FABULOUS RUINS OF LONDON

[click foto to enlarge]

Highgate Cemetery in north London is a breathtaking ruin.
While the central rings housing Douglas Adams and Karl Marx are well-tended, the perimeter has been left to the eternal hunger of undergrowth rising.
This ended up being a photo feature in the sustainability-themed Display. The magazine will have a new issue discussing design in music in the coming months.

This is looking towards Yokohama, where I first penetrated Japan in 1987.

The image was part of a show with Tim Rechner called The Experiment.

This is Norm Omar, a dancer in Trevor Anderson+aAron Munson's recent film, Figs in Motion. The short ran at the Art Gallery of Alberta, along with photos from this series. If you're looking at this before April 29, 2010, there will be another screening of Figs coming up at Metro.

SORORITY OF ROCK

A shoot for the Secretaries in the 1915 Chicago-style McLeod Building. Happily enough, this ended up being VUE's cover.

THE WHALE'S BACK

Halifax's wedding photography scene is tightly gripped by an elite entity who, in my opinion, charges ridiculous money, especially considering how poorly his staff is paid. Regardless, DJing a wedding I followed them out to the Whale's Back outside Peggy's Cove and caught some real magic. This is a casual moment of relaxation between being posed.
