So today I had the chance to finally catch up on some albums that needed listening too. I got to listen to the new Gwar, new Testament and New Cradle of Filth. Yup, I’m a wedding photographer who loves the Metal! Also, while I was following up on some blog posts, I checked out my google reader for the daily updates on Blabbermouth. I found this amazing kid from Sweden Erik Gronwall. Seriously, check this guy out. He nailed Queen, Iron Maiden, Michael Jackson and so many more. I just spent about 30 minutes watching his videos. I really wish Canadian Idol and American Idol would have more metal. Also, some other felow photographers have posted this Joey Lawrence video. It is awesome for all the Nikon vs Canon (I’m a Canon) debaters out there:

Also, I believe Jasmine Star said it best. No blog post is complete without a picture. It just feels empty without something. So here’s a shot of
Ian Thornley from a clinic he did in Oakville.

Susie and I went down to the Festival of Friends in Hamilton. I was in the pit shooting with the 5D and she had the Rebel XT.
Some party girls climbed up the TV tower to dance for a bit!





THE classic Iron Maiden pose!




I almost missed this great shot of James. Amazing guitar face:

Mesa Engineering

My second Mesa Boogie amp. I had an F-50 and it was great. But I’ve always wanted a rectifier. So I upgraded. You can’t go wrong with a Mesa!
