Poster Of a Girl--

Photos A La Krista
Tonight was as cold as faak, not a pleasent night for a photo shoot and poor Krista was such a good sport in staying outside for far too long as I really had no idea what I was doing with my flash or Brants tripod.
Aside from the blistering cold and me not knowing the gear it was a pretty fun night.
Krista is really awesome and I'm glad we've finally met after countless one worded encounters. She's one of those people I've always wanted to meet, like a celebrity. You see them everywhere but when you do you are afraid that they will look at you strange when you approach them and you'll feel stupid. Which is obviously weird in itself. She's definitly someone who I could totally see myself becoming great friends with, really. I can't say that often about people, there are only a selection of people who I can really say that about. But yay for new friends and photo fun.
I knew what I wanted to do but upon the wintery night and wardore mishaps (on my part...I had something in mind of what I wanted so me waiting till the last minute and going to the thrift shops downtown and not finding exactly what I wanted or in my price range - - - just for the record Phase 2 in hella expensive for a used clothing store let me tell you!) it was a pretty good shoot. I am happy with what I got, although I would've loved to shoot more. Which I will hopefully get a chance to do in the studio sometime soon with again, Ms. Krista.
So here's what I came up with - - - This was my vision. It came out okay, I'm happy with it for a first attempt.
Okay I lie, I'm really happy with it and hopefully Krista is too!
(As well, the photo at the very top
Brant took in the "Ghost Alley" near the Toucan and Chez Piggy.Brant, Myself, Kevin and Krista in ghost alley.)
Mainy all my shots were used in this, here's a different one from ontop of the parking garage in front of The Hotel Dieu Hospital. City Hall is in the background and the lights of Kingston.
So like I said we're gonna do another shoot this time it'll be in the studio where I'll have control over the lights and temperature. I'm pretty excited for that, I really wanna do some studio work alot. I've missed it ever so much since last semester. And what the hell....Here are some hot
Metric pics for the show on Tuesday night at Grant Hall. Killer show. Thanks Rock Crew!!!
The opening band were pretty cool. Islands and Holy Fuck. Holy Fuck was rad as hell. (like i just sad rad, sweet!) Brant picked up their CD and I have yet to listen to it all the way through, i best be getting on that soon.
Matthew Good is the next big show that I am SUPER excited for!! I can't even wait! one more month, then after that is City & Colour in Otts with Traci and Brant!! weeee!!
It's 3am and I need sleep. I've been up forever editing photos on Brants Laptop. He's probably wondering why I'm not in bed yet...Night. Enjoy the photos. Posting more sooooon.

AwwwWWWW Erica, you're such a sweetheart. I was nervous about FINALLY, after all those times of passing by, meeting you but I'm glad we did and stuff, I think we'd be awesome friends and now that we have each other's numbers we should call each other up to go out for drinks and whatnot. :)

You and Brant blew me away with your photography knowledge! I had a fun night despite the cold.

Gonna make a post later sometime about it. Much love!!
