Much news to report, but I'm feeling to lazy to do most of the actual reporting.
Lots of shoots these days 2-3 a week on average. Half and half btwn my own work and paid assignments, both are entertaining.

New models in abundance, everyone say hi to Nikki, Robin, the random girl from the bus, and the cows.


In other news, I'm doing the makeup for most of my shoots now, and getting better in my opinion. I'm also developing an addiction to MAC... a bad one. They do seem to give me a lot of free stuff though, sofar about $100 worth. Nothing near what I spend but im still gratefull... enternally.


I'll definately add more to this later kiddies. Now its off to bed.

Live large,
Tristan

Shoots, Shopping, and Birthdays... Lots o pics.

Journal Entry: Sun Jul 2, 2006, 12:14 PM


So the alt fashion shoot went well... yeah it was a month ago but I couldnt be bothered to update. Pics are in my gallery. Much fun was had by all with the minor exception of me at one point early in the morning as I went to do the first light test... *snap* *crackle* and *pop* is something that belongs in a bowl, not a sound that should come from ones lights(especially when yoiu have 4 mosdels and a makeup artist waiting). Luckly there was a Henrys 15 min away and I droped the strobe off for repirs and exchanged my credit card for their floor model, hows that for service. The shoot went beautifully after that and we even got in some stuff I hadn't planned on.

Big thx go out to Sarah, Colleen, Ainsley, Victoria, and Phil for a great shoot. Check it out at [link]

After that it was back to 80 hour work weeks for a month until Colleens 19th last weekend, a great excuse to book 3 days off work. some definate good times, as the pictures will show.

Making a fake ID for one of the young-uns comin out to Hess. Go Teamwork.



Colleen takes her first step on the road to alcoholism.



Colleen and mark in starbucks having some form of chilled banana nastyness, I'll stick espresso thx.



Giant balloons in a Tim's parking lot, what could be more fun?



No Idea what Mark is doing here...



Random poses at lunch @ olive bistro place.... yeah I forget the name.





We got free cake when they charred my steak out of existance, but by the time I got my camera out....


After that we went drinking and clubing and I wouldnt have trusted my self with my baby so she stayed home. Saw a lot of old friends in hess, bar hopped, got pitas, bought traditional birthday shots, crashed on a floor somewhere... a good night.

Woke up the next day and decided to randomly stop by Kristinas house to see what she was up to/see if the pool was open. It was, I was overjoyed... perfect swim weather... icy cold pool.

We ended up going to toronto to shop... just because I was bored. I got some new makeup for my next shoots from Urban Decay(how I love their eyeliners *swoons*), got got a discount application for MAC since i'm technically a photographer, then bought kristina shoes... because they went with the bag she was getting. You cant get one Item if two match, its simply not right.

More pics now, just a few tho.

Kristina making faces in the foodcourt.


Long exposure shots in the subway and at union.





And finally our little bbq at 1205 King St. W. on my last day in the hammer.
Kristina and Sam.


Well thats it for me, I already put too much effort into this. Have a good one kiddies.

Tristan.

Summer Update

Journal Entry: Mon May 15, 2006, 5:00 PM


God i'm so glad that the spring/summer break is finally here, the break and all the things that come with it just makes me giddy inside.I'm back to actually working... and working far to much(but I have expenses planned, i'll go into more detail later), averaging 12 hour days 7 days a week. Next paycheck should be on the plus side of a grand.For those of you actaully interested I work on a horse farm, mostly backbreaking labour but it has its moments, working with the foals is always a pleasure, we've got three now and two more on the way.Thats really all the work related news I wanted to relate to you my deviantart relations.

what?


