A week ago on April 14th, DJ Pauly D, Down With Webster, Mia Martina and Dru came through Mile One. I spent the entire day shooting, you can get a lot of fun shots when you’re not limited to three songs.

Bryan Adams, April 2012 St. John’s, NL
One of the best live shows I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Click the photos for the full set on Live ‘n Loud.
SirusXM Indie Awards 2012 – Canadian Music Week
Seeing The Sheepdogs was beautiful, Canadian Music Week is my favorite week of the year. This year brought me Dan Mangan. I’m still swooning.
Paul Rodgers was there and joined The Sheepdogs on stage, my rock roots took a moment to let loose during their performance of “All Right Now“

Canadian Music Week 2012
It’s my favorite week of the year, one filled with great music, fantastic food and amazing friends. It’s fantastic covering the events for Live ‘N Loud, click through the photos for the full coverage.
More shots coming up, I’m going to try and constantly update with the shows I’ve been doing… I kinda sucked at doing that last year.
City and Colour – St. John’s, Mile One Centre
There are few shows that come through here in St. John’s at Mile One where you just want to close your eyes and listen to the music. The shows are usually so visually stimulating that it over powers the music, but not City and Colour. Not Dallas Green.
He’s an artist in the truest form of the word.
Shad K – The Rockhouse – January 28th
My friends always hook me up with cool gigs, this one was no exception. I’d caught Shad’s performance at Warped Tour back in 2009, but the vibe of this show was a little different. A little more intense.
Lazybones – George Street Fest
The amount of times Matt and Tim have played, and I’ve been asked to shoot without being able to – is ridiculous. They finally landed in front of my camera at the George Street Festival with a full band and surpassed all expectations I had set. (I’m pretty sure I was the loudest singer during Slow Motion) There’s more of these to come on Live ‘n Loud, plus shots of Elliott Brood and Great Big Sea. However, as the volume of how much I am in debt to Matt for everything he has done for me is something that can be repaid sufficiently, I figure I can spread the word of this phenomenal band through means of my lens.
Over the Top Opens for NOFX
I wish I had gotten shots of the Idlers, great band. Check them out live – so fun.
For now, Over the Top. I was lucky enough to grab shots of the guys earlier in the night during their sound check.
It was fantastic finally seeing a full NOFX show, the last time I saw the band was at Warped Tour, back in 2009.
You can check out the review and photos from the show over at Live ‘n Loud, along with my MMVA coverage which I’ll be posting more photos of.. besides just one of Lady Gaga. 
Over the Top – Sound Check- NOFX
It’s been quite some time since I was front row at a Yesterday’s Hero show, in Junctions over 6 years ago. I still was just excited then, as I was a few weeks ago watching Over the Top opening for NOFX at Mile One.
I wish I could do this every day.
I wish I could dance on a single prayer.
scheiße. scheiße. scheiße.
One night, late last year in the cold Newfoundland winter I wrote out my bucket list. It’s changed, things have come and gone, I’ve scratched small silly ones off of the bottom. Some of the things on the list are dreams from when I was a child. Sing with Mariah Carey (I crossed that off when I sang ALONG to her songs at the ACC while shooting her set), See the Backstreet Boys (twice!), Kiss Nick Carter (not yet! dammit!), take a picture with a burning building (myspace pose?), spend a month in New York in the fall. Some of them are newer and I may never reach… shoot the cover of the Rolling Stone, spend a day backstage shooting with John Mayer or shoot a session in Steven Tyler’s home with lots of large felines.
My hobby is day dreaming. It’s the silliest thing to do, but growing up in a VERY small town after being born in a huge city – there’s a lot left to desire and dream about. I was left with my imagination, which created the weirdest scenarios. I spent all day dreaming of everything possible, writing in journals (I have every single one) to musicians about their music and how it moved me, and how I loved them so much for writing these songs. It was there my bucket list began to grow and from it’s conception there were naysayers and I’m sure as my silly dreams continue there will be many many more. For now I have to keep focused and looking forward and believe I can do this..
Because I just scratched number two off the top of my bucket list – and the moment I did, I said a prayer thanking every single person who ever made that moment possible.
#2 – Shoot Lady Gaga live.
No matter gay, straight, or bi,
Lesbian, transgendered life
I’m on the right track baby
I was born to survive
No matter black, white or beige
Chola or orient made
I’m on the right track baby
I was born to be brave.
Paws up.
