For the past two weeks now I’ve been blasting The Weeknd either at home, at the shop, driving, or biking. Something about R&B music that always get me hooked. The melancholy of his voice with the instrumentals used in his songs work perfectly together. Check out both of his mixtapes “House of Balloons” & “Thursday”.
Here are my favourite songs from both mixtapes:
“In The Morning”
“The Party & The After Party”
“Loft Music”
“The Zone”
“Gone”
“Rolling Stone”
For the Scenic Edmonton Art Show at The Common I knew I wanted in corporate the different landscapes we have here in the city and the epic skies we have in Edmonton. When I first started to shoot for the show, I shot very vaguely to allow me to play with the cropping. After starting at the photographs for a good 3 hours on the computer I decided to make the foreground only 25% of the final product and the rest will be the beautiful skies. I shot one at sunset in a grassy hill by my house, another in the canola fields on a bright sunny day, and lastly one just off Whyte Ave of the gloomy grey sky. I’m very very pleased with the final product and I’m most definitely continuing this series to hopefully be able to do a full show. Well here are the final images and be sure to check them out on the 40x20 canvas prints at The Common!



This video reminded me how much I really really NEED to go to New York next year… I know I know I haven’t gone yet and every single time a friend/family goes there they tell me I would LOVE it there… defiantly next years trip is an Empire State of mind!
This Thursday at The Common there will be an Photography Art Show that will showcase several photographers that took their interpretation on “Scenic Edmonton”. Edmonton scenery to me is bright yellow canola fields with bright blue skies, grassy hills with purply/orangy/red sunset skies, and busily tree branches with dark grey clouds. I portrayed these within three photographs on 20 x 40 landscape canvas prints; which two are used for the posters for The Common parties this weekend. If your in town Thursday September 8, 2011 be sure to come by and check out the show!
