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.

This is a picture of my friend Cam sitting in Big Fat Burrito. I took this to test out my 35L lens that I had just bought and I ended up liking how it turned out. I kept telling him I would send it and it’s been more then 4 months. It’s about time I post it somewhere.

A little while ago my girlfriend, Marie, modeled for a fashion workshop at Pikto. I took some ‘behind the scenes’ photos. Here are a few of my favorites.

I was at work last week and I noticed that they were setting up for the new Scott Pilgrim movie across the street. I wish I had shot more because they had a ton of fake snow scattered around. This is a gig poster for Scott’s band called ‘Sex Bob-Omb’.

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!

Warped Tour Randoms

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.
