Better Than Crabs

So I don’t really update the blog anymore — there’s things on the way, I got busy, the house got fixed-ish etc etc. But it’s tradition for me to post about Domino and his birthday, so here it is. Domino is 3 today. Does anyone remember when we were talking about picking him out? It seemed like yesterday.

Domino has also informed me that it’s never to late to get him biscuits, balls, steak, meat, cheese, ribs, bones, cookies or any other edible item.

Here’s some pics from days past:

The new full gallery is up, check it out and let me know what you think.

I’m really digging this set and it makes me want to get out more again.  I’ve been too far and few in between shots.  (that sentence sure doesn’t make sense)

This past Saturday the Superior Community Skatepark Association with the help of the Algoma University Students’ Union and Crank Sound put on a battle of the bands to help raise funds for the skate park. It’s been awhile since I shot so I headed to this good cause to get back into the swing of things. Below is the first batch gallery of some of the shots from the night. There are more to come and I’ll post again when they come.

Battle of the Bands Gallery

I shot the Inner City Surfers last gig at Foggy Notions this past Saturday. This is a quick post to direct you towards the gallery. Feel free to come back here and let me know what you think.

So I haven’t blogged anywhere in a long time and when I do it’s brief updates.  There are lots of changes coming down the line though.

For the first new development I’m looking at turning my photography into its own business.  Right now attached to Murderfly Multimedia I mainly target bands as they are not affected by the name at all but for the general public I’ll have a separate photography entity.  Same great shots, new great name, new photo specific site.

Considering I’m doing this I’ll need to build my portfolio in a timely matter and nobody benefits from this more than you.  If you need photos for any of the following reasons or fit into a category contact me in any way you can (comment here, email, phone, instant message):

• recently engaged
• promo shots for your band
• recently married and want to try a Trash the Dress session  (your dress does not need to be “trashed” for this
• promo work for yourself, fun outdoor shots for friends/family/etc

From here other new developments is redefining what this blog will be.  It’ll get a face lift and probably lose all it’s old content.  Streamlining it a bit more.  Murderfly Multimedia will also get a make over as it hasn’t been touched in over a year either.

Once again, stay tuned and hopefully as I progress forward you’ll come along for the ride with me.

Here’s a couple of quick shots from the 12 Musicians of Christmas show from Dec 27. I just upgraded my OS to Leopard about a week ago and still do not have my batch processing set up so the full gallery will come later (as I’m too lazy right now). So enjoy this quick take on the night and don’t be afraid to let me know what you think.

I cannot embed Funny or Die videos into the blog so check it out here:

I shot the Sault’s newest metal band Time or Ruin on Friday, November 23rd at Foggy Notions. I wasn’t too big a fan of the shots that I had so decided to play with a bit of post processing techniques that I wanted to learn. I think the results are acceptible for a first try at it and at major post processing as well.

So did you miss me?

It has definitely been a long time since I blogged last (over two months).  A lot has happened since then to say the least and here’s the quick run down of it.

• I’m now full time at my job
• I saw the Packers play at Lambeau again this year - they won this time
• The Packers are 10-2
• I proposed to Jes at Lambeau
• I’m expanding my photography into the wedding market — as well as other “people” type photography

And that’s been pretty much it.  The hounds are great, the house is still coming together with more renovations here and there but the snow putting a damper on that now.

Lots of things to do and say in the future.  I’ll be here more frequently from now on if people are still around and care.
