Knowing I had a few very busy days worth of shooting during NXNE, I decided to take it easy the second night and photograph one of my favourite folk/alternative artists, A.A. Bondy with Avi Buffalo starting the night off at the Great Hall – June 18, 2010. Shot for AUX.
It was exactly one year ago that I shot my first show in Toronto. I didn’t have a media pass, I had no idea how you’d go about obtaining one and I was still shooting with my Nikon d70s, kit lens and Sigma 30mm f/1.4. I followed my friend, Pete Nema around for two nights venue hopping. I think in the two evenings I went out, we hit at least 5 venues. It’s amazing how much can happen in a year. Shooting for AUX this year, I decided for a more low key schedule, choosing to shoot one location per night. Maybe a bit lame, but at least I knew I’d be back in bed at a certain time with my photos edited and ready to go up online the next day for AUX.
My summer of rock continues with Cinderella opening up for Scorpions at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre on June 27, 2010. Shot for Blare Magazine.
The Wilderness of Manitoba and Julie Doiron open up for Basia Bulat at the Phoenix in Toronto on June 4, 2010. Shot for Sticky Magazine, with a review by Jen Polk.
I’d like to share with you something I’ve been slowly updating and working on in the last while. My good friend Lukas and his friend Tyler have been developing 4ormat for the last year and while I’ve been lucky enough to play around it for a few months now, it’s now in BETA and ready for others to use as well!
