I miss my old room

STORYTELLER

I don't need to be told the story, in fact I would rather not know your version.

I prefer to tell it myself.

ill never wear running shoes

just sittin around going through some older images. above are a couple of digital pinhole explorations i did for a series, the final ended up becoming something rather different but i've always kind of liked these.
my reason for posting these is because I truly believe that no one should ever be ashamed of their artwork, even if it "didnt make the cut". it's still a piece of yourself that at one point in your life you were proud of, so that being said.. don't be ashamed of your sketches that the teacher said was awful or the photographs that lacked conceptual integrity.
WHY NOT JUST LOVE ART FOR BEING ART EVERY NOW AND AGAIN?
if it makes you happy or evokes ANYTHING/SOMETHING out of you or others, then why not accept it for what it is and stop comparing it to the mona lisa.

so cheers to Art and every doodle you have ever done!

5 million year long weekend

No one died or anything, I'm just blown away by how much you can miss someone even if its just one weekend without seeing them.

just a reminder to give an even bigger next time I see you <3

THE COOP INK / TORONTO STAR

This past Thursday I was fortunate enough to make it into the newspaper with a photograph taken while at The Coop ink photographing their incredible space and just so happened to photograph the wonderful people who work and own the space because to me, they were just as important (if not more) than the space I was photographing, ya? you agree, yaaaaa- BELOW IS THE PHOTO and THIS IS A LINK TO THE ARTICLE





THANKS AGAIN to everyone who was involved in making this happen, couldn't be more excited!!

AIN'T IT THE TRUTH

Did you go to Nuit Blanche this year?

I didn't spend too much time wandering this city this year, i wasn't even sure if i wanted to go at all to be honest (*GASP) but I'm glad I did end up going for a bit since there is always something cool going on everywhere you look!

Above is a photograph I took at City Hall last night during Nuit Blanche, probably one of my favourite exhibits of the night... city hall always seems to know what I'm talkin' 'bout.


oh, one thing though...WHY did certain areas seem like such a highschool party and whyyy were there so many food vendors? I don't know about this guys...

YOUNG ARNOLD

HAND MADE LEATHER BAGS

my mom has an insightful facebook status

5 PEARLS OF WISDOM TO REMEMBER

1. Money cannot buy happiness but it’s more comfortable to cry in a Mercedes than it is on a bicycle.
2. Forgive your enemy but remember the bastard’s name..
3. Help a man when he is in trouble and he will remember you when he is in trouble again.
4. Many people are alive only because it’s illegal to shoot them.
5. Alcohol does not solve any problem, but then neither does milk

did you know its "cool" for people to share statuses? like...copy and paste it and put it as their own? i mean, i get it...i just had no idea this was going on. not that's it really matters...

goodnight!
ps i am officially a straight up G.. or at least until i'm 80....DO THE MATH.
pps ....do your parents have facebook??

Trevor Gordon and the Nighthounds

so, i was going through some old photos while doing some laundry and i stumbled upon these..this was a show that happened in may on the 27th. This was a special night for a group of talented people who call themselves 'Trevor Gordon and the Nighthounds' because it was their first official show which was held at El Mocombo here in Toronto,
and might I say, what a show!!!
