On the Road to Shambhala

Just over a week ago I found myself at the incredible Shambhala Music Festival near Nelson, British Columbia. Partnering with my friend Brandie, MHZINE and Editing Luke acquired media passes to the festival to document the experience and to create some amazing content. The stunning 8 hour drive from Medicine Hat, Alberta lead us through the Kootenays in Southern B.C. and proved to be another highlight of the weekend.

I've just begun the lengthy editing process by going through the thousands of Shambhala images I shot. I have also shared a handful of my shots on Instagram and have been blown away seeing a lot of it trending under the #shambhala and #shambhala2015 hashtags (especially during the festival). It has me really excited about the content I'm building, and viewers can expect multiple posts / photo journals dedicated entirely to this unique electronic music festival in the British Columbia wilderness. Here are a few previews from my Instagram feed and few gems that we passed on the way to Shambhala - including this cool barn / antique shop in Yahk, BC.

Pacific Aviation Museum, Pearl Harbor

Located on Ford Island at Pearl Harbor, the Pacific Aviation Museum hosts a variety of aircraft and exhibits, many focused on World War II. The control tower on site is of historical significance. It was the location of the first radio alert during the attack on Pearl Harbor, and it recently underwent restoration. The tower also featured in the films Tora! Tora! Tora! and Pearl Harbor.

Access to Ford Island and the Pacific Aviation Museum is only possible by tour bus. Once on site you can explore a few of the hangars, several of which have battle scars from the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. I got a few shots of the original windows of Hangar 79 which are still riddled with bullet holes from Japanese fighter planes. It's a fascinating museum to explore, made all the more profound by the significance of what happened here.
