Now some more recent pictures and different kind of works ... My one year old photoblog, a lot of changes, bad times and very good times, made for less webtime ... but they also allowed for more phototime ...
@joanneleah Your portraits are incredible. I like them a lot.
@dorkmuffin I love Future of the Left! I met some of them when they were Mclusky. Very nice people indeed. The drummer is my friends cousin = mild claim to fame.
Thanks for kind words re: boingboing! My flickr account got a fucking hammering for a few days after. Amazing what a bit of 'net exposure can get you.
I've just moved into a house with an interesting view from the roof;
@Jehrot, I met them the second time I shot them! I talked to the drummer for a little while and he was SO SO SO NICE! I got to shoot them three times this year which was AWESOME. They put on such a good live show.
@allana No. The sky is, for most of the year, either a thick haze of dust/sand or a piercing cloudless expanse. Now it's winter time we get a few clouds and the light is glorious.
@dorkmuffin Three times! Hugely jealous. I'm yet to see them live and there's little chance of them touring the oil circuit..
@Flabyo - That occurred to me, too. Since there's no particular reason to start a new thread, other than the issue of having the wrong season in the title (and heaven help the antipodeans), maybe come January we could just start "The Photography Thread: 2013"?
Uncle Warren started the seasonal bit back when the original photography thread became a bit unwieldy. Since he wandered off, I've tended to follow his pattern, starting new ones roughly every solstice and equinox (largely because traditional seasons are a bit of a running joke here in New Orleans, where the only three seasons we have are Tourist season, Hurricane season, and December, and those days are at nice, consistent intervals), but as I am entirely without authority and unapologetically lazy to boot, I will gleefully hand off responsibility for refreshing the thread to whoever wants it, and cheerfully encourage any experimentation with how long of an interval between thread reboots.
In any event, pictures: Northbound plane on Royal Street: Just another Saturday:
My camera's been horribly neglected. Gonna do some editing to psych up, then head out on a long walk (Toronto is at least twelve degrees warmer than Montreal right now, thank fuck) and try to snap something en route to another loafing spot. (My life is great.)
Dorkmuffin, do me one small favour if you would please - don't EVER let yourself be discouraged by trolls, twats or any other kind of arsehole, just keep taking the pictures and putting them somewhere i can look at them eh? Ta!
(Oh and that goes for the rest of you lot as well.)
Some really great work in this thread as always. Just out of curiosity, who deleted their Instagram accounts this morning because of their new terms of service?
