V.A. rocks your liver

A fun little Innes Clothing/Marisa Dal Santo clip with a Verbal Abuse sound track!

Rainy Day

I made a mental note to save this picture for a rainy day. I didn't think that day would come so soon. The brown grass is happy, the leaves are back on the trees and Kyle Nickoshie has big ollies!

Rhyme pays

ICE-T pre-Law & Order (Iceberg Tour with ICE-T, Afrika Islam and Donald D., 1990 Winnipeg Convention Centre if memory serves correct). Notice the Winnipeg Blue Bombers shirt.

Back and forth forever

An impromptu "air out" battle at Komenda went down this fine Monday evening. I am exaggerating about the battle, but there was definitely some fun going down.

1990-Mosh?

I promised to look up some old photos of a local band Crown of Thorns for a friend....I have yet to find the negatives, but in the meantime here's some 1990 or very early 1990's Dayglo Abortions crowd shots from The Albert that I stumbled across in my search.

There are a lot of familiar faces and memories in these photos.

As always...more to come soon!

Lost and Found

A friend inquired the other day why I hadn't posted any Agent Orange pictures from the show last year as he remembers seeing me with my camera(s). I then explained to him how I had LOST the film! I put it aside to process at a later date and it disappeared.

I was bummed out over the missing film. I picked up Agent Orange's 1981 release on Posh Boy "Bitchin' Summer" many, many years ago at the U of M bookstore (they used to be one of the places to go for hardcore LP's and 7" records...complimentary trivia for the locals). Agent Orange was a staple hardcore band for skaters. I had always hoped to see them live and had figured I had missed my chance. Fast forward to 2009 and I finally get an opportunity to see them play at The Albert.

By chance the other day I was searching for a thermometer in a cabinet when I knocked over a photo chemical container. When I was reaching around in the dark cabinet to find the container...voila! The film!

For Cain...I'm posting a few shots from both of my cameras.

Return to Winnipeg

A week ago Sunday I met up with my friend Sean who recently returned from abroad. He showed me the Honda Ruckus that he picked up shorty after his return. Sean's no stranger to scooters as him, one of his brother's and their friends used to tear down and rebuild old Vespas and Lambrettas down the street from where I resided in the early 90's.

This Honda actually reminded me of one of the ratted out Lambrettas that was worked on in their garage

The same day I got a message from a friend who just got in to town for a four day stay from Calgary. Keeping in touch is good, but seeing an old friend for the first time in twenty years is amazing!

Thanks for the visit Euphoria!

Keepin' it real...

One word...awesome!

All in a days work...part II extended remix

A post supper skate session at Komenda was in order

Jacqui rulz!

All in a days work...part II

7 days later...shame on me. Fortunately I can tell you part of the reason for delays between posts is due to a little more skateboarding and a little less picture taking of the same.

Here's Bill aka Will with a backside from some over-vert in to the 1/2 at The Forks.

More photos coming. Check back soon!

All in a days work...

Welcome to my Saturday. Started off with some pancakes obviously (and strawberries), some late morning/mid afternoon skateboarding, photo taking and ended up catching Bobcat Goldthwait's act during a "hot date" at Rumor's.

Carl dropped off some mixed CD's for the boys

You're probably wondering who's scooter is parked behind this postal box?

This photo should help...and if you're still lost click here

No pictures of Bobcat...sorry. The End

The Neglected part III

For the sake of keeping the blog flow going when I have yet to be out shooting this week...another neglected photo from the archives. Jeff Krahn seeing what's coming at him via stage dive with Wes Pearson on the right 1991

Random find in The Exchange...

Sweets and Treats

Roommate # 1 selling the goods made by himself and donated by his fellow vegan baking type peers. Check out the size of those doughnuts. Awesome!

Some Easter themed cupcakes

Big line ups and a few plate fulls like this sample here and voila! Another $600+ raised for a good cause.

Beautiful women always deserve a double take!

Nice people just won't quit doing nice things...

A last minute reminder... This starts today at noon! At The Albert. Bring your sweet tooth and your pocket change. Vegan baking, home made vegan ice cream, proceeds to a good cause. Need I say more?
