Barber Paper Mill from photojunkie on Vimeo.
I haven’t really done much Urban Exploration lately, mainly because I feel like it’s been over done. However, a couple of weekends ago I found myself at the Barber Paper Mill in Georgetown.
On Friday June 27th, Ladytron played a free show at Harbourfront Centre. Thought I would share a clip I recorded on my Nokia N95.

I was on my way over to The Drake last week and I cut through an alley to get there. That’s where I found this painted on a garage.
So I’m in a room full of hardcore photographers and the question comes up. What do you think?
There’s a new gallery in Parkdale called gallery DK which has been put together by the DK Photo Group. The first exhibit, Mosaic – Parkdale student photography exhibition, opened in the space earlier this evening and runs till April 27th.
In May, The DK Photo Group will have their first group show for Contact called “Anamnesis”. The Grand Opening will be on May 1 @ 7 – 10pm.
gallery DK can be found in the heart of Parkdale at 1332 Queen Street West.
Magazines Canada held their Best On Page event at Maro in Liberty Village this past evening. The exhibited showcased international Magazine Creative work, which in general was print advertising. It was great to see a lot of great photography used in a lot of the ads, which for me was very inspirational. Overall, a great event with a lot of intriguing and original concepts.

Alex Felipe, showcased some of his images from his 3 months journey in the Philippines.

There are two new girls in our household. Yet to be named, but I’m open to suggestions. One of my original thoughts was “Miss Piggy” but it doesn’t quite fit with either of the new piggies. The larger piggy on the right is Lilith whom we have had for a year now.

Accompanied my sister downtown, because she was picking up a new keyboard at Steve’s Music, but quickly decided to check out the newly open EB Games on Queen Street West, just because. That’s where we found a”USED” Guitar Hero III controller for the Wii.
a) it cost us $30
b) when we opened it up at home, despite the banged up box, the guitar itself looked brand new.
I have to equate Guitar Hero for the Wii with relationships, you tend to find them, when you aren’t looking. That’s how I found my first one prior to Christmas.

So it’s been a just over a month now with the iPod Touch and I’m very happy with the purchase. After dragging it to SXSW and toting it to ICE08, I’ve found it very useful in a) connecting to services like Twitter b) checking and deleting email and c) showing off my photos. I even walk around the apartment with the Touch in hand at times, instead of hoping on the laptop or desktop.
With devices like this on the market, I truly see the future of the web being in mobility. It’s unfortunate that data rates in Canada still suck and that wifi isn’t readily free and available.
This past weekend we checked out the Picture The Cure exhibit at the Hotshot gallery. The
retrospective showcase runs until Friday April 4th.
NOTE: I’ve changed a couple of settings in Wordpress, so the images in this gallery should be larger.
Geek Lunch happens every Monday at lunch time. This week it was held at Olympos – Crow Bar Lunch at Adelaide and Princess. A Geek Lunch Facebook group has been setup if you wanna be included in the fold. Next week’s lunch is scheduled for Zoulpy’s (King & Princess)
So basically, I set up this post to try out the new gallery feature on Wordpress 2.5. Still figuring things out, but basically it’s a pretty cool new feature. Ma.tt was telling me about it down at SXSW one night, so I’ve been pretty keen on trying out since then.
