A couple of weeks ago, my good friend Kiel Burwell and a bunch of others put on a show at the Atomic Rooster in support of the Canadian Cancer Society. The night went off amazingly! The place reached capacity early in the evening and the people who couldn’t get in were just watching through the window from outside. It was great! The bands that played were all from Ottawa - Those Gulls, The Uncles, The Superlative, We were the Fires of Rome and Bruce Boris (no photos).
Unfortunately for me, I was feeling really under the weather and I barely made it out of work to catch Those Gulls’ set. I’m rarely sick, but when I am, it really sucks and unfortunately it had to happen that night.

Anyways, a huge congratulations to Kiel and the group who put the show together! Hopefully we can make this an annual event.

Did some photos yesterday for NORML for their new collection from Benny Gold! Photos turned out really nice!

Drop by NORML’s blog and check out the photos!

About a month a go I shot the Flatliners show here in Ottawa. They are one of my all time favorite bands and I never get tired of photographing their sets. Sorry it took so long for them to go up!

Been super busy lately so these are a little late. Broadway Calls at Mavericks! These are some of my favorites from the night.

Not too long ago my friends from Callahan made the long drive from Vancouver to play in Ottawa with Farewell To Freeway. I love shooting both of these bands (see May 2009 and March 2009) and it was great to see them again!

I am now an official contributor with Family Tree Productions! They’re based out of BC and I’ll be posting on their page from time to time, so make sure to stop by their website and keep up to date with their already awesome content!

Photos from the flatliners’ show are coming soon as well!

Callahan

420 was a couple of days ago, so even though I don’t smoke, I decided to tag along and see what all the fuss was about! Being from a small town, I’ve never really seen a real 420 celebration. It was crazy! There were so many people on Major Hill (facing parliament), I couldn’t believe it

In other news - Callahan and Farewell to Freeway played last night at Maverick’s. I’ve shot both of these bands multiple times and I never get bored of it! It was so good!
Those should be up next week once my final exam is done!
Skate trip to Montreal tomorrow too, so watch out for some photos from that.

A couple of weeks ago Amanda Farrow hosted a launch party for her Summer/Spring line of bags! It was a small party for close friends to get a first look at the new designs and it went really well! A lot of delicious food was served (i made the cupcakes) and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves!

Expect a bigger launch party for the fall line!

the great food!

The bags and some of my favorite photos from the past year

So I was finally able to take photos of This is a Standoff! It was well worth the wait! If you haven’t had a chance to see them, you really need to get on that. IF you haven’t heard of them, check out their myspace page. They’re currently touring through Europe, so if there are any Europeans who are reading this (I doubt!), check them out!

For those who are coming to the launch party tonight for Farrow Designs’ Spring/Summer launch, I will be showing some of my favorite photos from the past year! Prints will be for sale for those who are interested!
I was also thinking about starting to sell some prints through here, but I’d like to know what you think about that. So if you think that’d be a good idea, shoot me an e-mail and tell me what you think!

I just realized the other day that it’s been a fucking long time since I’ve posted anything! I’ve been attempting to be a good a student and get my work done, but in result, my time to take photos quickly decreased. One more month and you will see some regular blog action from me!

I’ll be showing some of my photos this weekend during Amanda Farrow’s Spring/Summer collection launch! So if you’re going, not only will you get to see some pretty awesome bags, but a room filled with some of my recent photos!
I’m also working on photos from This is a Standoff’s last show here in Ottawa as we speak since I have some spare time before exams. So those should be up by week’s end (or even tonight!)

Here’s a preview!

My good friends in Amalgamation have been playing a lot more shows lately and have been doing such a great job!
They opened for Attack in Black last week and their set was my favorite of the night (Attack In Black was a little disappointing)

Did a couple of not-so-serious press shots before the set!

I’m back in Timmins for a few days for reading week. I’m going to have to hide out in the library for a few days when I get back!
