The month of April has been very good to me in terms of my work getting out into the public, if not directly then through another provider. It’s a great feeling and hope that more work in the near future becomes of it.
I was happy to hear back from Paul Van Dyk’s crew about a banner that went up at the Miami Airport. Two are better then one 
Raveline, a German magazine which features a two photos, cover and mix sessions of Paul Van Dyk when he played in Vancouver the day before the start of the 2010 Olympics. Not a photo I would have personally chosen but it works as a cover.
And finally Megaphone magazine, a Vancouver Street Paper sold on the streets by homeless and low-income vendors. All money from the transaction goes into the pocket of the vendor. Those that sell the paper say it gives them a sense of pride and has helped some overcome drug and alcohol addiction, others shyness and insecurity, by giving them a place and a voice in their community. About Megaphone:
Our Mission – Our mission is to provide opportunities and a voice for socially excluded people while helping inform people in Vancouver about issues that affect their communities.
Street Corner Media Foundation – Megaphone is published every two weeks in by the Street Corner Media Foundation, a registered non-profit in the province of British Columbia.
History – Street papers have a long and colourful history in Vancouver. The first street paper was named Spare Change and started in 1992. In 1998 the paper changed hands and was renamed Street News. A few years later a second street paper was started by vendors named Street Corner. In 2007, both papers were brought back together and in 2008 it was renamed Megaphone.
A more recent photo in my collection has quickly risen to the top of my flickr rankings and sitting at third most popular:
