Oh Deer!: Adrienne Pierce @ The Media Club

After an exceptionally long day (that started in the Vancouver Magazine office!) at Thunderbird Stadium shooting Warped Tour, somehow I found the energy to leave my house again and book it over to the Media Club to see Adrienne Pierce ( @adriennepierce ) perform.
I really wanted to hear her live after spending the entire day at the studio taking photos of the drums and bass being tracked on one of her songs.
She's the sweetest thing in person, and it's always cool to hear songs live for the first time.
Here are some shots:





She'll be back at the Railway Club on August 25th as part of the "International Pop Overthrow"

So many updates...

...that are still going to be a while.
Since the last blog post I've shot another wedding, beach soccer tournament play, warped tour, Adrienne Pierce's show at the Media Club, softball playoffs and I am now working on some stuff for Vancouver Magazine.
I have over 3000 photos to dig through, and I'm slowly getting there and setting priorities (the hard part).

Here's a shot from today... an "outtake" if you will... that was semi-on-purpose...
As much as pork grosses me out, it's pretty awesome to watch chef's prepare things in tedious detail.
I wrote on Twitter that once I'm rich and famous off my food photography, I'll learn to cook professionally...the majority of my study will be based around seafood and vegetables.

Okay...I'm hungry again.

My First Recording Session...

I was asked by my lovely friend Elisa to come to Blue Wave Studio and take some photos of Niko Friesen recording drum tracks for Adrienne Pierce.
It was a long but fun afternoon and I even found time to make a time lapse video of some of it.
