Midweek Halloween @ Mercury Lounge
Having Halloween on Saturday is awesome because life kind of turns into HalloWEEK! Party #1 was last night. Click the banner for the gallery if you dare…
Today’s a day off (kind of?) and then I start doing Mustaches for Kids(!) stuff tomorrow night and then Halloween will be spent in a little death on Cumberland.
Nite Ride video
Did the Nite Ride on Friday. Some of the photos I shot for Artengine got used in a video…
Nite Ride is running all week. Don’t miss it!
On Saturday, I biked over to la rue Hanson in Hull to visit Justin Wonnacott’s studio, which is upstairs from galerie AXENÉO7 in the old Hanson Hoisery building. Amidst the good conversation, there was also a very impressive array of snacks which provided the fuel necessary to bike home across Booth Street bridge. Hull pour vie.
Wednesday night, I’m taking photos at a Halloween party at Mercury Lounge in Ottawa and then again on Halloween night at La Petite Mort Gallery. Show up in an awesome disguise and step in front of my lens.
Cell phone photos
I have a 5-megapixel camera in my phone. A little excessive and it pretty much sucks in low light but if I’m close enough to something, I can use the flash (which I hate using except as a flashlight sometimes). Here are three photos of stuff I found this month…
The Gatineau Hills like you have never heard them before
I don’t have a copy yet but these were printed with photos I was commissioned to take for a rad event called Nite Ride. It starts tomorrow.
From Artengine’s website:
From October 23rd to October 31st Artengine will present these new audio works on a 5.1 surround sound bus tour designed by the artists themselves. Starting from Arts Court a tour bus equipped with a special stereo system will take passengers on a creative driving experience unlike any other. The routes and sounds, designed and scored by two of Canada’s most innovative sound artists, will fuse sound sculpture and a cinematic road trip into a lush hour-long tour of the Ottawa-Gatineau area.
Sounds good, right? I actually think it might end up being kind of scary. I can’t wait! Vroom vroom.
Here are a few more shots from our Nite Drive poster photo sesh… You sort of have to double check when your client says “I want blurry photos.”

L’Halloween arrive avec une petite mort
Pretty excited about this. For Halloween (one of the best holidays after Decemberween), I’ve been asked to take portraits at Galerie La Petite Mort’s Fourth Anniversary party. There’ll also be a one night exhibit of these photos sometime in the weeks that follow Halloween (details to come).
This is special not only because Halloween falls on a Saturday night this year but I’ll be finding myself among rather good and talented company.
Here are two photos from the summer:
My pal Rio at House of Paint. On most days, you can find him making Led Zeppelin-inspired tea flavours in the Byward Market.
Lac Heney makes relax.
Xtra & Nuit Blanche
I have the cover of the latest Capital Xtra. Read about Faizal Deen.
Here’s a two-hour timelapse I took of the CN Tower during Nuit Blanche. Some friends were responsible for this installation. It really was a brilliant accomplishment.
While I remember them, I might also post some funny moments from the weekend on Twitter.
Zombie Disco Squad
Zombie Disco Squad from London/Berlin flew to Ottawa on Friday to play some beats. Click for photos.
The rest of the weekend was spent in Toronto for Nuit Blanche. Still putting the night’s pieces together. We nearly died about four times on the drive home.
