My long time friend, talented and beautiful Tara Blue, sat patiently while getting full white make up airbrushed all over her face and body. Simultaneously her hair was being sculpted by Naomi Maisey owner and stylist supreme of the The Corner Salon in downtown Calgary. Tara Blue and I have a great history behind us […]
Allara Gooliaff was wearing hidden knee pads, who knew?!? But boy was I glad! At first I didn’t understand why she she was enlisting the help of my strapping assistant José on the set. But watching as she flailed herself into a spectacular shape on the hard cement floor it became apparent she wasn’t getting […]

Knower of all things, Sherlock Holmes of the studio, our right hand and sometime left too! Kristian (Kris-Tee-Ann) our studio production manager for the past 6 years is leaving soon because for the second time in as many years she is knocked up! Can’t say we blame her.

Ageless, that’s how to describe the DJD archives from over the past 30 years. Lots has changed from the technical side, everything from production of the stage shows to the evolution of digital photography but the work itself is as entertaining and relevant now as ever.
