A fantastic TED talk with Colin Stokes. It addresses many of the themes and issues I look at in my photographic series 13 - 18. Check it out!
awesome video feature by Andrew Szeto on local artist, friend, schoolmate, and very talented photographer Magida El-Kassis.
Magida has a show of polaroids opening tonight at Mugshots, the Jail Hostel here in Ottawa, as a part of Support Local month in Ottawa… see you there!
ps. keep an eye out for an art cameo by yours truly at about 2:45 in the video :)
This past saturday was Ottawa’s inaugural Nuit Blanche, and it was definitely a resounding success.
Myself and a number of other artists participated in/organized the show Stills in Motion, which was the Festival X/Nuit Blanche collaboration, and took place at Saint Brigid’s Centre for the Arts. We had about 2000 people come through, which is incredible and practically unheard-of for Ottawa.
The image above is a shot I took of my piece in action. Thanks to all who came out, and see you next year!
an amazing video from artist Megan Daalder about art & science combining to affect the empathy our brains feel for others.
a wonderful TEDtalk by Dr. Bréne Brown about the power of vulnerability.
a wonderful video about Ray Bradbury, the author of my favourite short story.
In this video he has some truly great things to say about creation and inspiration. R.I.P to a talented author and fantastic human being.
Alex Prager for Fourth & Main
“When I walked into the William Eggleston exhibition at the Getty, I just knew right then. I can’t really explain why — I guess it’s the same feeling you get when you know you’re in love with someone.”
a great little video about Alex Prager and her process.
