Riot Fest 2014

Photos from Riot Fest, 2014.

I've begun shooting my 'Strange(r) People' series for Toronto Standard and decided to do a feature on the attendees of Riot Fest. While there I obviously shot some of the bands in this years stacked lineup. The festival was one of the best this season. So many bands I was excited to see; some all time favourites like New Found Glory and City And Colour and then some I've recently been obsessed with like The Hotelier and PUP. They all performed amazingly and not even the mud could reduce the fun.

Here's Riley from the Strange(r) People post...

35mm: Pistonhead & Field Trip

Some 35mm film shots from a Pistonhead party and Field Trip. Good times.

In a previous post I mentioned that I enjoy shooting film during the summer and this summer has been no exception. Lately I've been throwing my Canon AE-1 in my backpack while checking out random events. During the last few weeks I attended a rad Pistonhead sponsored party at the Bovine Sex Club and this past weekend was Field Trip. Here are some visuals for you...

First off - I'm really digging this portrait. I saw this dudes gold tooth and asked him for a portrait. Anyone know who he is?
