September

Summer is officially gone...sad :( But I'm excited for the fall! September came and went so quickly!

Here's some pics from this month. I shot Kid Cudi at Molson Amp, though I am pretty disappointed with the shots I got...I honestly didnt get anything. All the photographers walked out of there shaking their heads-the lighting was horrible! The only OK shot I got was out of luck. Another photographer used their flash and I happened to snap at the same time...but theres a security guards head in the corner...haha. Not my best work. After the show I snapped a few shots on the way out of the CNE grounds just to feel better about my photographic abilities.

I also got invited to a fashion show this month from a new designer Alisha Chintelle, showing her line ALMY Fashion. To be honest, I was really excited to see it, but once I arrived I wanted to leave. It was such an awkward setting. I thought more bloggers and industry people would be there to chat and mingle with, but it was just random people that the designer and pr girl knew. I would walk up to people and ask them what the knew about the line, or if they were bloggers, and they all gave me confused stares. It was bizzare. I met one other blogger, and she didn't even stay for the show. It felt so disorganized and the volunteers had no idea what was going on. Two of them didnt even know english! They'd tell me to go up stairs for the show, and then I'd be re-directed back down to the club where the silent auction was...it was just ridiculous. I cant even make a positive comment on the jewelry designer. I hate to give such a bad review, but when I'm waiting over an hour for a fashion show to start...it's a bit much. The only reason I stayed was because I had paid for parking. The whole thing felt like a middle school production. The curtains looked like they were just thrown over a line and you could see their "backstage" clearly. Once the show started, I was dying to leave. A lot of things just weren't planned out properly. The venue wasn't the best choice, communication wasn't clear, there should have been a host, more invites should have been given out...I could go on, but I won't.  It was a good effort(and I hope they learn from their mistakes) but sometimes you gotta go big or go home. These kids should go home.

This past week I was sent to cover Wiz Khalifa for Envy Magazine. Sound Academy was swarmed with 17 year old potheads, but over all the show was good. It was really fun to shoot. The crowd was loving it, and for the second night Wiz was killing it.
