Flash Lightnin' at the Phoenix

Last week I was able to shoot the Wintersleep concert at the Phoenix Concert Theatre. One of the opening bands was called Flash Lightnin'. They rocked out pretty hard and if you have a chance, you should take in their show. It was great and I would see them again.

Making Christmas Pies

So back in December, we got together with some friends to make some Christmas pies. We had a really great family recipe to use so we went to Costco, grabbed some supplies, and started cooking. It was a lot of fun and I currently have 8 Meat Pies in my freezer to eat over the course of the year! I'm also quite lucky because my wife doesn't eat red meat so they are ALL MINE!!

Below are a couple of pics I took throughout the day and the rest can be found in a FLICKR gallery by CLICKING HERE.

ENJOY!

I'm pretty sure the cats didn't know what to think of all that red meat!



This expression is priceless!

Ashes of Roses

Hi All,

So most of you know that my wife is pretty crafty and recently she has decided to pursue that craft-y-ness (now I'm just making up words!!) by starting her own crafting (how many times can I say craft in one paragraph??) business. And even more recently, she sold some of her products at a Craft (*sigh*) Show in Huttonville, which is just outside our hometown. She did extremely well for her first go at this and I am very proud of her.

I was fortunate enough to be able to snap a couple of pics for her and they can be found below. And if you are interested, please visit her website (still in it's infancy) and contact her for more information on what she's doing. Here website can be found by CLICKING HERE.

And if you have a chance, please wish he all the best!

Wintersleep @ The Mod Club

As I mentioned in the previous post, I was fortunate enough to shoot the Wintersleep concert at the Mod Club on Friday night. A fellow Hip fan and good friend Dave got me hooked on them. They have three great albums out, their latest (and some might say probably their best) was just released last month. So, in support of that album, the band rolled into the Mod Club last Friday. It was an early show because of a DJ night that was to happen after the show but it was still a blast nonetheless.

Below are some samples of the shots I got. You can see the rest of the gallery by CLICKING HERE.

I hope you enjoy!

The Wooden Stars @ The Mod Club

Last night I shot the Wintersleep concert here in Toronto at the Mod Club. The opening band was The Wooden Stars. I have heard them live a couple of times before but they were especially good last night. It's too bad they played a short set because of time constraints. I would have liked to have heard more.

Below are a couple of samples of the photos I took and the rest can be found by CLICKING HERE.

EUROHIP Concert #2: Oosterpoort, Groningen

Hey All,

As I continue to work through these photos, I have completed another set. The samples below are from our second concert we saw, this one at the Oosterpoort in Groningen. There is quite a long story to the start of this show, one that saw myself not allowed to enter the venue with my gear, then it was ok, then it wasn't again and I had to take it back to the Hotel, then that changed again and I was finally allowed to bring everything in. A big thanks to Snoo for running from the venue to our hotel to let me know the good news.

Anyways, have a gander below. The rest of the gallery can be found by CLICKING HERE.

Enjoy!

EuroHip 2007 Concert One : The Astoria, London, UK

The first of the four concerts I went to during EuroHip 2007 was the show at the Astoria in London. This venue has been around for quite some time and many popular bands have played there. It was very dark inside as everything was painted black. There was an upper balcony and Chris, Ben, Snoo, Matt, Emma & I stood in the front row. We had a great vantage point as you will see in the following pictures. The remainder of the gallery can be found by CLICKING HERE.

Some of my favourites are posted below.

Cheers!

EuroHip 2007

Over the course of 8 days in September, I travelled with half a dozen friends to Europe to see The Tragically Hip play four concerts. We toured to London, Groningen & Amsterdam, spending 2-3 days in each city. We had a blast and over the course of the next couple of weeks, I will be posting my pictures that I took from this trip.

Today we start with London, England. We were there on September 20th and 21st and had a chance to do some "touristy" stuff. Below is a sampling of my pictures and the rest have been uploading to a set on my Flickr site. You can CLICK HERE to view them if you want.

Cheers!
