XDR-TB

This is a very moving TED talk about how James Nachtwey used his photography to show the world about multi-resistant tuberculosis and went on to win the TED prize.  Please to check it out XDRTB.org.

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to let you all know, that one of my photos from Nuit Blanche 08 got published on CBC.ca/arts ! I’m stoked!

Check it out here: http://www.cbc.ca/photogallery/arts/1670/ photo #13

You can also check out more of my photos from Nuit Blanche on my flickr

It was a wild night even thought I probably didn’t cover like 95% of it.

A tip for me : get a wide angle lens!!!

P.S I also updated my Portfolio with some of my fav shots from Vfest.

Creativity

This talk from TED is so true. So very true.

microFT

This is the new micro Four-Thirds dSLR from Olympus. Yes…it IS a DSLR! but small like a P&S. Some people have already bashed it and some have praised it.

It is definently better than a movie mode IMO.

Instead of trying to make something that its not, why not focus your effort into making something that will improve or enchance what you already have?

To me, a camera like this would be a beautiful backup camera. Even If I just carried it around with me, it would be no problem.

Another benefit I see, is that I can bring it to concerts and events etc and pretend that it is a P&S but still take dSLR quality photos ! That is food for thought.

P.S new season of Heroes is on tonight :)

When The Night Hears My Photos (lol)

The Juno award-winning Canadians delighted the hears and eyes of UOIT/Durham College fans.

The men with “soul” kicked off the night with the blazin’ “Until we burn in the Sun”. And of

course they played their hot-singles “Walls fall Down”, “St. Andrews” and “When the Night hears my Song”.

It was a great treat indeed!

Check out more of the gig here.

P.S It is now the eve of V-fest 08, so this will probably be the last post you shall read from me

for about 3 days or so.

Keep it real folks!

Frosh Me Please!

Well folks, it’s that time of year again! Back to the books…but not before some rockin’ out right?

Basically, some university / college students got some really good bands playing for them this year.

UofT gets Tokyo Police Club and Cadence Weapon. September 5 @ Back Campus.

Ryerson gets Kardinal Offishall and Thunderheist. September 5 @ Toronto Island

Humber gets k-os and Girl Talk (wow). September 10 @ North Campus Amphitheatre

York gets Stars (very jealous). September 16 @ Rexall Centre.

Queen’s gets Sam Roberts.

UOIT gets Bedouin Soundclash. Sept 4 @ EP Taylors campus pub.

Overall, 2008 looks like a fierce frosh concert competition! In my opinion having Bedouin sooth my ears will be a great “pre-Vfest” treat!
