Sure, who I am as a person is a collection of past experiences culminating to create this world view of mine. But let’s look at my past; it’s a mish-mash of lost love, unrequited love, books read, idea’s found and lost, bad writing, convictions held and people forgotten. Are these experiences some sort of means to an end? Am I doomed to repeat a history I want nothing to do with?
Every year we find the time in our busy schedule’s to get together and enjoy a massive Christmas dinner. This year it was hosted at Sean and Vanessa’s apartment in the Plateau. Thanks to both of them and to all my friends for putting up with my camera and flash.
Testing out my new PT-04 Flash Triggers from China and Vivitar 550fd. Took a picture of the dog we’re watching for the week, the evil cat that lives with us and my pet deer, Burt Reynolds.
Bought a new lens recently, Tokina 20-35mm f3.5. I also went to Ottawa this past week(thanks to Jade & Joel for letting me crash)
Took some test shots of two of my roommates and Jade and I’m pretty happy. Very sharp but with some focusing troubles.

Finished a photoshoot for the band Line Spectra. Very happy with the results:
My families history in Montreal has always been a source of pride and interest to me. There is a lot I do not know and a lot no one seems to know. My grandparents were born of Polish immigrants, my family has a rich history in the Jewish and Masonic communities of Montreal and continues to.
Sadly, with the death of my grandmother this year, many stories have been lost. Before she died I was able to grab these pictures.

These encompass the lives of the Struser’s.

I borrowed some studio strobes from the wonderful Robin Hiltz Hart yesterday for a shoot I did today. I was taking pictures of the band Line Spectra but figured that since I have these strobes for a day or two, I might as well have some fun! Here are two of my roommates, Will and Brian:
I’m very happy considering this is my first time using such a set-up.
