Killing the Homeless

Mood:

Blah
Listening to: The Mars Volta - L'via L'viaquez
Reading: Jay Rayner - Eating Crow
Watching: Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

_{I'm sitting here looking like a drowned rat. I just walked home for an hour and a half in the rain. Blah. It was a good chance to get some thinking done though, so I can't really complain.

The whole way home I was thinking of writing a nice long journal full of interesting things and what I've been up to the past week or so. But I'm still trying to dry myself off and typing a long journal isn't too appealing right now. So I'm just going to throw a few things down here and head to bed.

Here's a few random photographers to check out:

Chris Smith: www.funkfactor.com

Chris is a great photographer/graphic designer/webdesigner from the East coast of Canada. He has a very versatile gallery ranging from portraits and landscapes to brilliant live band photography and musician promo shots. His gallery is definitely worth the time.

Alex Cairncross: www.missionlessdays.com

I found Alex's site from looking up some stuff on the band Money Money. He has some really great portaits and interiors, as well as live band photography.

Richard Lann: www.richardlann.com

Richard is a superb band photographer and has mastered the use of ambient stage lighting for his subjects as opposed to the usual flash-accompanied concert shots that you usually see in the style of band photography. Give him a look.

Mark Meyer: www.photo-mark.com

This gallery is also a very versatile one, and the photographer it is atributed to also has some great articles and tips for fellow photographers. His landscapes are amazing and his tips and tricks for shooting while backpacking on a hike is extremely useful. If you're up for some great photography and readings, Mark's site is highly recommended. (I found his site by doing some domain name searches on names I'm looking to release my new site under, haha.)

Also, this past Thursday I went with some friends to a Mars Volta concert at Metropolis. All I have to say is..Wow. The show blew my mind. It was probably the best live show I have ever seen. If you haven't heard the band before, definitely check them out.

This turned out to be longer than I was expecting. Ah well.

Cheers.

What I'm working on:

Racking my brain at the current moment..Nothing definite..

Working on scanning some of my B&W portfolio from the past year..

I've still got to get some permission from models..

What's in the CD player:

The Mars Volta - De-loused in the Comatorium

Ooh, man I'm glad you had a good time. They're so awe-inspiring, and both albums are so exceedingly different in sound, they just blow my mind. <3
