“My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world”– Jack Layton

After hearing the guys from Alexisonfire were parting ways, I decided to pull photos off my hard drive from their ’06 tour and throw them into a short video. I was lucky enough to join the guys on tour back then, and it jump started my photography career. I soon after moved to Toronto and interned alongside a renown Canadian photographer, and worked as an intern with AOF’s label and management team Dine Alone Records. I wanted to thank Alexisonfire for all their great music, insane live shows, and some of the best times of my life in Toronto behind the scenes. Here’s hoping for a farewell tour.

The guys from The Malibu Knights flew me out to Toronto to document their Ontario tour!  Here’s some of the story:

The next three photos were shot on an infrared camera! Thanks to my friend Ian Grindall for letting me shoot his converted Nikon IR cam! Click to enlarge.

How we end our nights!

I’m sitting on the tour bus, tethering to my iPhone to upload a few pics from last night. The guys played a rad show at the Rose and Crown on Yonge Street with the Unknown Culprits. If you dont know their music, check them out here.

Globe and Mail called me up yesterday asking for a few photos of Alexisonfire for an article. Here’s today’s paper! The full article can be read HERE

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

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