Music Monday

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 will be able to see and hear everything they taste and smell!

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…

Walk on down the road

Kristin, Adam, Cari, Emily, and I took a walk down Broadview and Queen streets. We took photos. Here are some of my favourites.

Blue Fog Review Part II

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 Monday

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?

It don’t matter if our love’s true

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? 

Self portraits

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’m in love with the world through the eyes of a girl who’s still around the morning after

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

Under more stars than there are prostitutes in Thailand…

On Friday night, I went to my first ever Hot Docs screening. Yes, I had never before been to Hot Docs after living in Toronto(ish) for 28 years. How long? 28 years.1 I lost my Hot Docs virginity to Strange Powers, a film about Stephin Merritt and The Magnetic Fields. For those who don’t know who Stephin Merritt is, or who the Magnetic Fields are, you’re obviously new to my blog, and my life.2 The Magnetic Fields are one of the most ambitious pop artists who are best known for their monumentous3 triple album project 69 Love Songs. Stephin Merritt is the band’s songwriter, leader, visionary, and in all honesty,… Read More »Under more stars than there are prostitutes in Thailand…
