Prairie Dust - Working On A New Album!

That's right folks! Your favourite band Prairie Dust have just announced that they are working on a new album. Band members Rusty Summers (Guitar), Shotgun Lang (Keys), Paddywack Thief (Drums) are in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan right now getting back to their prairie roots to begin recording. To my absolute delight they called me up and flew me out from Toronto to shoot their latest look. For all you up and comers I heard a rumour that they are looking for a new lead vocalist, they will be holding auditions in Saskatoon soon, details to come. On top of all this awesomeness a big reason for the band being in Saskatoon is for the Wings for Life World Run. A not for profit charity event raising money for spinal cord research, it's pretty incredible and you can read up about it here. This huge world wide event is being held on May 4th (aka in 5 hours at the time of publication). So if you didn't love Prairie Dust already you are probably right now googling who the hell they are and are about to fall in love. In any case, check the shots from their latest shoot, they are badass:

Flying in from Toronto. You can really see why they wanted to come back here to get in the zone.

I drop in as guest vocalist on a few of the tracks.

Shotgun Lang demanded I take a few photos of him pretending to be a photographer... (Douche)

Back to their roots! (That might just be the name of their new album)

Check back to my website for further album release details coming soon! Peace!

Toronto! This photographer has a new home.

That's right y'all. I have gone and moved to the big T.O! I have just spent the last 4 months enjoying some quality time living it up in the hot Aussie summer sun, hanging out with my good friends and family. I then completely switched it up and hit some minus 20 degree temps in Hokkaido, Japan for 2 weeks of deep powder snowboarding and city sightseeing. Finally it was onto BC to jam with my Vancouverite and Whistler buddies before flying to the Red Bull Crashed Ice World Finals in Quebec City, and then eventually onto Toronto. After spending a month here already I can thoroughly say I am having a ball (see image below), the weather is slowly warming up and I can feel the energy in the air starting to lift. The cold winter frowns are being replaced by happy spring smiles and if the Raptors keep it up I'm sure we will be in for one hell of a party in the not too distant future. It's nice to be somewhere new, I am looking forward to the challenges that moving to a new city brings, and the good times once they are overcome. I have started to book up some photo gigs and am excited to work with a whole new list of clients, creative artists and inspiring characters. So lets link up! Lets collaborate, work, relax and party together. Whether it's for a coffee to chat shop, a beer to chat life or some shots to chat shit, it's sure to be a bucket of fun! Hit up the About page for contact details. While in town I will be shooting everything from Action Sports, Culture, Food/Restaurant, Corporate, Weddings, Street and Travel photography, I love it all!

Mad love and I'm looking forward to seeing you around. Till then, stay beautiful.
