VILLAGE PRIDE

Once Summer hit, I was ready to rock. The next day I took a drive to Hamilton, Ontario to visit Claire (@stitchfoolery) for Village Pride put on by House of Adam and Steve (@houseofadamandsteve). I got there just in time for some drag performances with some photos of Chimera (@itschimaera), Calypso Cosmic (@calypsocosmic) and Jada (@jadashadahudson). For my gear, I kept it light with the Sony a7II and a 17-28mm Tamron lens which was a terrible idea for trying to capture performances but I got some nice wides and some incredible shots of the supporters and good vibes that day. I even got a fire shot of some graffiti through some trees. I had an incredible time

HAMILTON ART CRAWL

I haven’t been to Art Crawl in Hamilton for years, but when I was asked to go I couldn’t turn down the opportunity. Rain and I met up with Claire to find a spot to setup their crochet booth. I camped in the spot for a bit, watching skateboarders who had a taped off spot down the block and watching people filter through the streets. We got there at a good time, the sun was shining but it was surprisingly chilly for a June evening. Once we were settled in, I took a walk down James St to take in the full event and came up with some really good compositions and a lot of portraits

ALICE IN BLOOMLAND

I’m incredibly excited to be sharing my first photo walk of 2025. I brought a Sony a7iii to the Royal Botanical Gardens for their “Alice in Bloomland” after dark event. It was such an amazing night with great friends, neon lights, massive gardens, and Alice in Wonderland theming everywhere. Big love to Chante and Claire for being part of my photography journey and shout out to Claire for her inspiring crochet Bunny Jester costume she made for this event that took these photos to the next level.

NIGHT OF ART

Niagara Falls has an event once a year called The Night of Art at the end of summer. I brought my camera along to see if anything catches my eye. I didn’t get many candids but I did ask a few artists to pose for a quick portrait. One being my friend, Mandy and 2 other women that I met that night who I had struck up conversation with, Trish with the beautiful paintings and Olga with her cute puppies

1492 LAND BACK LANE

My good friend Shawn plays keys in a band called Ol’ Child. They played at 1492 Land Back Lane as part of the Unity celebrations for their success in protecting their land. I didn’t have the best lens to get tighter shots of the band as I was trying to respect the space but I really like the overall vibe that I got in these photos.
