It's Called "Photographer's Block"...

...and I checked in awhile ago.

NEWS

I will be showing some new work and selling some yearbooks at SAW Gallery in Ottawa on June 13th for the Ottawa Explosion festival. More details when I get them! I do know that The Men, METZ and Pregnancy Scares will be playing the event. It will be fun!

The video I shot for TEENANGER is up and out and soon enough will be viewable on The Wedge over at Muchmusic on your t.v screens. Next up: HELL SHOVEL.


This is a peek of a zine I put out last week. It was for a show that Ty Segall/White Fence/ Strange Boys/ Teenanger played at the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto, ON. Most epic lineup of the year. Limited edition of 50, hand numbered and features candy colours and 11 band shots.

TORONTO THAW THAW'D TORONTO

Toronto is a great city. The bands in it are great and the friends too. Telephone Explosion is a damned great label, and they put on the most fun festival to date. Every band that matters played over 3 days at 3 different venues. It was like a punch to the feeble throat of CMW. It was truly a weekend of all weekends.

Welcome to spring in the city, boys and girls.

Oh yeah, check out this EYE WEEKLY article about the festival that Rich Trapunski wrote. They don't like to "do" photo credits, but those are mine if you couldn't tell. Except the last one of METZ, that's David Waldman's.
