Food for Thought

For the last month-and-a-bit, I have been working at a couple wineries in Niagara on the Lake. Jackson Triggs is the one I work at most often. They have a cool little food and wine pairing thinger called Flights and Bites. Essentially you get three wines paired with three foods. The photos below are of the white pairing. Served on a little wooden plank is:  Roasted asparagus and confit shallot salad with goat cheese mousse, roasted red pepper soup with icewine cured bacon, and a lobster salad with gomes tomatoes in a toasted bun. I am hoping to be able to do some more food photography at JT and Inniskillin before I move!

the Bends @ S.C.E.N.E. Music Festival, 24/06/2012

This was my first year at S.C.E.N.E. Why it is only my first time, I do not know. Apparently I had no life up until the past year. I would have tried to get a media pass, if I had known that such a thing existed prior to watching the pros go backstage to shoot. I mainly went to shoot the Bends, and the media pass wasn't necessary at their show. They played a fantastic set (as per usual) at Cache, and it was a blast to shoot. Here  are some highlights from the show.

the Bends @ Mansion House, 09/06/2012

the Bends played at the Mansion House last Saturday. They played a great set, as always. Despite the stage being flooded with some horrible green light, I managed to get some good shots. Bad venues really teach you a lot. 

Here are a few shots from the night.

Award Winning Work

My photograph, Late Winter Night, won an award for Best in Photography at my school board's annual Graduate Art Show. I'm feeling pretty great about it!

Battle of the Bands - 05/23/2012

I had the pleasure adventure of shooting my high school's Battle of the Bands on Wednesday. It was, a learning experience.

Winning band, the Bends had some tricks up their sleeves.

The show was great. All six of the performing bands played great sets. Hit the jump for a few more shots from the night.

More Abstract

I love shooting this kind of stuff. Really interesting to watch and edit. These are photographs of milk being dripped/poured into water. More after the jump.

Making a Mess

My hands are stained blue and red from the food dye I was using.

This shoot was more of an experimental shoot than anything. I have not worked with high-speed photography of water before. I plan to revisit this shoot sometime soon with a better set up and such. Anyway, here are some of the better frames from the set. Enjoy.
