In the summer of 2007, I had the opportunity and honour to photograph British graf legend SheOne during his visit to Vancouver with Addict Clothing.

While compiling this recent post on WeMineDeeper, I got curious about the series from his visit two years ago and decided to upload those photos here. Was going to re-edit a few of them, but thought it more interesting to leave them be (a bit like pixel time capsules maybe?).

Oo and for those wondering, the space above is The Modern in Vancouver as it was being constructed.

The 13th (and possibly last) edition of Dubforms in Vancouver, by Lighta! Sound + New Forms Festival 30 May 2009. Was a packed lineup with Appleblim, Long Walk Short Dock, The Librarian, Taal Mala, Glitchy and Scratchy, Dubnostic, and visual installations by Vasho Pekar.

Check out the album here (and click here for the above photo).

zonk!

Back from the road/air for a couple weeks! Phew. Pictures from the Macneil BMX tour soon.

For now, here are photos from Canadian band Fritz Helder & The Phantoms performing at the Red Bull 381 Projects gallery space in Toronto last month. Fritz are a glamrock band who are the first signing to Nelly Furtado’s new label Nelstar.

The photos document the band’s rehearsal, their backstage preparations before the show, and their performance.

Really enjoy shooting backstage, so having the light and haze to work with was a treat.

Sorry for the lack of updates, swamped with work. In about 2 hours I will be leaving on a Toronto/Montreal/Ottawa trip with Macneil Bikes, and the night after returning from that I will be leaving again to attend meetings in LA for a couple days. Hopefully will have time to feed this blog though!

As for this blog post - these are photos from a shoot for Red Bull in Toronto. Every time someone asks how the trip went, my only response is “took photos of a plane from a helicopter” because I really can’t think of any other way to say it. Hopefully these photos will provide a visual explanation.
