Flight of the Conchords

So for our anniversary Sonia and I had dinner planned and then had tickets to see Appleseed Cast. Last minute, like hours before the show, a friend of Sonia's called to tell her that he found someone selling tickets to see Flight of the Conchords at Massey Hall that night! We had tried to get tickets earlier and were unable. We jumped at the chance, canceled our dinner plans and a sold the tickets to Scott so that an epic evening of Appleseed wasn't wasted. So amazing! Front row! I don't know how Sonia and I keep hooking up front row seats to everything lately but I like it. The best one year anniversary ever.
Plenty more photos on Flickr.

A cast member of the show, Eugene, did a stand up set before the Conchords went on and it was hilarious. He told a story of atrocious service when traveling on Delta Airlines. They lost his bags and then there was a 10 week fiasco that went on for him to eventually get his bags back, which he ended up doing himself by driving to some strangers house where Delta delivered the bags by mistake. At the end he handed out post cards for everyone to send to Delta to assist in venting his angry to the airline. I have attached a copy below for you to see. All in all great memories.

One Year

It is Sonia and my one year anniversary today.

Creative Expression

Sonia and I utilized our Sunday off to thoroughly clean our apartment. We rearranged our plants and made a sweet little turn-table garden set up. On Friday we went and saw Woodhands at the Phoenix, we took a couple photos before going out as our little form of creative expression.

Unknown Pleasures

I have finished exams for my first year of uni and while most people are celebrating by getting wasted, I chose to buy myself a new record. Picked up Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures from Rotate, a needed addition to the collection. This is by far a top 10 record of all time in my mind and it sounds great on vinyl.

.....more film

I finally finished and developed and old film that has been in my camera since last summer! You can really see a change in my photography since I shot this stuff, at least I think so. Anyways, I got the pictures burnt to a CD when I got them developed and the CD didn't work. So, I unpacked my new scanner-printer-beast my dad hooked up when picking up my camera and scanned a selection of the film. Just like the good old days when I first start posting and I had to Photoshop out the particles of dust that were on the underside of the glass because it was such an old scanner. Fortunately, I don't have to do that any more, just some level adjustments. As always, more on Flickr.

Old Stuff

I've made mention to this and linked it before, but I have added my old/original blog to the links at the side. I started it in May 2006 and used it for about year until it went offline temporarily because of some copyright infringement with the host's site name. And when it came back on line the layout of the site was all wack and disorderly. So I ditched it in April 2007, went blogless for a month and then started this one in June of 2007. At one time I used to update the old one everyday, almost. If you have time, take a look through (please excuse the awful format). It's kinda cool, there are photos from when I first started to really get into photography. Due to the pressure of posting everyday there is some junk on there and some boring stuff, but I also kept it going while I lived out west at Big White as a snowboard photographer, so it's kind of a little photo journal of that too. Not to mention, other than the stuff from BC it's all film. You can view it HERE or just click on the link to the right.

UPDATE: Sonia and I just went on wiki and figured out what the building said..... DREAM

Heads Will Rendevous

self portrait. originally posted Aug 17 2007

So as most of you may know, I have a set of turn tables that I play with on occasion and love collecting new vinyl. Well, I got the Virtual DJ software and have being doing some 'disc jockeying' on my comp which is very difficult seeing as I don't have monitors/headphones and have to do everything with the track pad and keyboard, no hardware. Anyways I recently got the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs album It's Blitz, Sonia and I were listening to Heads Will Roll last night and both thought that it could likely be a very remixed song. So today after school I came home did some cleaning up and popped down in front of the computer and remixed it myself with Cut Copy - Rendevous. I'm new at it, and it's still no where near perfect I am fully aware but for an amateur who's had the program just over a week I think its... o k, I'm just wasting time at home by myself. Give it a listen for yourself and don't tell me what you think, ok well you can if you want but I'm just having some fun with this so I don't care that much about constructive criticism on this one. Don't let me stop you though. It's just so much fun. You can listen to and/or download it HERE>

Kensington

Had to take some pictures for a school assignment in Kensington. Great... the most cliche and played out place to shoot. Once I got over the original negative stigma of walking around with a huge expensive camera taking photos, looking like the biggest tourist in a city I live in! It wasn't so bad and I had a lot of fun and got a few cool shots. More on my Flickr
