USER VIDEO

A lot of the shooting for the documentary video about USER is in the
can. But there are still bits and pieces to pick up and some gaps to
be filled. Plus, we’re still trying to line up interviews with people who
don’t like the work. (Please drop me a line if you don’t like the work
and want to be in the video…..Ottawa only please. I promise I won’t
take it personally.)

Here are a few point + shoot shots I took of some of the video frames
on Ben’s monitor:

Laurie, Me, Cheryl, Jennifer and Bubbles

Emily Falvey and Guy Berube

And here’s one and a half minutes Ben and I cobbled together a couple
of days ago. Sorry about the bad sound….we still have to fine tune that.

SPAO OPEN HOUSE

I was thinking the other day……where would Ottawa be without SPAO?

That school is turning into a destination for foto-related events; it’s invigorating
the Ottawa foto scene and creating discourse. Thank you.

Last Friday they had their annual open house and a gazillion people showed
up. Everyone was there: students, moms and dads, brothers and sisters,
commercial and art shooters, ad agency folks and so on and so forth. A
fine time was had by all.

SACHA THE SINGER

Shot Sacha Gabriel Mary Hebbert the other day. We banged on her door and
she answered wearing a sweater and pantyhose…..my kind of gal.

LINK

Every so often I have a look at my web stats. I’m pleased to announce that
over the past 6 months I’ve been averaging 445.92 visits a day.

Of course I always check out who’s looking, who’s linking and so on. This week
I noticed a link from Montreal photographer Aislinn Leggett’s blog. Being the kind
of guy I am, I go to check it out. You should, too…..she’s got good taste. And
I don’t say that just because she featured me. I say it because her blog is a
compendium of other photographers’ work that mostly really turns my crank.
