After looking through the archives for an image I needed to update, I came across a show I particularly enjoyed, and figured I would dust off some of the images and share them. This set is from New Years 2010, and features an eclectic Vancouver band, The Dreadnoughts. The shot I was looking for to update is at the end of the post, and remains one of my favorite concert catches.
90s Hiphop group De La Soul stopped in Vancouver on an international tour, and had Local legend Chin Injeti and the Hastings Set (Sophia Danai and Omar Khan) with them. Was definitely an interesting show, and great being back shooting concerts, as I haven’t done as many this year as 2012 and 2011
Only the second time I have been able to tag ‘Travel’ for a blog post since I’ve been running this straightfromcamera.com site, and it was but a day trip. I have to say I found Kelowna a tad bit boring, but perhaps I didn’t spend enough time there. It was a good trip, though, as I got to spend it with the girlfriend.
Pastime Sports and Games, the store I cover these events for opened up shop an impressive 20 years ago, and wanted to celebrate with a bang. Cue former Vancouver Giant, and NHL Rookie Brendan Gallagher, who resides here off season. Brendan is the first hockey star I have photographed who is actually younger than I am. Seven years to be exact! He was a pleasure to deal with, and will do great things in his career.
Earlier today we went down to the annual show and shine. I wanted to do something a little different from my usual stuff, so I took an abstract look at approach to some of my favorites. If you look closely you’ll be able to pick out a few Mustangs, which have long since been my car of choice (I have a 67 2dr Coupe). Enjoy this rather large post!
Even older than the last post is this set of images. Back in 2009, when I was still relatively new to professional photography, I got an assignment from Pressphotointernational to shoot the Vancouver Peace Summit and The Dalai Lama in dialogue with other Nobel Laureates. It was definitely an amazing experience, and one day I would absolutely love to photograph him again.
