What’s new is how brands are leveraging often very newsworthy content from the major events they sponsor – especially on social media channels. [...]

December 3, 2011 By Leave a Comment
I’ve never been shy in saying I think Guns N’ Roses is one of the greatest rock bands ever. Sure, in their heyday they self-destructed in a haze of drug addiction and Axl’s mood swings. But in those brief few years – nobody should doubt Gn’R created some of the finest rock songs ever. I’d [...]

Had the pleasure to recently shoot an assignment at BMO Field – Toronto’s home to soccer action.

October 16, 2011 By 1 Comment
The Occupy Wall Street movement made its way to Toronto yesterday. Hadn’t planned to shoot it as I was heading to the camera show. When I missed my Go bus by one frickin’ minute, and had another hour to kill, figured I’d check out King and Bay where the demonstrators were beginning to gather. Protest [...]

Bud Light Canada on Facebook encourages action by asking, “Are You In This Ad?”
July 31, 2011 By Leave a Comment
I’m starting to see more brands play with cool concepts that tie together digital, traditional, and experiential marketing in smart ways. Its not enough to get people to just visit brand websites (or increasingly, their facebook pages.) We want visitors to take some sort of action. Budlight Canada tries to get the action going by [...]
iPhone: Gel Heating Pads just might be the photographer’s best friends
July 1, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Was really happy to find these from a vendor today at Toronto’s Chin Picnic. These Gel Heating Pads can save a photographer’s life (or, at least their hands.) If you ever have to shoot outdoors in the freezin’ cold, and your like me and can’t always wear gloves because you need your fingers free – [...]
