I recently bought a 24mm f1.4L lens. I took this photo on my way to work. Shot at 1.4. I’m pretty happy with the results.

Here are a couple of photos of Young Widows when they opened for Russian Circles at Sneaky Dee’s back in December.

Back in November I went to New York with a couple of friends to see Cave In, Narrows, and Trap Them at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn. It was a really good time. Definitely one of best shows I’ve been to in a long time. Scroll down a couple of posts to see the Trap Them photos.

Some shots from my trip to New York back in November.

So finally I got around to updating this blog. It’s already February and it’s my first post of 2010. Sad. I’ve got a ton of photos to put up here from my trip to NYC back in November, Young Widows in December, Arietta’s video shoot, etc. I’ve also added a bunch of photos to my portfolio site that you can check out here. For now, here are a few photos of Trap Them when they played with Narrows and Cave In at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn.

One of the first concerts I ever took photos at was Mastodon at the Kool Haus in May 2007. It was when they came to town with These Arms Are Snakes, Against Me!, and Curisve. I like these photos much better. Here are a bunch from the same night as Converge.

Next week I’m shooting the AP Fall Ball Tour for Alternative Press and then on the 18th I’m going to New York to see Cave In with Narrows. I’m super excited for that show and I’m hoping to get some really good pictures. Stay tuned!

A couple of weeks ago I shot Converge at the Sound Academy. They are currently on tour with High On Fire, Mastodon, and Dethklok. Converge are one of my favorite bands, so it was really cool to finally get a chance to take photos of them. I saw them in Buffalo in 2008, but I didn’t bring my camera. I hope they come back to Toronto for a headlining show. You should also pick up the new album if you haven’t done so already. Here are a bunch of photos:

Up next: Mastodon

These are a little late, but I haven’t had time to post them on here until now. I included some backstage photos at the end.

In other news, I was lucky enough to shoot Converge at the Sound Academy on Friday night. They opened for Mastodon and Dethklok. I’ll post a bunch of photos from the show soon.

I’ve been ignoring this blog for a while and I should really start posting more on it. Last night I shot David Dixon and ‘Barbie’ by David Dixon at LG Fashion Week. It was my first time shooting a runway show and being a part of Fashion Week, so it was pretty cool to see what it was like. I’ve never been crammed into such a small space shooting with a ton of other photographers before. I was able to get a good spot just left of center with nobody in front of me. I was supposed to shoot Andy Thê-Anh and a bunch of backstage stuff too, but I managed to injure myself pretty badly earlier in the day and I had to take off right after David Dixon. Tomorrow night I’m shooting RUDSAK and NADA. Not sure what to expect from those two shows. Here are some of my favorites from last night:

In my last post I mentioned shooting promo’s for Arietta. I did a bunch of individual shots that I’m really happy with, but for now, here some group shots:

Also a big thanks to Josh Cornell.
