Show @ 11:30pm Newsflashes - Newsflash Fri, 20 Aug 2010 17:36:49 +0100 http://pixarola.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=28&Itemid=2 Hey All y'all! It's been a wild ride over the summer with some spectacular shooting both here and abroad (see Gallery | GREECE 2009). I'm certainly looking forward to Fall and the new opportunities to shoot, especially to get back to these challenging and fun studio sessions. If you missed the early sessions back in 2008, maybe you would like to be considered for one of the upcoming sessions this fall? The project is called 'element:digital'. When I petition 'Lend a hand(or two)', that's precisely part of the equation where YOU come in: I need several pairs of hands--young, old, black, white, pretty, ugly!...well, you get the picture... and you'll GET the picture(s) once you decide to participate and the project is complete. If I've piqued your interest and you have a free evening coming up and want to hang around a photographer's studio and have fun and maybe even share a drink or two, consider it a date! Once you've read the overview, email me and let me know what your upcoming schedule is like and Pixarola will be in touch. *This particular project won't involve your personal physiognomy(faces people!) so it doesn't much matter if you are camera shy or aren't quite ready for your close-up, Mr. Demille!

Ty News - In the Studio Mon, 31 Aug 2009 19:00:00 +0100 http://pixarola.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=2 It was long-awaited and over the past couple of months I had been sketching a moderate itinerary when the date finally arrived and I found myself thirty-three thousand feet airborne and heading to fabulous Thailand and Hong Kong for a month long respite from the cold and damp of winter in the Pacific Northwest. Getting away at any time for me is always exciting, perhaps even when it's simply an overnight excursion to the Valley, but arriving at your destination over 10 000km away from your starting point is exponentially more thrilling! Thailand is a large country full of everything imaginable. From ancient temples to sun-drenched coastlines, sumptuous (and unbelievably cheap!)cuisine always paired with local brew--Singha--Thailand's National Beer, and plenty of nightlife to keep you stirring till the wee hours no matter what day of week. In fact, if you shirk the bars discotheques thinking you'll turn in early so you can get a head start the following day, you'll find yourself wandering deserted streets and Sois with typically nothing open till a casual 10 or 11a.m.. My first week was at a lovely Villa of a generous friend in Pattaya , which is about a 3 hour drive from Bangkok. Most of the time was spent lolling around poolside, enjoying SPY wine spritzers I snatched from one of dozens of 7-11's--or just 'the 7' as all Thai's call them (Yes. Convience is a worldwide enterprise!)--and catching up on some reading. There were a few adventurous days, touring around on the back of one of many ubiquitous motorbikes and I saw the Big Buddha along with the amazing and stunning Sanctuary of Truth . Other days were spent wandering around Pattaya and Jomtien beaches, relaxing under the plentiful umbrellas while being served up literally anything I fancied. Lunch--including a couple of cool, crisp Singhas--and a postprandial manicure, set me back about eight dollars total! Every time a Tab arrived at the end of whatever terrific meal or service given, I cringed self-conscious at how little I was expected to fork over: The difference between Thailand's powder white sandy beaches and azure waters and Hawaii's by comparison for example, is night and day!

What a grand opening it was for the 100 or so of you who came out on a busy Friday Night to enjoy Art, Coffee, Crannog, Wine and groovin' jazz at the Agro Cafe on Granville Island. If you were there you'll know that what was promised was surely delivered! If you missed THAT excitement--I've got a NEON LIGHT idea for you; Head over to the Island anytime during the next three weeks and you'll still be able to partake of most on the aforementioned checklist. Bring a friend, have a freshly roasted brewed French Press with some house made appetizer's or desserts or if it's later in the day, stop in for a Happy Hour Crannog or glass of wine and make sure to head on upstairs to the loft to see one of my personal favorites in the show--Can you guess which it is? --along with the famous NEON Orange Agro-Coffee Roaster. Show now wrapped. Coming to Massey Theatre in July! Where: Agro Cafe Roasting Bar | 1363 Railspur Alley | Granville Island | ---------Vancouver BC When: Mon Thru Sun | 8am to 9pm | 7 days What: Agro Cafe Roasting House + Hollywood by Light ---------Photographic Exhibition by Ty Philips Learn about Hollywood Neon through Ty Philips’ alluring photographs along with fascinating details about their history AND meet Blake + Staff to discover what Fair Trade coffee and Crop to Cup™ means to the Agro Café team and YOU and why it's imperative to sustainable coffee farming around the globe. .............................................................................. www.agrocafe.org News - Latest Tue, 25 Sep 2007 23:36:21 +0100 http://pixarola.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=18&Itemid=2 Well it was pretty brief but well earned as last week I trotted back to my old stompin' grounds --or should I say rather 'my old driving 'round' because that's a large part of Angelino culture that's unavoidable--for a much yearned sunny repose from the dark days of an unyeilding winter in the Pacific Northwest. Nonetheless, instead of making a b-line back to Studio City, I was fortunate to be graciously invited to stay a few nights in Marina del Rey at my friend's beautiful condo directly fronting the beach. Having stayed here before, I guess I knew what I was in for and for the first time in many years, as I deplaned at LAX I actually felt butterflies of anticipation in my stomach!
