Music Therapy Month 2022

Here is a video I created for Trillium Health Partners.

March is Music Therapy month. At THP, we’re fortunate to have two Music Therapists who work with patients. They use music to improve motor skills and work towards cognitive and socialization goals.

"Music therapy is important because it really allows people to pay attention to all parts of who they are; physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually and find ways for them to connect to those areas in a way that is natural and fun for them.” Christina Weldon, Music Therapist, THP.

Hello Begonia and Congrats!

Congrats to Winnipeg musician Begonia on her album release. Gave it a listen today and it is just delightful. I’d suggest you give it a go as well! FEAR - BEGONIA

A few years back I shot a few videos of them for a local radio station to promote her music. The band was a pleasure to work with and I wish them all the best on this newest album.

Throwback - Begonia - Juniper

The other night I went to see Begonia and Royal Canoe live at a bar here in Toronto. The show was amazing and I definitely recommend giving those bands a listen if you haven't already heard them. After seeing these guys play I remembered a video I shot/edited of Begonia for Fresh FM and Global News a few years back.

One more blog post 'fore I go

Last post before I sign off for a month. I'll be traveling through China. Hopefully I'll come back with lots of photos to share. Until then here are a few selects from a shoot I did with Versa. These guys were absolute troopers getting dressed down in the cold weather. I was wearing my parka in just about all the images that these guys are wearing the white clothes in. Hardcore if you ask me. These guys were a pleasure to work with, and their music is delightful too.

Make sure you check it out their music video which I have conveniently embedded below. vvv

ALBUM COVER for BURN YOUR WORLD

I had a really cool opportunity to shoot an album cover for a Winnipeg band called Burn Your World. The photo was shot at Elmwood Cemetery here in Winnipeg for their album "A Burden, For All Your Days". This grave is said to be haunted by the ghost of a little boy named Joseph. If you go on the right night people say he comes out to play. I have done stories on local ghost hunters who have photos of mysterious smoke and orbs around this site. Whether it's a camera error or a real ghost is to be debated.

Ghost stories aside, I'm super stoked to get the opportunity to make this album cover for these guys. If you like hardcore music you should give them a listen. The link is below, along with the original photo and album cover. ENJOY! :)
