A few weekends ago I had the pleasure of working with photographer Andrew Macpherson. Even if you don’t know the name you’ll definitely recognize his celebrity and music work – just take a look at his website http://www.macfly.com
Andrew was in town to shoot publicity stills of Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum for their upoming movie “The Vow”.
I captured this image on our pre-light day while the crew was walking back from a test shot. Andrew had hoped to take a few shots of Rachel and Channing outside but on the day of the shoot the weather was overcast and rainy. However, it wasn’t a total loss for Andrew as he did managed to grab a shot of a “sun dog”, an intriguing atmospheric phenomenon which he further describes on his blog at http://macfly.com/2010/10/sun-dog-in-toronto/
Location was Pinewood Studios. All equipment was provided by S1group.ca
What an unexpectedly beautiful day in Toronto. After work I headed to The Brazen Head Pub to meet up with my girlfriend and take in some of the Magenta Foundation’s Flash Forward Photography Festival taking place at 171 Liberty St in Liberty Village.
Along the way I stopped to snap this shot. You know winter is around the corner when the shadows are this long at 5:30 PM.
Today’s round counts as two: first and (likely) last of the summer.
Cheers to Ben, Chris and Kurt for making it happen.
Several years ago my girlfriend and I began keeping a journal of all the wines we try.
It’s not very professional or scientific – it wouldn’t impress a sommelier, but I find it very rewarding to be able to look back on several years worth of bottles and the meals and experiences they were paired with.
A while back a read a statistic that said 95% of the wine sold by the LCBO is consumed within two hours of purchase. And, in my opinion, likely forgotten within three.
To me this is a fun way to remember.
