I recently visited New York City. One of the areas I wanted to see most was Coney Island and when we went, We also decided to check out the New York Aquarium!

Nuit Blanche, 2009, Toronto, Canada.
It was a perfect night. The air was not too cold, the sky was not too filled with clouds, they were just perfectly defined, and there was a fog setting in on the city. That, combined with the many art exhibits throughout Toronto (Such as this one; Beautiful Light : 4 LETTER WORD MACHINE), made for a very romantic setting…

There was a lot of photos to be taken, and this is just one of many!
The “4 LETTER WORD MACHINE” featured the four 7m square alphanumeric quartz lamp arrays, Suspended 65 metres in the air between the Viljo Revell-designed Toronto City Hall towers, which displayed codes, DNA sequences and elemental words. With each of the four “characters” consisting of 16 light segments, the machine was capable of displaying nearly 4.94 billion distinct graphic combinations, facilitating the expression of any word in any language. Automated code sequences were run between live performance times.

Shot Info : 10sec. , f13, 18mm, -0.05exp, ISO 200

My friend, China’s (Keepin 6) new side project, Treble Warriors was going out to take some band shots with my friend Kevo.

I was invited to tag along and help out.
This is one of my favorite shots from the day.
The light was quickly disapearing, it was getting late, i got lucky enough to capture this @ 1/50 sec. , f7.1, 18mm, -1.45 Exp, ISO 800

At full size it starts to show distortion. I’d like to retake this with artificial light sources for the subjects.

I decided to go into the city a few weeks ago and meet with some friends for a pint and to walk around a bit.

As we walked through China Town, I noticed this abandoned shop.
My friend, Berta, curiously looks into it, as I seized the opportunity right away!

This was converted to b&w in CS4.
Shot on my 450D w/18-55.

I was at Wakestock, in Collingwood this weekend, checking out Social Distortion. I was right up front snapping shots of the band when these beefcakes in the pit started tossing people up in the air!

This is one of the shots i got!

This photo was shot quite some time ago, on my Sony R1. I’ve just rediscovered it!

My old cat, Daphne was curious as to what I was doing.
It was raining. The rain dripping down the windows diffused the light perfectly. It was the perfect moment…. click!

The mood of this photo reminds me of the song “sleepwalk” as done by The Brian Setzer Orchestra.

I love the way the diffused light perfectly highlighted her and hid her at the same time.

Did I tell you I love wide angles?
This was shot @ 18mm, 1/50 sec, f3.5, iso 400,
at 8pm when the light was quickly diminishing…
I’m pretty happy with the 18-55 kit lens, but i cannot wait to get the Tokina 11-16mm f2.8!
