NXNE @ Yonge-Dundas Square. June 21st, 2009.

Back in December I took some still photos during the filming of Arietta’s ‘Old Habits Die Young’ video. Originally I wasn’t going to post them until the video was complete, but I was given the OK to put them up. I’ll put the video up once it’s complete. For now, here are a bunch of photos.

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.

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

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.

I meant to post these photos a long time ago but I never got the chance to sit down and go through them all. Warped Tour was in the Arrow Hall parking lot on July 10th. It was my first time going so I didn’t really know what to expect. I was never able to make it when it used to be at Molson park in Barrie. Anyways, here are a bunch of my favorite photos. I tried to shoot as many bands as I could. Enjoy!

About a week ago, Harvey Milk played at Lee’s Palace. They were opening for Torche and it was their first Canadian show. The same night, Obits were playing at the Horseshoe. As soon as HM were done, my friend Cam and I jumped in a cab and made it to the Horseshoe two songs into Obits’ set. I’m really happy I was able to see both bands. Here are a bunch of photos.

Over the past year or so I’ve taken many photos of Arietta. A couple of months ago they released their full length album called “Migration”. It’s pretty awesome, so you should probably check it out. Here are a bunch of photos that range from last September to a couple of weeks ago.
