Shameless Records’ First Showcase (a farewell)
after almost a decade of bringing some of the finest independent music to Canadians, Shameless Records Canada is closing it’s doors in March. i’m sad to see the label close as i’ve been lucky to watch Glen put his heart and soul into each and every artist. Glen put on the first Shameless Records Showcase at the Sidetrack Cafe in November of 2004; featuring Trainsleeper, Dual, F&M and Deon Blyand. i dug up some images from that first showcase.
thanks for all the great music Glen. for all of the hard work you put into pushing independent music forward. Shameless Records and The Wheatpool will be greatly missed. [more pictures after the jump]

Vuescan: how to profile your scanner/film
ok, this is a super techie post. one that probably only a very specific handful of people may glance at and a even smaller amount will actually read. but, it has taken me a long time to work this out and i figure there has to be at least one other person out there banging their head against the wall trying to figure this out. so if you don’t shoot film or don’t scan your own negatives or don’t use Vuescan, now is a pretty good time to stop reading before i bore you.
when i started my Love Your Face project i deliberately wanted to shoot it on film. the depth-of-field control on medium format is much greater than on 35mm. plus the i love the images coming off of my Mamiya RZ67. over the last 6 months i’ve scanned hundreds of frames on a Nikon LS-8000 scanner. though because Nikon’s scanning software is outdated (and not very good to begin with), i use a program called Vuescan. Vuescan has become one of two very popular third-party programs amongst photographers still shooting film, the other being Silver Fast. i’ve used Vuescan for years but only ever for small things or travel pictures. i learnt very quickly that the color of my scans were very inconsistent, and my search to find a way to profile my scanner began.

Happy New Year!!!
Rung in 2012 with my dad, an awesome Brit from Kenya, and almost 400k other people. We were all waiting for the fire works in Hong Kong harbor. Waiting… for 8 hours…. for a 5 minute show…. gotta do it once in my life.
