🎟️ We're giving away 2 tickets to Default — live in Prince George!

Default's Fallout 25th Anniversary Tour is rolling into the CN Centre on Tuesday, Sept 22, with Wide Mouth Mason opening the night — and we have a pair of tickets with someone's name on them.

Want in?

Head to our website https://origin8studios.ca, and at the bottom of the page you'll find a magenta CONTEST button.

Once you're on the contest page, you'll find the GLEAM contest box — Like our ORIGIN 8 page there to enter. Following us on Instagram earns a bonus entry. And if you'd like our news and giveaways, sign up for the newsletter too — totally optional, but very kind of you 🙂

It takes about 20 seconds to enter and it's completely free. We draw the winner on Sept 1 — plenty of time to sort out your night before the show.

Share this post with all your friends!

Good luck!

Come check out my wet plate collodion Downtown Williams Lake Art Walk display at WorkBC Centre Williams Lake on the second floor. They do have an elevator if that sounds exhausting!

It’s nice to finally have tangible art that I can finally hang on a wall. I’ll have to do this more often. This is one of my original thick ambrotypes bordered in copper foil and mounted on “foliage” mat board.

Too busy focusing on the shoot to ever get photos OF the shoot itself. This evenings full staff shoot was great. I love having a client display while we shoot tethered so we can review live.

The new product photography station is now setup. Over head arm for the camera for flat lays or an overhead light. It’s going to be nice to have a faster setup for smaller items and not use up the portrait area. Thanks for the help today Alex.

Hope everyone has a great Stampede weekend! Maybe next year I'll finally have my tintype booth ready. Here's a tintype and two ambrotypes while testing out my "outdoor darkroom". I'm not sure I like the tent method and I may end up building a more sturdy box to work in. We'll see.
