It has been eons since I logged on here (a decade pretty much), So I will consider this a new start
And deliver some news
I have definitely been doing a lot of different things with my photography over the decade. I rarely shoot music now and am focused more on developing as an artist and doing promotional shoots for other people
All that said the news is I have a small show coming up on March 23rd, the theme is Toronto Noir and will feature 6-7 16 x20 images printed on metal
the opening is 5-9 pm,  at SaulterStreet Brewery, 2 Saulter Street in Toronto, on some miraculous half-assed chance you still have me bookmarked maybe you will come and see what I have been up to ;)  Expect to see more from me now (tbh I had forgotten all about this page 😇 )

POSTPONED DUE TO COVID19 NEW DATE TBD ONCE

REOPENING DATES ESTABLISHED.

Mudhoney @ Yonge Dundas Square NXNE 2010, originally uploaded by Eddie Smith.

On Thursday at NXNE Mudhoney opened for X. 45 minutes of no stop punk that showed why they are truly the inspiration for the seattle scene that emerged. click through to my Flickr for the rest

Billy Zoom from X
Show at Dundas Square as part of NXNE 2010
Billy plays the most difficult licks and makes it look simple, how hard they are to replicate get's him steady studio work from people wanting to cover X and finding out they are punching over their weight
Probably in my top 3 guitarists
nice amps too if you can afford it and convince him to build you one

The Zeros @ the El Mocambo NXNE 2010

First Video I ever shot last Saturday at NXNE. First Gen 76 punks the Zeros from Chula Vista played the Toronto's legendary El Mocambo (yep the place the stones played when these guys were starting out) Frequently called the Mexican Ramones they actually predate the Ramones and are more truly the mexican heartbreakers. Great guys, Robert from the band now performs as ElVez (definitely worth seeing) unfortunately he was out on tour with ElVez and missed this gig. Search them out I guarantee you'll like them. And this would give a good idea of the music that has shaped my life and taste in music. Sound is a little distorted (I shot really wide and was right over Mario's monitor live and learn)
