Salt & Earth

So my time in Toronto came to an end...and I'm back in rainy Vancouver once again.

I'm very excited because a few opportunities and projects have come up from this trip. One quite random, while the other was conceived without my knowledge, sprung upon me and then kicked into high gear over brunch and beers at the Rex.
More on both at a later date, but rest assured, I am... to use a west coast term... stoked.

Here is a screen shot from Jon's website showing a stitch that I shot and put together of his work up in the gallery (no credit? shame.) after roughly 10 hours of installing it the night before:


I have dark circles and bags under my eyes from spending 75% of my time in Toronto working on the show. But I am EXTREMELY pleased at how it turned out and hopefully Jon will sell some work and get some buzz.
And just wait until you see the time lapse that I took of the opening...it's a Where's Waldo of the guests/the photography world, including cameos by Bruno Barbey and Stephen Bulger. In fact I got to speak (in French, thats right...thank you Mme. Buckner) to Bruno and he said that he really enjoyed the variation in size of the photos and particularly liked the one of the tractor.

Here are a few shots from the week/opening:
Printing at Pikto in the dark with Jon for 4 hours. Mill St. was needed post-production.

Day two of Framing. We're hiding our dark circles/bags.

Devin Jeffrey. Lightmaster.

After party at the wonderful Rasputin Vodka Bar (they made a green martini and called it Salt & Earth). This is Jon and Sas having the Vodka Taster.
