasing Sunlight
Found a Korean girl in a tree. Decided photos were a great idea, and it turned into a complete set.

[029/365] Happiness
My bedroom wall, lined with albums that have inspired me over the years.

[030/365] Silence
The end of month 1. It’s surprisingly quiet in sub-zero temperatures. Diana and I bundled up for a rather short-lived walk around on Burnaby Mountain.

365 Days has been a trying experience. 30 days in, and I had already spent most of my ideas. Most days, I find myself wandering aimless, looking for a shot. That said, at the time of writing, I’ve already made it to day 92. Oh well. We’re here – might as well go all out.

Like what you saw? Don’t forget to add me on Flickr and on Facebook for more! Looking to hire a photographer? Give me a shout!

Last Thursday, Shane Gibson and Stephen Jagger launched their social-media guide book, “Sociable!“, with a huge meetup that had Yaletown’s V Lounge packed from wall to wall. It’s been a week since the event, and now that we’ve all had a chance to chat, let’s see how sociable you really are.

I have five copies of “Sociable!” signed by Shane Gibson to give away. What I propose is that you choose one people you’ve met through social media, and spread some good karma by tweeting about why they’re awesome.

Sounds good? Here are the fine details:

• There are five prizes available. Each prize consists of a free copy of “Sociable!” signed by Shane Gibson and a Starbucks coffee on me.
• In order to be eligible entrants must:
  1. Tweet about why someone they’ve met on social media is awesome, and include both a #sociable hash tag and a link back to this post in their message.
  2. Leave a comment at the bottom of this page with their Twitter message and the permalink to said tweet.
• Two winners will be chosen by random draw, and three for the most awesome stories.
• Entries close at 11:59PM PST on February 12th, 2010. Prize winners will be announced on Twitter and jeremylim.ca on February 15th, 2010.

And the legal stuff:

• You must be at least 18 years old to win. The contest is open worldwide, but prizes (especially the coffee) are only available for delivery in the Greater Vancouver Regional District.
• Jeremy Lim shall not be responsible for any damages to the prizes (e.g. instant combustion, meteor strikes, etc.) or delays in transit.
