for all of you who have been following my site for some time now will remember this site. it was the orginal blog i had with my first work and alot of BC. I got shut down some time ago and once it was back up the layout and format are all over the place. thus, blogspot is the vent point for my work now. if your bored, take a gander thorugh.

while your at it, ive added a new link on the side.
Scott Pligrim's blog site sojourn-al, pretty rad give it a look. also check his flickr if you can find it. he has a book being published oct 22nd. mad props

lazy

so i need to get my act together. and focus on school. althought i have got two assignments back so far. ive got a 92% and a 80% thus far. still i need to knuckle down.

dino-mite

still have inconsistent internet at home, so im taking advantage while at school and double posting.

spider battle

spiders dueling it out on my back deck in orangeville. in second photo the other spider is hiding in the bottom right corner area on the brick.

i was 3 hours early for school today, i sucked. seems i only have one early class instead of two.

foot print

i dont have internet at home yet and i dont have school tomorrow so im gonna post another photo today, for tomorrow. this is inspired by another photographer i enjoy and admire, but with jaj steez. enjoy

Back to School

So, it has been four years since i have stepped foot in a classroom. But, the time has come and i am now currently in my second week of being a full time student of the university of guelph-humber. At first, i felt back at highschool. You must take into account the majority of kids here are 17 and 18 fresh outta highschool, i am in first year. I'm sitting in class surrounded by facebookers and txt conversations happening about the party the night before. But now in the second week that's still there but ive kinda found my niche. Yes, i may be a bit of a loner.... i keep to my self, go to class, do my readings and go home. But i love it. I feel as if im already accomplishing stuff rather than say 'going through the motions of first year'. I'm not messing about with the uni crap like rez and student body. I've made all the mistakes most of the kids here are stoked to make in the coming year, and learned from them. so there is far less for me to worry about and i can expand my knowleadge without distration. There are still some interesting people here, dont get me wrong. But at the end of the day, i have my friends i have a whole life out side of school. So unless someone were to blow me away to the point where i would want to introduce them to the other people in my life, its not that i dont care but im not perticularly worried nor am i going to put a lot of effort into building that colleugeship.

My classes are dope and i like all my teachers. My mass communitcation prof reminds me of stephain so much, he's awesome. Ok, enough about me here are some photos. enjoy.

oh yeah so i know ive been saying this for a while but i am in school now (for media studies and photography if you didn't already know) so pictures should come far more frequently. They better, right? I am in photograhpy! here's hopeing i stay true to myself this time.

trousers

so i got my new ipod in the mail today, stoked.

rawr

4 weeks till school.....i have way to much on. work, school, finding a place to live, events to organize, finding a car. i bought a computer! blah blah here is a photo.

jaj?

who am i?



so im kicking my case of SADS, as the snow melts and the sun comes out, so do i and so does my camera. went for a stroll the other day and was accompanied by two lovely models whom i took advantage of. it as been awhile since ive posted, i hope you like these.

SLACK!

I have been the biggest slacker these past two months. I haven't taken a photo I haven't done anything.

Work is really taking up my time, we're in the midst of a sale (which never happens) and I am in the middle of my major buying season for snow and fall of next year, which is a new thing and while I am loving it, it is different and im finding it challenging.

On a good note, although I may not of been actively taking photos lately I have been actively making efforts to other things related. I have been accepted to the University of Guelph Humber media studies program in the photography stream. I will be starting in Sept 08. It is a four year program but I graduate with a honors degree in media studies and a diploma in creative photography. I am so excited. Oh ya, as a mandatory part of the program I have to buy a new camera, which is the Nikon D300(sick!!).....student loan here we come.

