Upcoming exhibit this month

While I’m in the middle of planning an exhibition of photos captured by Kenyan HIV orphans, I’ll also have some photos on display from my North America collection at Bodé Spa, who are going to have a grand re-opening party/vernissage on September 18 from 5-9pm. In fact, the spa plans on having events on the 19th and 20th as well around the same times so come check it out.

For those who don’t know, Bodé Spa is a men’s spa on Marlborough Street in Sandy Hill. They offer a lot of spa services specially catered to guys (services so specialized that the owners give seminars across the continent aboutthem. Whoa.). The location is pretty cool too considering it is in the basement of the former Italian embassy and two of the treatment rooms are actually inside what was previously a safe (original door still intact).

Some photos from George Eastman House

The George Eastman House photo collections contain some of the most amazing photos since the early days of photography. About a year ago, I spent quite a while browsing the pages and collected these following images as some of my faves.

NB: If you’re in Ottawa tonight, I’ll be photoboothing at Babylon Nightclub from about 11pm-2am.
