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
This panorama is my first ever iphone panorama and it was made with the PanoLab app by Originate.

At first I wished I could’ve gotten closer before snapping a shot, but upon review I couldn’t be happier with what I managed to catch.
An unquestionable archetype of the hipster stereotype (plaid shirt, ironic throwback baseball cap, moustache) trailed by his hip-HOP-ster counterpart in the midst of a slacker Abbey Road Crosswalk strut.
I live for these moments.

Toronto is still undefeated. Seems as good a time as any – schedules be damned!
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.
Remember two things:
1) On a fashion shoot this is not considered weird;
2) No one talks back to a man in a mask.
My girlfriend, Diana Carreiro (her blog DianaCarreiro.com is pictured here on three iPads), finally made the plunge and bought a Mac today.
A perfect end to a long day on-set.
The way this back light edges me I almost look heroic.