Its been awhile so a little update post for those of you who still look. Photos will return soon enough.

thanks for caring

Whipper Snapper

After work this evening I went home got changed and then headed on down to Toronto to the whipper snapper gallery where several photographers were showing their work. One inperticular was Sam Javanrouh, the the man behind the award winning photoblog Daily Dose of Imagery or ddoi at wvs.topleftpixel.com (that's right it does say wvs not www, it's sam backwards and upside down). Nobody wanted to go with me, they all had something far better or more important to do so it's ok. I had to go by myself, got in grab myself a beer and cruised around the room loosing myself in the pictures for a go couple mins each. Eventually i went to buy a book which he was all out of so i have to wait and email him, but i got to meet him shake his hand and talk briefly with the man you inspired me to start photography and well as strange as it is changed my life i would be doing what im doing or going the direction i am going if it weren't for him and his website. After that i left and met up with emily and kris and her friend megan. went for a drink or two and then i went home, and here i am. Amazing nite, landmark, milestone whatever u wish to call it, tonigt was one of them. Oh ya, bottom picture, tan jacket....guess who?

ps keep a look out for a moguls website coming out soon. gonna be sweet!

I didn't take these. Special Thanks to Jim Waddington for these wonderful photos as well as all the help and guidance along the way with getting this event going. thank you to every one who made it out. to the Anny Jam. Thank you repset.net and the town of orangeville, if it weren;t for them we never would of had this event. Oh ya and Mogul's Holla! Great fun for all and then after i went down to the city to see emily and support someone else's event/party in the city. had a blast. solid weekend, thanks world!

andrew on the roof, to the left is a roof top pool that seconds after i took this we were still a little goofy from the nite before so we decided to jump in and go for a swim in our boxers and air dry over looking the city on the roof. so sweet

rogers finally got their act together and hooked up t & a's cable, internet & phone after having internet and phone, getting the cable hooked up and loosing the phone and net, then because they'd much rather have net then cable, getting the phone hooked back up only for nothing to work, and then 2 weeks for them to come back and hook everything up properly. so this in celebration of that.

warhol

tierney is become quite the regular on the site lately. her and my brother are going to start competing i bet

t dot

happy thanksgiving weekend everyone, happy birthday tj (yesterday) and femke's on the third but her party is tonight.

sisters

tierney's going to be pissed that i posted this, especially cause it's with a good shot of kaylea. i still think its sweet and that's all that matters. don't worry tea you still look good.

Wedding Footwear

vange and i both choose unique footwear for jen and jay's wedding. vange went out and got her self a pedicure, while i had to venture down to the city days before to get a nice fresh clean pair of converse to wear in jay's honour. he wanted to wear them but his darling wife wouldn't have it. ps moguls has picked up converse and it will be in the store starting in spring 2008. now u don't have to go to the city to get the classic canvas shoe that turns 100 years old next year, timeless.

wearing the cons got me quite a lot of attention at the wedding on more than one occasion i was talking to people and they thought i was some rock star or something along the lines.....is it that obvious?

Lumber Jack

Dan Mcnaney

Dan rides for me at the shop, one of my mini shred army. He's dope and the first of all the guys to get hooked up. He came to me long ago with a short VHS of some flip tricks and some cool manis and slides on parking blocks and stuff. I told i liked what i saw and he had alot of potential, keep working at it and we'll see. A year later, my predictions were correct. boy progressed like no other and stepped it up mad. first one to come on board, he's mad chill and loves skateboarding more than his own life so since this is my blog and im allowed to do what i want, im not posting a picture today, cause i wanna hype my man Dan. here's a short clip of a backside flip down the Mormon 6.

art fag

taken from a jackastors patio in toronto, brief pit stop for a beer on our journey to retrieve my car which was towed the nite before on labour day weekend. kaylea's birthday dinner party was last nite. lots of fun, stephane made it down from guelph, emily also made it down from the city. good times had by all, delicious food professional prepared by our resident gourmet chef andrew. i was sick all day yesterday but took it easy and rested all day and by the second course i was still a little tender but was able to party and enjoyed the food with out it comeing back up.

we are all art fags
