On Friday night at The Common we had a huge going away party for Justine. It was a fun night catching up with old friends while getting down on the dance floor. Good vibes as always with friends/family! Drinks pouring, people dancing, music blasting, & me lurking with my camera… good night overal. If you missed out on the night here are the photo’s I took during the night… ENJOY!

Tonight at The Common we are saying farewell to Justine (Justeezy)… yes our beloved lady is moving to Victoria & I nothing says goodbye like drinking/dancing all night long. Allout DJ’s, DJ Sonny Grimezz, & DJ Twist will be on the tables spinning the freshest tunes to get your rump shaking. Come say your farewell to Justine while enjoying awesome music and having a great night with friends. Yours truly will be taking photo’s all night soo LURKING is in full swing tonight for me… SEE YOU THERE!

Another day, Another Assignment Due! Soo the latest assignment I finished was a HDR shot of a location of my choice that had a pleasing decor… of course I picked The Common! Doing the actual shooting only took 15mins that consisted of several bracketed shots at f/22 & ISO 100 on a tripod. After that easy part it was time to figure out which bracket shots to use and I finally chose 10 out of 19 shots to use. In CS4 I used layered masks to “brush” in the parts I wanted from each bracketed shot to complete my final product. I’m pretty happy with the outcome… even though I don’t really like HDR shots in the first place BUT I guess if its done right it can look have decent.

The Common keeps on constantly bringing more and more great DJ’s to the space and last night was no different! DJ Pump & DJ Hedspin from EH! Team DJ’s were spinning classics all night long… brining everyone to the dance floor! As always a great crowd/atomosphere that comes along side with The Common. From seeing new & old faces everytime I go there is always refreshing to see and be around. It is awesome to see that Edmonton is finally getting to realize The Common for what it is… do not sleep on anymore events people!

The past friday was Dan a.k.a. Danskee first solo show which was held at The Common… honestly Dan is such a talented artist that it’s unbelievable how he does his work. If you missed out on the first night of his work, do go to The Common to check out these art pieces yourself during Wednesdays to Saturdays because it is well worth it! For now here are some photos I took on that night…

Dan Chmielewski aka Danskee1 & 1/2 of Haven will be having his own art show at The Common on March 12, 2010. He will have several art pieces that under hush hush right now until reveal day. Pretty stoked to see what Dan has in store because I have not seen his work for awhile now…

The Common hosted Hifi club’s own poster illustrator, Josh Ruck, who has designed over 450 posters for Bands, DJ’s, and MC’s. He is one talented artist from his penmanship and ideas he has for each of the posters. Along side with his artwork for show on the walls, Pete 1/2 of Smalltown DJ’s was spinning all nigh long with Allout DJ’s, Nik 7, and DJ Stereobait.
