Come to the Garden…Booth 505 at the Artist Project Toronto

Chris Hutcheson — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 01:38:50 +0000

This coming March 1 through 4 I’ll be showing new work at the Artist Project Toronto. I’ve participated in this show for five years, and it is, for me, one of the best events of the year.

The show is at the Queen Elizabeth Building at the CNE, and I will be in Booth 505. [...]

Chris Hutcheson — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 17:49:55 +0000

Here are my images from this past Wednesday’s Free Concert Series event at the Four Seasons Centre – Hilario Duran and Robi Botos. What a terrific performance – two excellent musicians, terrific tunes, and a packed house. Over too soon, and a show that should go on the road.

Here are my images from this Tuesday’s concert in the Richard Bradshaw Amphitheatre – a collaboration between members of the young artist programs at the Canadian Opera Company and Opéra de Montréal. I’ve photographed these collaborations for the past 3 years, and the performances just keep getting better and better. Great [...]

Chris Hutcheson — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:26:13 +0000

Here are some of my images from the Canadian Opera Company’s production of Tosca, currently in performance at the Four Seasons Centre. Some performers on this particular evening were alternates – specifically, Julie Makerov as Floria Tosca and Brandon Jovanovich, as Mario Cavaradossi.

This was the second main stage production [...]

Here is a selection of images from this past Tuesday’s performance at the Richard Bradshaw Amphitheatre – part of the Canadian Opera Company’s Free Concert Series. Students from Humber’s program are off on a trip to Mexico, and we had a taste of what they’ll be doing there. I think these [...]

Nikon offically discontinues the D300s and D700, according to nikonrumors.com

Chris Hutcheson — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 16:02:10 +0000

On nikonrumors.com word has it that the Nikon D300s and D700 are “now officially discontinued.” In the comments on the nikonrumors post, speculators anticipate that we’ll be seeing a rumoured D400 of some sort as well as the heavily anticipated D800. Since I can’t read Japanese, I guess I have [...]

Farewell to the Jerk

Chris Hutcheson — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 19:24:38 +0000

Last year Ruth Gillson, Russell Brohier, Olena Sullivan and I photographed a fashion show/fundraiser at the Real Jerk, of performers who’d be participating in Caribana. This resulted in a series of images I called the Four Glindas. I go back to these images a lot, because I am, immodestly, [...]

Because I like to leave no stone unturned in my quest for a deal, I’ve been checking out the usual spots – Kijiji and Craigslist, for example – for used “pro-level” cameras. I’ve been particularly interested in the Nikon D3S, as, on the face of it, the non-video specs look pretty much the [...]

Do I really need/deserve that “pro-level” camera?

Chris Hutcheson — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 21:18:31 +0000

A while ago I read an article that talked somewhat disparagingly about amateurs who buy expensive”professional” cameras. I read this at about the same time as the release of Nikon’s new D4 flagship camera, at a mere $6000.00. I was considering which internal organs I had left to sell.

These articles run every [...]
