BlueFur Customer of the Week: The Selkirk Sentinel

Many websites call BlueFur their home on the web. We’ve got professional photographers, casual bloggers, and everyone in between. This is why we choose to feature a different Bluefur customer each week, giving them yet another opportunity to shine and a chance to demonstrate the diversity that a furry blue monster can bring to the Internet community.

Today, we take a look at The Selkirk Sentinel. This is an online publication that is maintained and managed by the students of Selkirk College. The school has eight campuses in the British Columbia interior, including locations in Castlegar, Nelson, and Grand Forks.

As a student newspaper, the Sentinel aims to be topical and relevant while conforming to the highest standards of journalism. This gives the students a voice on student issues. Topics approached by the newspaper range from climate change to school sports. The Sentinel offers real experience to journalism and publishing students.

BlueFur Customer of the Week: Allan Schroeder

Every week, we take a look at the one of many satisfied BlueFur customers, giving them an opportunity to shine (and hopefully get some more traffic too). Today, we turn our attention over to Allan Schroeder of Allan Schroeder Photography. He is an award-winning photographer who specializes in commercial, editorial, and destination photography.

It’s not like he’s sticking to his own backyard for some of his best shots either. If you go through the portfolio on his website, you’ll find that he has produced stunning images from five different continents around the world. His images have been featured in such places as National Post, Time Magazine, Architectural Digest, and The Vancouver Sun.

He also happens to be very active in the social media sphere as well. You may or may not already be familiar with the Allan Schroeder name, but you may know him on Twitter as @IcemanYVR. He is indeed a Vancouverite at heart, but Allan can be found traveling all around the world as well. Naturally, his camera is always close at hand.

BlueFur Customer of the Week: Tyler Ingram

Vancouver is home to many great entrepreneurs and, as it turns out, it’s also home to many great Bluefur customers as well. Tyler Ingram is a photographer who has a penchant for shooting water fowl and other birds. His blog is a great place to check out the different shots he takes each day.

While many of his photos are of the natural wildlife who live in and around the downtown Vancouver area, Tyler is also known to take his trusty camera to other areas as well. For instance, he recently went up to Grouse Mountain to attend a NBC Today Show taping. He also got to get up close and personal with Liberty the Bald Eagle.

Tyler is also a published photographer, having one of his pictures featured in a snowboarding book by Ross Rebagliati. If you’d like to inquire about Tyler’s photography services, point your browser over to Dynamic Shark.

In addition to photography, Dynamic Shark also offers custom web design, web development, WordPress plugin creation and other related services. Tyler is your go-to guy for anything to do with the Internet and photography!

Bluefur Customer of the Week: Derek Semmler

A couple of weeks ago, we put our first call out for a Bluefur customer of the week. Well, it’s time to highlight the first submission!

By his own admission, Derek Semmler looks like an “everyday American man.” However, you’ll quickly learn that there is more to this father of two. He’s got tattoos, piercings, a shaved head, and a menacing goatee. And he rides a Harley to boot. Needless to say, Derek is no ordinary dad!

Over at Derek Semmler dot com, you can learn about this “inner WordPress Ninja” as he “shares tips and tricks to get the most out of your blog.” He also prides himself as being a “Consulting Ninja” for people who want someone to do the dirty work for them. Go to Red Staple Media to see some of Derek’s portfolio.

He’s a busy guy, so we’re not quite done yet. As it turns out, Mr. Semmler also calls himself a “Money Ninja” at My New Choice. There, he discusses “all you want to know about personal finances and money management.” Talk about well rounded!
