Busy, busy, busy….

Two shows lined up:

• Punk bands The Motorleague and Orphan Choir on April 26th in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
• A band I’ve been dying to see, Hey Rosetta! are playing a sold-out show in Fredericton, NB on April 28th.

Things you should check out:

• Blip.fm – It’s ridiculous how obsessed I am with this thing. It’s one of my more favourite music oriented social media tool. I’m Fauxtographer on there – add me!
• An inspiring post on PABLOg! that introduces a new motto we should abide by: Actually Fuck Do It. Read it, be inspired and spread the link.

And some new photos:

My friend Carrie and I were on our way to meet another friend when we drove by an apple orchard that we’ve passed a million times. I’ve wanted to do a shoot there for years but had never gotten around to it. Just then something inspired me and I abruptly pulled over.

“What the hell-”

“C’mon. We’re doing a shoot.”

In shoes that were meant for anything but hiking, we trudged through muddy grass and tripped over tree roots while cursing and laughing.  We spent 30 minutes running around – me shouting direction and Carrie posing while getting twigs in her hair.

I haven’t felt that free at a photoshoot in such a long time. It reminded me of why I love photography so much. Sometimes you had to be serious, but other times you indulge in… well, frivilous folly is how I would put it. It doesn’t matter what the theme is, there is always an intense amount of dedication involved. Whether you want to bring emotions out or shoot a few product shots, you want to put your all into it and create great shots. Whether they come out as great as you wanted them to or not, you always take something away from the experience.

This photo was taken after I dropped my glasses into a gopher hole and before I fell out of a tree.  <3
