Thank you to all of you who came out to Aceart last night to support me! It was a fun night, lots of art to look at, quite the range, and quite a bit of art was sold. Very good to see such an active artist community. The piece above is the one that I put in the show, and the one below is another piece from the series I shot with Joanna last March. Thanks Joanna!
Well here's something worth getting excited about if you're me: a new logo!
I've been logoless for over 6 months now, and the other day I decided to whip one together. I have no idea how this came to mind, but I like the colour and I like its simplicity. I waited a few days before "launching" it, just in case I changed my mind on it. But so far I like it, and so now I'm announcing its official release as my new business logo.
I hope it makes you want to hire me! ;)
A lot of people say "a picture is worth a thousand words", and though that may be true sometimes, I think that pictures can also be worth just one word. Or at least, the first word that comes to mind when we see the picture. I think remembering and giving value to the first word that popped into our mind the moment we see a picture is an integral part of appreciating art. Although I'm a photographer and I like pretty pictures, I'm also a person of words and I think words are very powerful when intertwined with images.
One Word Wednesdays. Tell me what's the first word that came to mind when you saw this picture:

I came across Latsch Studios' live music shots, and it got me excited about shooting live concerts again. Last time I shot live music was back in September, and though I've done lots of music shoots in the past year and I also often do it just for fun, I was really starting to miss it today. A lot of my live music work was done for hire, so I don't have anything up on my website or on my blog, but if you do want to take a peek at it, I've got my photos on the 100 Nons website. I've done a lot of concert shoots for them and loved every single one of them. Not only are they great promoters of the local franco-manitoban music scene, but they're also delightful people and very colourful artists/musicians. I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I've enjoyed taking them!
I was walking through the mall tonight and bumped into my friends Joanna and Dan who had a cut-out copy of an article from the Uniter that featured Chad's band and my photo of them. I completely forgot to check the Uniter to find it - but now that I have it, I'm so happy with the result! The photo looks amazing for what usually looks flat for photos printed on newspaper. I know it's just a college paper, but it still made my day!
