'A Cozy Sunday Evening'

I'm a weirdo, I know. But in the words of the good Doctor,

"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro."

This was a good Sunday.
Children are a reason to live and a reason to make ourselves better people.

Goodnight

Nan and GG, you guys are, as we young hooligans are saying these days, wicked-dope. Thanks for being awesome.

I know this isn't one of the technically awesomest photos; it's just for me. Thanks.

Goodnight and tons of Love!

Trapped Inside A Painting: Photoshop Assignment

Thanks to the fabulous Cristina J. Rizzo for providing the painting that I am so comfortably "floating" in. I think this is going to be totally off the mark for the assignment but it was fun while it lasted.

Stay tuned for next week when I photoshop myself naked onto a beach full of dancing manatees..... you'd never spot me.

Goodnight!

SteamWhistle Brewery
Toronto, Ontario

Happy Drinking!

Note: Blogger did NOT like the layout that I created for my assignment poster AT ALL. It was too tall and skinny and wouldn't display well - I even tried resizing so it was really wide and you had to scroll down so you could see each photo at a reasonable size. No dice. Therefore, I just threw this new layout together in about half an hour at about 1 am, so all you graphic/layout people out there, just, believe me when I say, "Ay-oooo! Ooo-aaaay! Waaaaaaaatch'iiiiit! I smacka'your faaaace you gimme some lip'eh?"

Capiche?

Splendid. Tons of amore. Goodnight

The Beer Shot: Initial Edit - Final To Come


(Note - Nov 15th: Reshooting for the glass tomorrow. It needs work.)

I most certainly hope you clicked that link. Seriously, it makes my heart smile.

So, finally a shot from Commercial this year that I'm really stoked on. The first two assignments were pretty "blah" - my fault - but I loved doing this. Maybe it had something to do with drinking the beer that lost its bubbles, maybe it had something to do with drinking the rest of the beer after the shoot was over, I DON'T KNOW. Your guess is really as good as mine.
But this was fun. Total time spent:

4 1/2 hours in studio
8 hours post production
1 hour sleeping on my bedroom floor

Hope it was worth it. Portfolio image for sure.

Love love love,

Goodnight

Day 243;


"Snakeskin"

Had our "Beer Shot/Pour Shot" assignment in Commercial Studio class today. I definitely felt more confidant with the one than I did on my first two commercial assignments. Hopefully things are picking up.

I spent all night photoshopping but I'm only halfway to getting the beer image presentable. It's kind of a slow process as the working file is 3.36 gigs on my hard drive. Saving (which one is supposed to do often) takes about 5 minutes each time. It's... slow going.

Anyways, it's been a productive day... and something about getting to drink beer while shooting an assignment... heh heh.

Goodnight

Day 242:


Carling & Molly the Burmese Python
...all 10 feet of her...

It's a very well known fact that I love snakes. Very well known. Those who know me best are often heard remarking of me, "Chris? Gosh! He's snake CRAZY! He's got the bedsheets, the encyclopedias, snake motif kitchenware, a private box at the yearly Toronto Snake Opera... the snake mania never ends with him!"

Dot dot dot...

Uuuh, okay so no. But snakes are wicked awesome. I'd love to have one. People who are afraid are CLEARLY unaware of just how totally neat they can be.

Am I doing a good PR job for snakes? Maybe the National Snake Council should hire me. Give me a few months and the end of this decade will reign in the end of "The Age of The Squeamish"!

Okay, wow. I've been talking about snakes for way too long. I think the word has lost all meaning. SNAKE!

So! Today was ALSO my incredibly wicked nephew Andrew's first birthday party. His birthday isn't until Wednesday (Remembrance Day, so it's kind of hard to forget) but I'm still super stoked for him. I can't believe it's been a year already. I remember the day he was born like it happened yesterday... siiigh....

Anyways, I think I'll have to share a few photos of Andrew in a few days.

Until then, I hope you're all super fly. You better be.

OKAY GOODNIGHT!

Looooove!

Dear Chocolat Girl,

I'm so sorry, your photo was really whack; it was appearing as chunky, pixelated, freaky, photograph-from-the-black-lagoon weirdness on other people's computers. It looked fine on mine... but not so good elsewhere. Not sure exactly how to explain that one. Hmmm....

So, here's something else.


I'm really sad because I've been wanting to post that photo for ever....
