Click click click! Notice how the tambourine in Liam’s mouth makes it look like he’s smiling? I don’t know whether that was intentional or not. (A few moments later, he gave that same tambourine to a girl in the front row.) Anyway, the whole thing went down here at GM Place in Vancouver. My [...]

Click click click! One of the early warm-up shots taken during my shoot with The Darcys. For this first series, I used my Fed 5 and Rollei Retro 400 film. (I don’t think Mike took his sunglasses off at any point during the shoot.) By the way, this shot is not at all representative of [...]

I’m back in Vancouver. Flight took a little over 4 hours, although if you throw in waiting in the airport, getting luggage, etc., it felt more like 7. Oh, and we had a medical emergency on board. An elderly gentleman two rows behind me collapsed mid-flight, falling into the arms of another passenger. [...]

Click click click! Last day in Toronto. Had lunch in Kensington Market today with Wes and Jason from The Darcys [the first two gentlemen from the left]. I passed off some test proofs of the Holga photos I took of the band last week. Not sure if they’ll be any use to the [...]

Wow. Just… wow. What can I say? There are… no… words. I (along with three friends) attended The Darcys’ show last night at Supermarket, and it did not disappoint. A Darcys show, live and in the flesh, is everything I imagined. Even my friends, who knew nothing of The Darcys, were impressed by [...]

Darcy Day! Tonight is my first live Darcys experience. It’s ridiculous that it took this long for it to happen, but finally, the oversight will be rectified! Do you believe in magic? ‘Cause it’s magic time! 9:00pm. Supermarket. I can’t wait.

Yesterday I mentioned that - in addition to a few digital pics - I used four rolls of film during my photoshoot with The Darcys. Two of them were put through the Holga, one through the Lomo Cam, and another through the Fed 5. Well, I got the rolls back this afternoon, along with [...]

Guess what, haters? Look who I frolicked in the sun with today for a little photoshoot. That’s right! The Darcys!! All five of them! Click click click! Awwwww. The whole thing went down just after noon today in Queen’s Park. I am pleased to say that The Darcys are all super-nice guys and exactly as I had [...]

I should meet up with The Darcys more often! Judging from the explosive site traffic yesterday, y’all were captivated by the dizzying heights of my mental illness happiness. Thank you for your concern emotional investment. Anyway, tomorrow (Wed.) could be equally as interesting. That’s all I want to say right now. Other non-Darcy-related activities to come: [...]
