Had a good photographer friend of mine visit from Toronto for a few days. Here’s a quick portrait I shot before he left. If you haven’t seen his work before check it out at dustinrabin.com

We found this great record store just off the strip on Sahara Ave.

I was on the search for some Zepplin, maybe some Rage Against the Machine. My girlfriend Sabrina was on a hunt for anything MJ. The first thing we see when we walk into this place, is a display case full of MJ stuff. The most unique item was this photo I bought for her for $18.

Turns out this photo was from Michael Jackson’s music video for “Say Say Say” with Paul McCartney in 1983!
The photo shows the final scene in the music video where Michael, Paul, and Lisa McCartney are running to jump in the back of a truck. The music video was filmed in Santa Ynez Valley, California which is about 6-8 hours away from Las Vegas. The guy at the record store said someone brought the photo to their store with hopes they could find a good home for it. We don’t really know how long the photo sat in their store, but the photo definitely found the best home possible with Sabrina and I. She loves MJ, I love unique original music photography. Win Win!

Here is a shot of my friend Dan Harden from Malibu Knights. The photo was taken during their band’s photo shoot a few months back. We were shooting on a sound stage, and stepped outside to grab some fresh air, and saw this intense pink sky.

Jason asked me last month to shoot a quick portrait of him for an article being published in Beatroute magazine. There was one catch, he had to be wearing his favorite hat! He said something along the lines of: “If people are having a bad day, I put this hat on, and it always makes them smile” Made me smile for sure! We did a few shots by the bar, and then a shot on the stage that was being prepped for that night. He loved all the goofy posed shots, but I liked this moment where I caught him with just a straight face, it was the only odd one out in the shoot.

Here is a quick 11 second time lapse of almost every frame I shot on the Malibu Knights publicity photo shoot in Kelowna, BC.

Here is the video Thomas Bowerbank filmed while I was shooting Jeff Fero’s band “Last Day of Labour”. Tons of thanks to Tom for shooting this rad behind the scenes video!

Jeff Fero called me up last week in need of some new band promo photos. Less than seven days later I’m sleeping on his couch, enjoying the Okanagan sunshine (while it snows back home), and capturing some really cool photos for his new band “Last Day of Labour”. I wont share all the details just yet, but here is a production still of me and the guys at the end of the shoot.

Here’s a shot I took this afternoon while hanging around the studio. Shawni is a local musician, currently recording her first album. I will be working with Shawni on her album design, and another photo shoot for the album release. I will have to post more when the project is done!

Here’s another shot I took of Wayne out in Toronto.
