oh Winnipeg...

I am so ready for the wamth of summer to arrive. As much as I love a good snowstorm I think we've endured more than enough cold for one winter in this city. Can you believe that it was -22C yesterday?! I thought it was supposed to be March already? Well, I don't like the cold, thats a given but I do love snow. So winter and I have a kind of love hate relationship. So, cozy up by a fire, cause here are some photos from this winter that I've taken

Packed to the brim with eager fans ready to raise their fist and scream along to their favorite bands the show friday night at the Albert couldn’t possibly have been any better. The party lasted from the first band to the last and would have kept going if only the bar didn’t close at 2am. A few of us loitered till about 3 not wanting to go home quite yet, cleaning up the stage, wiping the beer from our faces and scraping the gum off our shoes and finally leaving with big smiles. Put on by Sidelined Productions the night started with Talk City, Making Waves, No More Heroes and finishing with Asado. How could you not go when the line up is this good?!

P is for Portrait

I am so lucky to know some really awesome people that would let me practice my portrait skills on them :) They are such good sports! Brad and I ended up hanging out on three separate days taking environmental portraits in two different kitchens and one beautiful dining area in the restaurant that he works at. He is clearly a masterful chef and was a blast to work with. (I will be posting some of those photos later on as they were taken with film and are not quite ready yet.) We took some head shots as well on his sisters wonderfully rustic stairwell (with the digi).

Next Paul, Liz and I had some fun in the studio at PrairieVeiw. It was my first time trying out the space on my own and it went pretty well I think. I usually like to work outside or use natural lighting but I wanted to test the studio waters. Amanda helped me set up my lights and Paul brought his ipod and we were off. I think we laughed (and sang) pretty much the whole time. good times...
