Hi f/action followers, sorry we have been a bit slow on the posts lately... we've been planning two exciting upcoming exibitions! The first one is right around the corner - more info to follow soon!One of my favourite things to with my camera is live performance shooting. I've been lucky enough to team up with
http://www.guttersnipenews.com/ - a vancouver-based online entertainment news and reviews site - to check out and document many great local and visiting bands here in Winnipeg. Our local concert reviewer, Eugene Osudar, is the animated dancing machine many of you have no doubt seen in action out on the music scene. Eugene is known for his free-flowing, lyrical style reviews of live shows - any many muscians are beginning to crave a write-up for thier CDs and other publications. Check out Euguene at

Eugene teams up with several local Winnipeg photographers (since none of us can keep up with his crazy show-going schedule!), and we colour the review with images of the live act. A couple off weeks ago, guttersnipe announced thier top 10 concert photos for 2009... and I was very excited to see that a Winnipeg image made the cut! My image of Ida, of local Winnipeg band the Magnificent 7s, was listed among the top 10:

We shoot and we shoot and we shoot and we shoot, and every once in a while the mother of all shots happens for us. I photograph live music more than anything else these days and I captured one of these shots the other night while shooting Toronto duo, USS [Ubiquitous Synergy Seeker]. The image is of Jason Parsons [aka Human Kebab] turntablist extraordinaire. USS played to the West End Cultural Centre in Winnipeg on March 23, and have won the honour of being my favorite new band. Here is the link to their myspace so you can listen for yourself!
