Vinny By The Sea...

What could be a better prequel to a lightning storm and fireworks than live music by English Bay? Nothing!

I wandered down to the beach with my camera (and NO umbrella) to see Vince Vaccaro play on the roof of the Bathhouse to Second Beach/The Ocean. It was pretty epic. With members of Maurice (JP, Connor and Mark) backing him up, Vince played a short set to the beachy crowd before the rain forced them off the stage.

Here are some shots:

Surprise!

My dad flew me to Ontario last week to surprise my mom during family camping. The traveling time was long, but it was worth it for a great surprise and 5 days of relaxing.
Here a few shots:

Movement and Echo

I took some photos a while back for the music review website: Ronatron...they're finally up online.

A night of Debra Jean and Jon Rae.

Monday Night at the Biltmore! Debra-Jean Creelman was opening up for Jon Rae Fletcher so I moseyed on over to the east side of town.

Also playing that evening was Bruce Peninsula...they weren't my cup of tea for the most part, although some of the songs were interesting. I wasn't a fan of the Jesus songs though...memories of bible camp...ugh.

Here are a few shots from the show!

"And who are you?...Hi Gene, I'm Christine...the photographer"

It's not everyday that Gene Simmons and Mark Spicoluk (A&R dude from Universal) come to see your friend's band play.

It was a big day to say the least.
My favourite photos are of Hey Ocean backstage before the show...there was a buzz in the air for sure.