Artistically the summer is always great, lots of time to think up new ideas, and money to bring them to life. I'm putting together a series for Alternative Fashion Week in Toronto ([link]). It's currently consuming all my free time, and I love it. Im drawing inpiration mostly from my own mind... I've actually been remembering dreams lately and theres some twisted shit in my head. The other more tangible source of my inspiration is the early(50's and 60's) work of Lillian Bassman, absolutely fucking fab. Dark, grainy, ultra high contrst.... but a bit too... I think classy is the word. My version will be less than child safe. Leather and plastic baby. It gives me shivers just thinking about it, and thats just one shot. I'm still looking for models, makeup artists, and anyone else interested in collaborating on this one.

I want to buy things for this project, I will buy things for this project... So many things. Fabric, prop's, makeup... Hopefully a new softbox if I can scrape together another $500. I'm not even going to think about what its going to cost for the printing and framing. Ok. I thought about it, many times. It's close to a grand, but i'm working on some deals that might chop that in half. Thats it for money news.

Now for the random shit... hmmmm, ya know what? For the first time in my blog history I don't think I have anything random to add.

Enjoy your summers kids,
Tristan

The journey come to an end... R.I.P. 50mm Update

Journal Entry: Tue Apr 18, 2006, 3:03 PM


Update:
Broke my 50mm f/1.8 this morning, guess I just have to be happy that my 300D survived. When the camera dropped the lens hit a desk and sheared the front element right off, and the guts of the lens ended up all over my bedroom floor. One hour and some delicate epoxy work later... err01. Shit. Shes dead.
Ran out to henrys and bought a new one as mine was outside of the warranty covereage by 3 months.
Looks like i'll have to be more carefull in the future.

Thats all kiddies, hope your days are going a bit better.




Hittin the last leg of the school year now, work is starting to build up, exams are looming on the horizon, and my photoshop backlog is actually scary right now. Good times.

Things have actually been in flux as of late... High's and lows like you wouldn't believe, I seem to have gotten over my lil' artistic block and my new stuff was well recieved, more different shit to come. If I can find the time. Fuck. Couple more shoots are being crammed into the end of the year, I'll to be going in a new direction with these ones. Thats all I can say. Its a secret. :D

Gotten back into the sketching again. Finally. Lot's of flowing elements, drawings with distance, concept sketches. Fun stuff just for me. I might post one or two if asked real nice. ;)

Hmmmm, what else... New model who's tons of fun, scarily creative, intense... I'm looking forward to the next shoot and/or party. Yeah, thats you Vic. Pressure is on.

Saw an awesome show last night, if you're in the Hamilton area(and even if you're not) you should definately check out ablockparentcommunity. Thx to Sarah for lettin me know about that one. Some intense visual projections, and the music just added to it.

Well I think i'm off to grab my second coffee of the day, mby get some work done... mby. Fuck. Its not happening anytime soon.



Catch you on the flip side. (Just for the elderly - I'm not talking about heaven)
Tristan.

Life, School, and Suicide Girls.

Journal Entry: Sun Mar 5, 2006, 12:06 AM


Its looking like that time again fellow deviants, thats right i'm going to update my journal again... might even start doing this regularly soon. Those of you who watch me, or just stop in more than occasionally know I only update when I have something to share... or when i'm just really bored so whats the news for t'day you ask? Well I'll be getting right to that.

First off life in general has been busy and hectic, good times with friends and family, partys and the things that go on there, met some crazy new ppl ect... far to many details to go into there. School has also been good, other than those prof's who seem to be able to suck all the life and joy out of an afternoon. They of course are balanced out by those who make it interesting and exciting... why arent there more of you? *sobs* On the other school related note I might be getting a little break soon... that is if this strike we've been hearing about happens, a week off I wouldn't mind but any more than that and i'll be rather pissed as I dont look forward to either losing a semester or part of my summer.

But hey lets get on to the real news I wanted to share... the good exciting stuff! I've been asked to do a shoot for SG [link] (nudity warning kiddies) which I think is god damn awesome. Totally pumped for that... and all the other shoots going on this month. Not quite so pumped about all the catchng up I have to do with post work, but thats what happens when one overbooks.

I should be off to bed now, y'all enjoy yourselves now. ;)
