And some of my Foo Fighters photos of the Toronto show on June 16th were published on foofighters.com, the Foo Fighters' official website.

Excerpt: I managed to weasel my way into the exclusive Foo Fighters show on Thursday night at Lee's Palace. The show was invite- and contest-winner only; all I had to do to get in (besides begging) was to shoot video and stills of the concert from the front of the stage -- what a pity, I know.

Excerpt: On invitation from Matthew, I broke down and created a Flickr account to host some of my photos. It will simply be a mirror of the Favourites gallery, with the intention of getting other Flickr users to view some of my images and then drop by my website to the see the full collection.

Excerpt: If you're shooting a concert, for example, why not shoot 2 hours of 8 Megapixel images on your 4 Terabyte CompactFlash card, then pick the best ones on your PC later on? Kind of takes the "decisive" out of Henri Cartier-Bresson's "decisive moment".

Excerpt: Some new tunes added to the collection... A week's worth of perfect weather, with swimming, canoeing, hiking, campfires, eating, drinking, and general relaxation does a body good.

A Roller Coaster Ride

Excerpt: Well our train coasted into this hill and as we were starting our way up the lift there was a very loud "bang!", the train started shaking, and then slid backwards down the hill, jerking all of us around and making loud banging and grinding sounds!

B&S, Red Wings and lenses, oh my!

Excerpt: I was also struck by just how "normal" the entire band appeared: no rock and roll haircuts, no leather jackets or pants, and no wild stage antics, just a crew of talented musicians who look like they were plucked from a high school concert band. Made me feel like I could play for them!

Boredom strikes (my pocketbook)

Excerpt: ...down the road when all's been said and done, who knows? Maybe I'll be working on the next Sloan website, that'd be alright. Maybe I won't be working at all (not cool).
