Good Vibrations 001
So I figured 90% of my Instagram posts are artists and their music (cause I’m goddamn awful at coming up with witty captions) so why not use my blog to share the plays. I’m thinking I’ll make this some sort of weekly collection so that way I’m not aggressively posting on here. Now to come up with a good name for this…
Kelingking Beach - Nusa Penida, Bali - Loop // 5
Making these hyper-lapses were one of the few times high pixel count came in handy.
We don't use emojis.

Scrap clips | One
Using random clips from different shoots to create a short story. Might actually turn this into a weekly exercise, to keep the creativity flowing.

Trying to catch the sunnier days this summer was difficult, luckily we had a weekend to shoot the Momochrome Fall 2019 Lookbook. Check it out!

The Hungry Mind | Intro to James
Worked on a project with James / The Hungry Mind to share his journey and spread awareness on the topic of mental health.
City Trust
A lovely window sill on level 3 of the McLeod building in Edmonton, AB. Would be cool if Instagram let you post some lengthier vertical photos.
Sensō-ji - Asakusa, Tokyo Loop // 5
This was an interesting time during the trip because I forgot I was able to shoot at a lower shutter speed to achieve motion in a crowded area. Pair that up with some music/sound effects and you get yourself a pretty dynamic hyper-lapse.
Shooting on 35mm
So I still haven’t received my Hasselblad back from repair and I’ve been fiending to shoot some film. My sister was gifted a 35mm and decided to borrow it. I gotta say I was impressed by the quality of photos that came out of it. Was also nice to see how our new spot-meter worked. Here’s a collection of random photos taken over the summer with portra 400.
08.23.19 | Compound Cut Club
It’s been a long time coming.. it was only a few years ago Jay-r talked about running his own barber shop. Makes me proud to see other peoples success after all the hard work. Congrats! If you’re looking for the cleanest fade in Edmonton, you’ll find it there.
Here’s a short video I whipped up of Compound Cut Club on the grand opening night:
Down to a tee
Exciting new golf themed shoot coming soon!
08.18.19 | Spam and Pineapples
I was lucky enough to work with some super talented people on this vintage 70’s shoot this past Sunday. I got to plate some jello… but also shot some digital, 35mm film and super 8mm. I have some video footage coming soon-ish once I get these super 8 cartridges sent out and processed. For now here are some photos I shot on the Sony.

Luna
Possibly one day I will own a telescope to stare at the moon every night. Here’s a neat collection of composite moon photos taken on Reddit and turned into a GIF. It’s quite stunning to see how much detail you can capture with a telescope and a camera.

Good Information Music
Honestly so happy our friend, Alfred (Freydo), invited us over to check out this local talent during a chilly art festival. When I heard them for the first time I knew I was going to see them again. Just recently they began to play some incredible jazz renditions of today’s hip-hop artists like Kendrick Lamar and Tyler the Creator. The covers sound beautiful but their original music is quite phenomenal which I can only explain as pleasant or uplifting, and watching them perform together was just as amazing. Listening to Fringes is quite a trip, I'm crossing my fingers hoping they drop some music on streaming platforms sometime soon. These mates are not to be slept on! You may have one more chance to see them before Biboye (the bands drummer) moves to Finland for school.
