Back in the days of living on the colony, weddings were such a happy affair. The drama was all happy drama, the people were there to be merry.
That's how I felt at Michelle and Brett's wedding. An overarching sense of happiness. A group of friends, family and relatives that all wanted to be there. I couldn't get enough of it.
The sun was shining all day, having no alternative. Romping around Heritage Park prior to the 6:00 ceremony, we got some dreamy, clean shots and some dramatic ones too. I need to edit a dinosaur behind them all in the photo of them running.
The venue, being a old car museum was wonderfully eclectic. Nothing like having a real airplane hanging above the guests as they're enjoying the spread of food. The neon too, soo much.
I wish for more weddings this summer that make me feel this happy, comfortable and energetic.
Thank you to Michelle and Brett for the merry time. And Brandie Sunley for helping me capture the day.
And then, of course, there's the photobooth:
I've known Katy for almost a year now, the introduction made by my friend Phil. Katy creates events and social experiences. I've been to many of such experiences and find them to be grand and yes I've been found to dance with a glass of vodka in my right hand at these events. In fact, this saturday I'll attend on of her larger events at Belgo Brasserie here in Calgary. 10.26 is halloween party organized by Katy and Derek. You'll be able to find me there, camera in one hand, with the makeup and dress of Lady Gaga adorning my body. Perhaps a little bloodied from bottles of fake blood.
Enjoy the photos. To get photos of yourself like this, contact me at kellyhofer@gmail.com.
At 3820 megapixels, this is the highest resolution photo of Calgary ever shot. It was captured October 1, 2013 from near the stairs in the neighbourhood of Crescent Heights. I Hope you enjoy it, and I'll certainly be creating more in the future.
The hardest part was getting my computer to listen to me while creating it, It took up over 200 gb of space while creating, got my computer up to 42 degrees, none of the calculations took less than an hour. I could go out of biscuits and Tea between every click of the mouse, if so I fancied. My next goal is to get over the 10 Gigapixel mark, but i'll need some help from people in Calgary. I'm looking for access to an apartment that's on the 20th+ floor and just on the south/west side of downtown. For just an hour or two, on a beautiful day. If anyone can help, contact me at kellyhofer@gmail.com

Steve was having a depressing year. His wife, Zoe, he found boring. The years of marriage had changed her. All the nuances that made him love her had vanished and he was left with a wife that was there in body, but her spirit had died.
For dinner Zoe made coloured jello, the most colourful part of life she had a hand in. She added vitamins to the jello to make up for the lack of nutrients. Steve didn't say anything. He thought he still loved her.
Steve read books to Zoe every night. The only adventure in their life existed within their mind, constructed around the stories within the pages of these children books.
He discovered children. He was inspired by art. His wife stayed the same.
The color in art, the life in children opened his eyes. He found himself contemplating how his life was going. Steve wanted the fun he saw in the children. He realized he couldn't keep on living around Zoe. Her emotional lifelessness was getting into his head.
As an astronaut he had a massive agency behind him. He had thousands of support personnel at Beakerhead that could help him change his life.
With authorization from his boss, he commissioned a robotic version of his wife. He had all her qualities he first fell in love with instilled in the personality of the robot along with the spirit of the children he experienced around him.
Zoe 2.0 emerged from the colossal depths of the R&D department at Beakerhead.
There was nothing about her that Steve disliked. She was perfect in every way imaginable once you get past the fact that she's the work of a group of men. Her personality extracted from Zoe, who was living in a house that was made to mirror her old house, along with Steve 2.0. A very soul-less, dull lifelike robot. They didn't put a lot of effort into creating him.
The folks at Beakerhead had programmed Zoe 2.0 to be an adventurer. That resonated with the personality of the original Steve. He was an astronaut, the more adventurous his 'wife' was, the happier he found himself.
Steve is a happy astronaut.
Special thanks to Beakerhead, Zoë Klintberg and the wonderful Steve Nagy
