i went and shot in my backyard when i saw that my cat wanted to come in ...


i thought she could stay outside seeing as it was so nice and let me make a few photos of her! i don't go in my backyard enough ... my parents complain about it and i guess i should. it's actually pretty cool there!

i love the reflection of my neighbor's house ...


i think i like reflections in general - simple, complex, with water, mirrors. i just like them all usually.

my cat likes rolling around.


and loafing apparently ...


that's one of her favorite spots in her garden.

or my garden. nah, more like my parents' garden! can't wait to have my own one day though! i imagine it will be pretty nice! like my room - i'm re-furnishing it a little bit. it should be nice when it's all done!

i like wide angles ...


and i found it interesting to watch my cat "do her thing" for a bit ... it was pretty fun seeing how she reacted to things like sounds and just the fact that i was there with a big black box for 10 minutes. and i found it interesting that she walked down to the end of the garden on this wooden line ...



i think i will chill more in my backyard this summer. it's pretty cool actually.

but one of these little pieces of shit caught my shirt when i was taking the photo of that tree -


i'm happy it was nice out.

yesterday i was in a winter jacket and a scarf and it was pouring like crazy. i'm not about that. it's so fucked that one day i'm in a winter jacket and the next i'm in a tshirt. not feeling it.

but my band played a show with neil and adam from three days grace ...


they performed an acoustic set for a charity at roy foss which is a car dealership here. they sell caddy's, hummers ... they had some pretty nice cars on exhibition!

three days grace and my band weren't the only performers ...

there was matt (i think) ... who played buble-esque music -


and a girl who was blind (but i forget her name) who was a really amazing singer!


i like the three guys in the background.

there were some speeches.


i thought the woman was aretha franklin when i first saw her ... she looked so familiar and it was bugging me ... but then i remembered that i recognized her because i photographed her a few months ago with eva avila and justin trudeau!

she was really nice!


this is vanessa chilling beside a chromed-out escalade -



our good friend, jackson, who is feist's brother, chilling in the "artist area"


and dave ...


and jules ...


it was a fun two days ... but i prefer the weather from today! :)

and we were originally supposed to open for three days grace but since they played before us, technically they opened for us! ;)

and the drummer is a really nice guy!

also ... shot two of my friends from high school who i haven't seen since our prom after party really quickly in my house cause i wanted to see what i could do with a flash and my nice orange wall ...


it was pretty cool ... i bounced the flash off a very very low white ceiling.


they're rappers and they were happy to have nice photos of themselves!

probably for their myspace. :P


i was happy with the turn out!
