  • Toronto Strobist Group meets at Ryerson

    Yesterday TSG (Toronto Strobist Group) had their 3rd meeting at the Rogers Communications Centre. Lots of new faces, lots of new ideas. I definitely learned alot and generally had a blast. Got to try some of my homemade equipment which was kinda cool and also got to try my hands at shooting some fake kick…

  • Portrait Session – Fruits and Flowers

    Just finished adding the final touches to the pics from a recent fashion/portrait shoot I attended/organized at Ryerson. The shoot actually happened on May 24, 2008, but since I was in Vancouver for a week I didn’t get a chance to work on them. The theme was loosely based on flowers and fruits, but once…

  • Lego-mania

    Came across this earlier on flickr….Very creative work done by Mike Stimpson. This guy is fantastic and his Lego recreations of important moments in history are really neat. definitely worth checking out.

  • We went nuclear today…..

    Today the Toronto Strobists Groups meetup finally came and went and I think I walked away with a good harvest of frames. I don’t know what it is about the gas mask — maybe the fact that it totally hides familiar human features or maybe just the fact that I’ve watched too many movies —…

  • NAB2008 – Trip to Arizona and New Mexico

    Well this trip was by far the longest one we’ve (the three amigos) have taken. The Flickr set is here if you don’t want to read about the details below. It all started about a year ago when I found out about the Black Hole company in Los Alamos, a recycler of “nuclear waste” that…

  • Expo Galore……

    Browsing through Flickr sets I came across ninecormorants sets from Montreal Expo 1967 and New York Expo 1964. Believe it or not these photos were found on the street in Cambridge, MA. They were originally glued onto scrapbook sheets. They are all originals and as far as he can tell were taken by Lillian Seymour.…

  • Orton Technique……

    You can almost immediately tell Orton modified images. They have a dreamy look to them, with soft blurs, hard edges and are well saturated. Michael Orton developed this technique in slide film. Here is a excellent page describing how you can make your own Orton modified images. There is a entire flickr group dedicated to…

  • Toronto Strobist Group meets at Ryerson

    Well, the TSG had it’s first meetup at Ryerson. Our theme was Film Noir Inspired. I decided to turn my shots to B&W as I’m still in my Black and White world :-) Here is a couple of shots to start, more on flickr.

  • TPMG visits Toronto Aerospace Museum (B&W)

    This happened a while back — almost two weeks ago — and I’ve kinda been sitting on the idea of doing them in Black and White. Well, I finally decided and finished them today. I’m also trying something new with the border and “fancy dancy” copyright text. Enjoy :-) BTW. If the full size model…

  • More Black and White….

    This is what happens when I really like something (B&W) and get to have a uninterrupted 5 day holiday (been slacking-off since thursday….hehehe). These shots were taken during the TPMG’s (Toronto Photographers Meetup Group) recent meetup at the Distillery District. Originally in colour, I have to admit that the B&W treatment is more appropriate IMHO.…
