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.

Ottawa’s Winterlude 2011

Last year I featured the Ottawa Winterlude on my picture blog so I figured I would do an encore this year. This year’s Ottawa Winterlude is being held for 3 weekends starting the first weekend of February 4th 2011. We visited the Confederation park tonight to see the Ice sculptors at work, so here is some of the works.

Winterlude is celebrating Chinese New Year. A team of ice carvers, straight from the Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival in China, participated in the 24th Rogers International Ice-Carving Competition. The Ying and Yang was featured on a few of the ice sculptures this year.

Here’s a sculpture that offered some interesting perspective. The sculpture also gave me the opportunity to frame my beautiful fiancé in a nice winter night picture.

I hope you enjoy the Crystal Garden and highly recommend you visit this event.
Enjoy the Gallery,
