New favourite film stock might just be @kodak #colorplus200. It’s the cheapest they sell and the colours and contrast are remarkable. Skin tones are also quite lovely and neutral, leaving you a lot of room to grade to taste. All photos are straight out of camera, no edits.

I’m not one to post (or take) self portraits. But at the start of the lock-down I got an idea to involve my friends in a self portrait challenge of sorts. “They” say that learning to take good self portraits is a great way to improve your portrait photography as a whole. So armed with that I asked @effieedits.inc @francesbeattyphoto and @evanmitsui - three professional photographers, to see who can make the best self portraits as judged and outlined by fashion model & photographer @chelseyboll. If you’re a fan of the @tryguys the I think you’ll enjoy what we did. Watch the full video of all our shenanigans at youtube.com/vistek.

#VLPW10 Nº2 @niceness.me
I met Janice last year on set of an BMO commercial. Hard to believe that she only started acting recently - but has become an instant favourite of directors and casting agents. I’m nearly certain you’ve already seen her in one of the 30+ national commercial spots among other film & television credits. She has an unforgettable joy and enthusiasm that warms up every room that she enters. I truly remarkable human being who I am filled with such gratitude to befriend.

Yesterday I got a very swift chance to push some buttons on the new @canoncanada #EOSR5. I met up with my buddy Nick Varney and he did some tricks for me. Fun and powerful release from Canon. Should be a big hit. Wish I had more/better shots but had to move fast. Full camera review up on @vistek YouTube page. Big thanks to Canon and @thecanonrep for letting me play with it ahead of the launch.

Black boxes are just the start. PLEASE go to black lives matter.carrd.co for ways that ACTUALLY move the needle. It’s time for justice. It’s time to take down the institutions and leadership who drive exclusion and hate. It’s time to change the world.

Originally it was for Pride 2020, but the awesome people at Pride quickly pivoted and created #virtualpride2020. Thank you to my amazing team!

Before the confinement, I’ll admit that I took climbing for granted. Now, I surprisingly miss the routine, the exercise, the adventure. Eventually we’ll get back to it. In the meantime it’s nice to remember some good trips. This is one from last year in France with @emilien_0710 in the Vercors. Shot on some type of expired film, I can’t remember. Developed by the fine folks at @downtowncamera .

Gratitude & taking stock of what I do have in unce

Gratitude & taking stock of what I do have in uncertain times. The best time to count our blessings is when we feel our most vulnerable,
This year, thanks to @merzetti & @lifebesidesarah, I was asked to shoot the 2020 @pridetoronto campaign. While the actual event may be up in the air right now, I’m super grateful for the opportunity to have worked with Pride. Why, you may ask? I don’t identify as LGBTQ+, but I firmly identify as an ally.
I grew up in a very rural area in southern Manitoba. Not much different from the highly conservative mid-west of the USA. When I was young, I had never met anyone who was openly gay. That made me fear them and made them an oddity. I felt the same about anyone First Nations, Asian, or Indian, and the list goes on. Ignorance breeds this. Add religion to the mix, and you now have even more justification of us vs them. I remember catholic parishioners talking about protestants like they were a cult. That made me fearful of protestants, even though all my friends were that.
I’m an agnostic today, yetI still remember how ignorance fuelled so much fear and hate. It was always about someone else being weird, and heaven forbid if you were a little different yourself.

I came to Toronto 20 years ago, when most people I knew told me the city would eat me up and spit me out. In that time I have experienced every type of human and way of life. At first I judged, as a bad habit. Slowly, and over time, I became less ignorant. I met more people, heard more personal stories, and discovered so many new and wonderful things.

I’m a better person today because I became informed, open to change, and not to fear. I live in the best city in the world. Not because it’s beautiful (it’s mostly a dump, and I’m happy to admit that), but because of the beautiful people in it. I’m grateful for all the humans, allies, and those who are champion causes for equality and justice. In uncertain times, I feel richer than ever before, and so much less afraid.
Thank you Toronto. I’m very proud.

#VLPW10 Nº1 @leannensmith_ I met Leanne last fall

#VLPW10 Nº1 @leannensmith_ I met Leanne last fall when she was a lead actor in a short I DP’d. Beyond her remarkable acting talent, she is also an integral part of the all-female @counterbalancecollective that produced eight others shorts in 9 days. She is a hard core hustler on every level.
She’s produced & acted in two series - one of them being @fakyaass on @outtv; all the while she maintains a rigorous personal athletic training business @phat_fitness_. She said sometimes it feels like she is working four jobs at a time, but also said that it’s incredible what one can accomplish when they buckle down, focus, and hustle.
So here’s to all the hustlers out there.
Go live yo’ best life!
