Metro uses my pictures.

I was really hyped yesterday to receive an email from the marketing team at Metro News requesting permission to use my Where’s Mike band pictures that were taken in 2009.
I had to make a quick call to the band members to get a permission for model release for the advertisement.
The advertisement for Obsession Live Lounge and Where’s Mike band is featured on page 22 of Thursday’s September 27, 2012.

Where’s Mike will be playing at Obsession on Friday September 28, 2012 at 9pm. You can check out the venue myobsession.ca

It’s always a nice to get little exposure, this one was really unexpected.

Hot air balloon festival in Gatineau

Labour day weekend is famous in the Outaouais region for the “Festival de Montgolfières de Gatineau”.  Huge crowds gathered for this 4 day festival making it a great success for the Outaouais region.  The festival hosted 67 hot air balloons, 300 activities, 40 amusement rides and an excellent line up of open air concerts.  The nearly perfect weather allowed 5 successful lift offs of the seven departure windows, alas 2 lift offs had to be canceled due to stronger winds.

Enjoy the gallery of pictures I took of the event.  This is a photographer’s paradise for beautiful colour images.
