Time lapses
Been having fun with lime lapses lately.
Here’s one taken from my friend’s 32nd floor condo in Toronto during Nuit Blanche. 28 photos of the CN Tower shot over two hours. Big ups to Ryan Stec.

The second is a bit an overview of the Halloween party I took photos at. Five hours in five minutes interspliced with 38 of my favourite photos of the night. If you came to the exhibit, you might have seen this video projected into the window of La Petite Mort.

This last one was done this week. It’s kind of like the CN Tower one where it’s more for experimenting purposes but at the same time, I think it makes a nice document at the same time. There was a meteor shower this week and while my camera caught some stars, meteors, it did not. Luckily I did see one with my own eyes and boy oh boy did I wish on it!

Stylusts & weekend wrap up…
First weekend of November was crazy busy. Friday night, I was chilling at Babylon with my boy Tom Wrecks, who was performing with Drastik and Illo as The Stylusts. Cashtro was partying too.
Afterwards, I stayed up all night editing a video for my one night exhibit at La Petite Mort Gallery. It isn’t often that I show work in this way so huge thanks to everyone who was able to make it out! I liked being able to invite my friends for a drink in a gallery instead of a bar for once. The photos might stay up till Thursday or something but the gallery is closed Monday and Tuesday. A lot of people who couldn’t make it are asking if images will be posted online anywhere. We’re sorting that out but in case you didn’t already see it, a image from the show:
Got a few things coming down the tube which is very, very nice and appreciated. Winter’s not even here and I’m already thinking of spring and summer 2010.
Last night, I finally got to sit on my couch for first time in about a month (long story) and watched some movies by Michel Brault and Claude Jutra. One of them was called Entre la mer et l’eau douce (1967) and the last one I watched was Rouli-roulant (1966, English title: Devil’s Toy).
This movie might be one of the first Canadian skateboard videos ever made and it ends with a great song sung by the actress Geneviève Bujold. I don’t think it was ever properly released so I made an mp3 from the DVD. Please listen and let us know what you think of this quiet québécois pop song about skateboarding.

DEVIL’S NIGHT: exhibit this Saturday
Halloweek is done! Still sort of piecing together parts of Saturday night. I spent about 90% of it on top of a ladder and photographed about 100 people. Huge thanks to everyone who came out!
From these photos, I’m having a one-night exhibit at galerie La Petite Mort in Ottawa this Saturday, November 7.
So, I’m having an art show. Please come. It won be the same without you
le samedi 7 novembre 2009 de 19h à 22h.
galerie La Petite Mort Gallery
306, rue Cumberland Street
Ottawa (Ontario) K1N 7H9
Here’s a sample. Still sort of a work in progress. Mounting a show a week after the photos are taken…Tonnes of work to do before Saturday!
While I’m at it, here are two photos I took on Friday during a Clean Shave Day event for Mustaches for Kids.
What a pair of fresh faces!
