video

2006-09-20T20:48:00.000-07:00

Well well well... I have done it, shot my very first video and let me tell you, I have a LOT to learn. I blame all camera shake on a loose screw in the tripod, and then the fact that the camera is too small to stead on my shoulder while I walked around.

I had done a voice over at the start of the movie, but apparently forgot to plug the mic in, so my boss Irv had to re-do it for me while I was on days off.

I have yet to view it because for whatever reason my computer doesn't seem to want to properly load the clip. I haven't figured out why, but I'm not that worried, as I don't ever watch quick time videos to begin with :)

Here's the link, my video is the seminar discussing web safety.

Richard Gasquet, a sudden surprise for the final game knocking Nadal out of the match earlier on in the week.
(he was always doing something weird with his left hand, didn't make for pretty pictures like Federer!)

Roger Federer's ability was put to the test in the first set against Gasquet, but came back in the second set to win the Rogers Cup Tournament at York University's Rexall Centre Sunday August 13.

Roger Federer came back from a first set loss to win 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 over Richard Gasquet. Gasquet played a tough game, and none the less admitted that he was happy just to play. "What can I say, he is the world number one player, I did my best!" Gasquet declares in the closing speeches. Federer has now reclaimed the cup which he originally won in Toronto two years ago.

Taste of the Danforth

2006-08-13T20:02:00.000-07:00

I love all the summer festivals we have in Toronto that are entirely centerd around food, namely meat. Taste of Danforth was hard to shoot becuase it was difficult to stop eating for more than 5 minutes at a time, but I managed. What more could I ask for than an entire street festival of pork and chicken on a stick, and in a pita with tzatziki? I could ask for a few less people in my way for starters... A few of my favourites.

A whole whack load of people clogged Danforth Ave Friday night through Sunday evening to enjoy a taste of everything they had to offer.

My gorgeous meat-eating girlfriends Marissa, left and Tanya enjoy a little gyros at Logan and Danforth from the best stall there was, Mezzi.

Chariot Festival

2006-07-22T15:41:00.000-07:00

I had an amazing assignment this morning to document the Hindu Chariot Festival, day 13 of a 14 day event. There were hundreds and hundreds of people present, and the sea of faces and colour almost made the job of taking pictures quite easy. A few that I love, but we'll see what they publish!

Ganesh Kugan, 4, peeks out into the crowd from behind his mother and family.

Camphor is lit, and guides the way for the Chariot. Camphor signifies a loss of obstacles, and ensures that all negative occurences throughout the year are burned away.

Kids at the Circus

2006-07-15T16:54:00.000-07:00

I had to cover the Shriners Circus in Toronto this weekend. I couldn't get enough of all the kids, they love it! And they really love candy... of all kinds really. All my favorite pics are of the kids, portraits more so. Conveniently, kids are a subject that my paper loves! Terrible lighting, changing colours every three seconds and a constant moving spotlight, holy god, that was hard.

New York New York

2006-07-13T17:16:00.000-07:00

Vendors at every corner, hot dogs, pretzles and pop in a can... who doesn't love NY?

A weird man selling weird things in a weird jacket outside MOMA. I thought it was interesting that he was sitting in front of a car that said MAD across the side. MOMA was having a special presentation of the exhibit DADA. You can imagine the smile on my face, those kinds of literary jokes crack me up. Unfortunately they were not kidding.

Bird Feeder

2006-07-03T15:22:00.000-07:00

Back in the game... I took a little unexpected break, much needed I guess after portfolio time. I start my job soon so I've vowed to spend the next week or so snapping away getting my finger excercised back into shape.

I met a new friend in the park today in Toronto at Degrassi St. "Scotty" goes every day from 3-5pm to feed the birds. He admits it's simply cause it's better than watching the bube tube all afternoon. He seems to know most birds by name, explaining how he tells them apart by their markings. Some birds have been coming to him every day for over 4 years. This was a big feat for me as I am terrified of birds. Particularly pigeons... One white one, blondie he calls it, I had to be on the lookout for. Scottie says that he gets very protective over his peanuts and will probably peck me if I got too close. Sweet. I kept my eye on him.
