Atheist Poncho

OK so it’s finally been a bit warmer recently. So here are a couple rolls from the last week. This weekend was the UWO Film Festival. SO I traveled to London to attend that. The film I shot for Nick, Skinema took best overall short and viewers choice. The film that Graham and I shot “The Observer” also screened. Since it’s not 3am I’ve decided to go through and narrate the shots. This weekend was also St Patrick’s day so there might be some festive shots too. Everything is off the zeiss ikon and trix+3.

I’ll start off with a self portrait how original.

This is from dinner with nick and jen.

this woman lives in the annex

Evan and his girlfriend walked by which was funny because I had just run into Evan that day. We invited them in to join us. I forgot about the parallax on this shot

Biker man I spotted while I was walking around on queen after buying some speaker wire. finally spring has come.

you decide.

street entertainer on queen

guy walking his dog on queen.

guy painting on queen

expensive car, expensive ticket. The ticket police were out in storm on this beautiful day.

There are a lot of “punk” characters who hang out on queen (they may live there?) they are not the cleanest folk, neither are Toronto’s garbage receptacles

A hot dog vendor

So I went to London for the film fest and spent the afternoon on Friday with my mom, we had some lunch in Ilderton, where my parents live and I grew up. my mom hates getting her picture taken and will ask me to take this down.

Ryan at the question answer period after the screening x2

People weren’t asking Graham many questions about our film, he shrugged it off.

he’s not too concerned about it.

Ken at the end of my roll, with some dust dried on his face. In his house Saturday morning.

Ken gets to be the start of my next roll, much cleaner

I like the soft short light in the living room.

I wish I had been on the street when I took this, this guy was too perfect. I shot this from my car, my light metre was in my bag so I just guessed the exposure. Came out much better than I had anticipated, all considered.

Saturday night screening and awards begin with some games.

Graham thinking tonight is the night he will be put in the lime light. at the after screening awards ceremony waiting for the judges to return

he enjoys it at first but after awhile decides he needs to shield his eyes.

free food.

some chating

graham eats a whole cupcake, very exciting.

Batman stands watch while Nick flirts with his professor.

The winners were announced, and Nicks film took the top prizes, I guess as cinematographer that’s a win for me too.

Jen at the after party

Ray was a wonderful judge, I hope our working together wasn’t a conflict of interest. oups.

Ray impresses many women with his devilish grin.

Despite being a vegetarian Nick can fit a lot of food in his mouth.

Vanessa wanted to take a picture of me with my camera, so after a quick lesson on range finders she was ready to go. The focus is a little short but not a bad first try. You can see my new hair cut here.

I was trying to get some bounced light here to fill Jens face but the table wasn’t working too well. I wanted a piece of paper or foam core, but we couldn’t find any in the kitchen. I like the shot though. as anticipated a little underexposed but i like it. A pause away from the rest of the party.

this is where I ran out of film and reached into my coat pocket for another roll and realized I wasn’t wearing a coat, which ended my shooting for the evening.

ok
