On Stage at the Backstage

After a fun drink with the Diane Farris Gallery crew to celebrate the closing of the Twitter/Social Media show, I ran down to the Backstage Lounge to catch Jasper Sloan Yip once more...

I commented to the band that I had yet to see them just play at straight set. First encounter was at the CBC recording session, which had song played a few times in row; next was on the plaza where they'd play between Radio One broadcasts and this time they did two sets alternating with a band called This Is Franco.

Still, they a joy to be around, and excellent to listen to. If didn't get tickets to the sold out Dan Mangan show, they are playing on Commercial Drive in Vancouver on Saturday.

My 'Vancouver Mom' Loves Me

It was much to my delight the other morning to wake up and see this 'tweet':

"@vancouver_mom @christinemcavoy is one of Vancouver's 50 Essential Portrait Photographers. http://bit.ly/2jnDXR"

I got an email a few days ago from Christine Pilkington of Vancouver Mom asking me to be a part of a series she is doing called '50 Essential Vancouver Portrait Photographers' which states that they want to cover "photographers who demonstrate a high calibre of talent, as well as cover family, maternity, baby or kids – along with other subjects."
Um...yes!



Vancouver Mom is a brand new website and it's about blurb says its goal is:

I'm ecstatic to be a part of it and am excited to see the Bonnie & Clyde post up there soon too!
