Continuing the theme of “day off equals photo fun,” I took the opportunity to take some photos with my friend Allegra. This beautiful young lady is a music nerd and a student. She has a love of bands from Nova Scotia, but not so much the women of that province. She’s also single!
Today we celebrate the life of Canada’s first head of state, Queen Victoria. The Sex Pistols sing their anthem to the monarcy. Dan Mangan sings about another kind of queen. Finally, The Queen herself gets her say.
I seem to have been blessed with beautiful friends. As someone who likes taking pictures, this is a good thing. Fortunately Natalia, pictured above has a fashion blog that requires photos. She also lives across the street from me. She’s also in a rockin’ band who I get to photograph often. With Wednesday being Shavuot, and myself being a rather unreligious Jew, I took the opportunity of a day off and hung out with Natalia eating some tasty Italian cuisine and taking photographs. So, ladies and gentlemen, I now present, sexy…
Kristin, Adam, Cari, Emily, and I took a walk down Broadview and Queen streets. We took photos. Here are some of my favourites.
I’ve been trying to find some time to hang out with my friend Heather and take some photos. She was over, along with her husband Graeme and our mutual friend Vince. Here’s some shots of Heather and/or Vince.
On Friday night I went to see the Blue Fog Review at Lee’s Palace. I had previously upload photos from before $100’s set. Here’s $100 and Rick White.
Music Go Music have a more traditional music video, but it’s not as much fun as their previous ones. I like that chicken guy’s in both. Now that we’re done with that, how about some You Say Party, We Say Die? Or, how about The Beatles?
Went to the Blue Fog Review at Lee’s Palace last night. It was my opportunity to road test my new 50mm 1.8 lens. I took over 600 photos. I’ve only had a chance to go through the pre-$100 photos. Until I get a chance to post the $100 photos, you can enjoy a recording, courtesy of Mechanical Forest Sound. Here’s $100 performing “Hell’s A Place,” a song about Lesbian love; and here’s Rick White with $100 performing “Sorry We Missed You.” Photos?
I’ve been playing with some self-portraits as of late, because I haven’t had any models around. Though I do have some photo sessions lined up with some friends. I decided to buy some new equipment I had been craving for some time. I started with a 50mm prime lens. It’s the standard lens that everyone has, and the fact that the aperture opens to 1.8 should make it nice for concert photography. I know that it’s a cheap lens, and I don’t expect to last decades, but it’s a start. Maybe when it dies, I’ll be rich and can afford the 50mm 1.21. I also purchased a cheap remote for… Read More »Self portraits
I’ve been at a loss of what to discuss on this blog as of late. I like to have days worth of content sitting in the queue waiting to be posted. Now I’m writing this post only the afternoon before posting. I saw this link posted on Facebook (thanks Brennan from The Cheap Speakers), and though I’m not a fan of Ben Folds, I’m quite the fan of Elliott Smith. I was interested to hear Folds’ take on the classic song, “Say Yes.” Yes, you have to sit through a beer commercial… and it’s for a bad beer. Why don’t I think it works? Well, first off, Folds seems to… Read More »I’m in love with the world through the eyes of a girl who’s still around the morning after
