It's been a little longer then expected since my last posting. As you, the experienced internaut, may have experienced with your blog/column/web site, if you let too much time pass it becomes even more difficult to write something that doesn't sound like a laundry list of what-I've-been-up-to's and lackluster anecdotes.
...but I've been really busy with lots of photography work since I last jotted anything down. Just For Laughs - Zoofest ended and I rushed to post all my images from the 60 plus shows I covered.
Zoofest: Once And For All We Are Going To Tell You WHo We Are So Shut Up And Listen - Images by Tristan Brand
I immediately left Montreal for a week in Gravenhurst, Ontario to work on photo-documenting Meghan Deere's ongoing community art project, Theatre Caboodle. This was the follow up to last year's week-long retreat. Most of the company remained the same, but new additions made for a very different year. This was also a return to the site of my serious accident involving a 60 foot cliff and my broken T-12 vertebrae. That incident has made photography a challenge over the past year, but I'm even more determined to get in shape to compensate for my fragile spine.
The group mounted their show "He Always Litters" at the end of the week-long run. Below are some of the shots.
Now I must jump on a plane to Halifax and the NDP convention. I'll be in Nova Scotia for a week shooting not only Politicians, but horses too. Shooting? Poor choice of words?
