Hangover Square
This past April or May a friend of mine (who would like to be known by her web identity “Lady Estrogen”) said she had an idea for a music video. I said lets do it. She said o.k… nearly 10 months later, said video gets done. We actually shot in August and I just found [...]
Erie Beach
These are shots from Erie Beach (or Waverly as its known now) in Fort Erie. The place used to be known as “Buffalo’s $2 million playground.” It had a dance hall, open air theatre, the “world’s largest outdoor public swimming pool”, and other attractions all along the Lake Erie shore directly across from Buffalo, NY. [...]
Going Global
I just finished the on-line of the “first” episode of a new series that will air on a number of networks around the world including CNBC World. I say “first” because we did an earlier episode on China, but I think this will be the first episode. The series is called Going Global and it’s [...]
Under God’s Roof
Back when there was snow on the ground, I was contacted by Columbia Magazine and hired for my first U.S. Magazine shoot. I posted a few of the pics that didn’t make the magazine a few days after the shoot. Well i finally got around to posting the article scanned from the magazine. I also [...]
Ivy
My buddy Jordan is getting set to unveil his new clothing label “Ivy” this fall. So about a month ago we set up a promo shoot for the line and grabbed some shots in and around the Ivy factory on the west side of Toronto. The shirts are completely stylin’ and are of ridiculously awesome [...]
Make It Raw
I had a shoot last week with Francesco Comito. He’s a Toronto Chef and all around cool guy and currently working on getting a new show off the ground called “Make It Raw.” I was hired to get some publicity shots of him, in the market and in the kitchen, so we started off in [...]
Dave & Olivia
I went out this past Friday with Dave & Olivia for an engagement shoot. It was raining all day, but around 5pm the rain rolled out of town and by 6pm it was an awesome spring evening and great weather for shooting. Here’s a few of the shots and if you know the password, the [...]
Morrocan Graffiti
This month has been crazy busy for me. Mostly filled with graphic design and video work. Some cool stuff, but it hasn’t allowed me to shoot as much as I’d like. But early in the month I was hired to shoot some promo shots for Eric Margolis in preparation for his new show “The Other [...]
First U.S. Magazine Assignment
This was cool… out of nowhere this past Friday I got a call from Columbia, a magazine based out of New Haven, Connecticut for an assignment. Columbia is the Knights of Columbus’ mag and they are doing a story on the Toronto Knights chapter who are helping out with the restoration of an active Catholic [...]
First Skate
This is a short film of the kids skating on a backyard rink. I shot everything with the 5d MkII and because of the low light, I went with the 50mm 1.8 plastic fantastic lens. I think I had it wide open at f/1.8 the whole time. I didn’t write down anything so I can’t [...]
Alliston Bonfire
Last night was the annual sacrifice of the Christmas trees in Alliston, Ontario. The burn was a successful one as all trees and their left over tinsel were reduced to a smoldering pile. Here are some pictures of the fire and one of the celebratory fireworks. And here is the video of the night. If [...]
WTF… the first season
It’s a new year so I just want to go over some of what I worked on over the past 12 months. Actually i’m just going to recap one project in particular. WTF… What The Future! finished it’s first season very strongly. Starting out the show had a really cool intro (in my humble opinion) [...]
Justin Hines
Last night I had the chance to shoot and film a performance by Justin Hines at the Abilities Church in Toronto. We were actually there getting some footage for a really cool project my producer is putting together. If all goes well, that project will get off the ground and it’s one of those things [...]
Playing In Leaves
This is what happens when you rake leaves with your 4 year old. They don’t get raked to get picked up. They get raked to play in. Music: Certainty by Robert Bennett
Foggy Morning
These are just some shots from last week when we had pretty thick blanket of fog in the ‘Ham.
The Goddards
Hit the Caledon Badlands last week with the Goddards… it was cold and windy, but the boys seemed to enjoy it. It must have been a good day of shooting as everyone was tired and filthy when all was said and done. Here’s a few of the shots…
On Top of T.O.
This was one of the cooler places I’ve been in the city… A couple of weeks ago I was doing some promo shots for Jody Ness who hosts and co-produces Wine Portfolio. He also owns Wildfire Steakhouse in Toronto. Anyway, we started our shoot on the roof of the Pantages Condos, basically on the corner [...]
Goin’ South
This past week has been a busy one with a few shoots. One of them was with Akshya & Raj. They hit the road to Georgia the morning after this shoot… for good! The shoot was pretty fun and we did it just north of Brampton in the Hills of Headwater area on an awesome [...]
Canada Day Weekend 2010
This is for the family. It’s how we spend Canada Day every year up in cottage country. We build a float, drive it down the street to the delight of anywhere from 5 to 12 locals, then head back to the house for a Canada Day dinner and fireworks bonanza. Everything was shot on the [...]
Shooting the Ball
This weekend I got the chance to shoot James Ball, a comedian whose packing up shop and jumping across the pond (later today actually), to continue his career in the U.K. He wanted to get some promo and headshots done before the journey so, he gave me a shout and we hit the bricks and [...]
Warren Rocks the Distillery
What The Future… host and producer Warren Kimmel, we took some promo shots down in the Distillery District this week. You should check out the show if you know what’s good for you. Seriously! It’s a good show. In the meantime, here are some more of Warren’s shots…
Yolanda
Spent the afternoon yesterday at Downsview Park in Toronto shooting my friend Yolanda (actor | writer | producer | all around ass-kicker). She survived the shooting and here are a few of the pictures as evidence…
Collingwood Terminal
Went up to Blue Mountain this past weekend and while I was there I headed over to the Collingwood Terminal and grabbed some shots. In case your wondering what this place is, from the Collingwood Town web-site; This imposing structure can be seen for miles around Collingwood and symbolizes the twin engines of commerce in [...]
