On Saturday, June 23rd, 2012 me and three favourite people saw Metric play the Commodore Ballroom. Tickets were free, available by “contest” only, as part of a campaign to promote Rogers Wireless Box Office (which sure didn’t last long). The band played Synthetica more or less front to back. So these are the frames.

There was a sense about this performance that found the band still looking for the identity to songs that hadn’t yet had a chance to live in front of a crowd. In retrospect, it was quite a contrast to compare this night to the Rogers Arena show that followed in November (an epic arena experience that somehow managed to make Rogers Arena feel like your best friends and favourite band were gathered in your living room). But this one was special in it’s own intimate way. To witness a band perform a fresh album released just 11 days prior to an audience trending more towards longtime fans than happenstance concert winning attendees, in an unlikely venue clearly outgrown by the bands success, it was a memory to keep.

Good morning internet! These are just a few shots made back in October shortly after getting my new camera.

Before I get in to the snip snaps, you may have noticed that the URL for my blog has been changed. Over at affectuoso.ca I’ve made a little collection of some of my favourite photographs using a very fancy portfolio format so look at that and be welcome to let me know how you feel about it.

As said this is a bit random but still some stuff I like and want to share. Coming up soon, some photos from my trip Austin last year…

A pair of nice ladies selling sandwiches.

I was reading a book and drinking coffee.

When we stopped in front of Cactus Club this kind woman explained to the bus driver that the reason they keep the lights so low in there is so you can’t read the price on the bill!

What it looks like.

Throwing in a few snaps that were once again made 2 summers ago.

Some street festivities.

We were nearby waiting for a table to have breakfast.

Something happened to that frame. Bunch of light leak on this and the next few frames on the roll. Not sure what that was about.

Doing some good make-up.

Running the gamut of emotions here in these portraits.

Tenant at the Cellar maybe?
