Toronto Indies Music – Maybe Refuge | Band Practice Time Lapse | April 30, 2010

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

A couple of weeks ago, I was looking for some sort of suction cup I can use to mount on my car to take time lapse video. As it turns out, I found the Delkin Fat Gecko suction cup and started playing around with it. I mounted it on the side of the inside window and drove off to my friend’s band (Maybe Refuge) practice before their show.

The whole video was shot on a Canon 5D Mark I on manual, the whole series of photos took about 3 hours.
Here’s a quick time lapse video from that band practice.

Toronto Wedding Photos | May 2, 2010 | Alice & Carl

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

May 2nd was the first wedding I shot this year and it was just a privilege to start off this year with a lovely couple Alice and Carl. We first shot the engagement photos in early April and within a month, the day finally arrived. Both the ceremony and the banquet were held in Hai Shanghai Restaurant in Toronto. All night long, the event was filled with a lot of love and fun, with their best friends as bridesmaids and bestmen/groomsmen, many wonderful speeches were made.

Here are some photos from that day.

My friends at Maybe Refuge was asked to play two sets at Chimeira Lounge the past saturday. As usual it was very fun witnessing them play yet another great acoustic show. As they have not found their drummer for the band, Kevin Mok of Violets and Viruses was featured as this show’s guest drummer.

Here are a few photos from the show.
