Toronto Meet Up/Farewell • Sunday February 7th

Well it’s a month before I leave Canada, or Canadia as one sarcastic Brit likes to call it and he’ll actually be in town next weekend. It’s jam packed already trying to see some of the city as well as meet friends & family before I move but we’ve found time to schedule in a meet up-slash-farewell get together on Sunday February 7th. To all my Toronto friends (and friends outside of the city), it’s my last weekend that I’ll actually be in town so if you can make it out, that’d be great as there may not be another chance until I come back to visit.

Even if they are shown as read I prefer to have them archived and hidden knowing that the conversation is done or I am waiting for a reply. The benefit to my OCD is that it makes for a very organized and structured life, complete with labels, folders, spreadsheets and I figured I’d share some of the steps I take to make this work.

A Reflection on 2009: Concert Photography

It’s a bit late, but better late than never, right? First let me wish everyone a happy new year. I thought I’d spend my first post of 2010 to reflect on my work with concert photography in the last year. I really only started shooting concerts in early 2009. A few years before then, I offered to help friends in bands out by shooting some of their shows in Hamilton – I had my d70s which I purchased in January of 2007 and a kit lens. The last year before switching over to Canon with my 5DmkII, I bought a Sigma 30mm f1.4 which helped a lot in the low light, and being in small venues let me get up close.
