Well, I’m in Chicago for another two days and while I don’t have any photos to share (yet), here’s a video that was made yesterday. Jon & Cristina thought it’d be a fun idea to spoof Phil re: the amount of timelapses that have begun showing up in his videos. Posted below is the results and you can read more about it on their site.

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.
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.
A new friend of mine, Jon Connor, asked if I could contribute to a new series that he was publishing on his website. All that was asked of me was to mention 3 films and/or directors that have inspired me. Mixing my love for music and images, I picked the following three films based on how their soundtracks along with the imagery proves constant inspiration for me: “The Fountain“, “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly” and “Mulholland Drive“.
