Something different – Fashion Art Toronto

April 24, 2013

Christopher Mokrzewski at the Richard Bradshaw Amphitheatre

April 10, 2013
Christopher Mokrzewski had an absolutely wonderful performance at the Richard Bradshaw Amphitheatre yesterday, and I made photos of it.

Victory Commonwealth Wrestling

March 19, 2013
I’ve been getting itchy project feet lately. That’s not to say I don’t still enjoy shooting burlesque, opera, other diverse performances and landscapes, but I was looking for something a little different. I found it.
