Shooting The 7th Annual For the Love of Breasts

This photography thing is getting serious. What started out as helping out with shooting an event is becoming a very frequent part of my professional career.

My Chameleon Freelance. Services philosophy has always been to experiment with many different professions and keep on learning into perpetuity. Shooting real events for real money has got me surfing the web hungry for knowledge in photography. As a result, my skills and know-how in photography have shot through the roof in just a minor two weeks!
In addition to my Calvin Klein fragrances committment, my graphic design at Hi-Octane Communications and many smaller gigs, I now seem to be adding a third important factor to my freelance services. Out of the top three, I must say that shooting events has to be the most fun!

A week ago, I shot a Yahoo! Canada party which featured The Trews up close an personal (View pictures here). It was an awesome event.
Last Saturday, I photographed "For the Love of Breasts", a charity event which benefits women with breast cancer. This was one event I did not want to leave from after spending a few hours mingling with party goers and getting some excellent shots in the process.

When the night was over, I stopped by @ Gypsy Co-OP on Queen Street West and stumbled upon a "break-dance-off"! I have never seen dancing like that so up close. Luckily, I had a camera in my hand and captured the most spontaneous dance-off ever! I'll update this page with pictures of the dance-off once I get them organized.

In the meantime, have a look at some of the coolest pictures from Saturday's breast cancer fundraiser:

HBC Christmas Party 2005

I attended this year's The Bay Queen Street Christmas Party and wasn't disappointed.

After a great table service meal, we were treated to a live rock & roll band and other musical talent. This party gave me an opportunity to get to know some of my co-workers out of work as well as meet others who I commonly see @ The Bay but hadn't known up until then.

The party in the Arcadian Court went on until about 12am but some of us knew the night was just getting started and headed off to Joe's and subsequently to MONEY. The latter was jam packed as we danced on a podium to trance and house vibes. The former was quite empty, so we had plenty of dance floor to ourselves.

Thanks for the fun time girls and guys!
