Missed one!

I can’t believe I missed this Rufus Wainwright cover!  Very cool video too. If you don’t have the I am Sam soundtrack, it’s well worth the money. And if you haven’t seen the movie, you need to.

The Beatles

Everyone can use a few Beatle tunes once in awhile. Covers or originals, they’re all good. :)

I LOVE Eddie Vedder’s version of this song.

John Butler Trio

I just typed in the word “John” in youtube this morning, and found this. Amazing….

Vintage rides

Being that our town sits on the Trans Canada highway, we get a ton of traffic in the summertime. Our friend owns the Esso gas station here in town, and from time to time I’ll get phone calls out of the blue from him.  “Tatum, you’ve got to come down to the Esso!”  Sometimes it’s motorbikes, sometimes it’s cars. You just never know.  Even though I’m not very knowledgable when it comes to bikes or cars or any type of motorized anything, I do usually end up having fun taking these shots, and fooling around with them in Photoshop.  Here’s what rolled in over the long weekend.

Summertime

A peak at some of my favorite summer moments….

Music time

I was up into the early hours of the morning last night working, and I was listening to youtube in the background. I was listening to Amos lee, the wonderfully talented Amy Winehouse and one of my latest favorites, John Mayer. I love John Mayer best live (as I do with most of the really gifted musicians. They have a much more honest, real feel to their live stuff).  I know that JM seems like he might be quite a jerk in real life (from the tabloid stuff you read anyway), but the man has an undeniably romantic stage presence. Here are a few clips from his Live in LA set.  I listen to this Cd at minimum 2 full work days per week. It’s just one of those ones you never get sick of.

 

And an Amy Winehouse clip, to show that despite her media attention for the wrong reasons, this girl can sing!!

Now, back to editing. Wolseley grads, your post is still coming up. I didn’t forget about you!! There’s just around 1400 files to go through with your class, so it’s taking me some time!!

Autism

I recieved an e-mail link from a friend this morning, and I was so moved to tears by it, that I wanted to repost it on here. This is a video clip from Medical Mysteries about a girl who has autism.  Her parents were relentless in pushing her to excell, despite her illness. They are now seeing how all their efforts with therapy and love have benefitted her and improved her quality of life. It’s an incredible story, if you have 9 minutes to spare….

Amos Lee

I haven’t posted anything music related lately with it being so busy, but this is worth posting……

Follow Up on Green Family Fundraiser

I just wanted to give a  little update on the fundraiser that’s been going on at the studio for the past few weeks. In case you didn’t know about it, you can find it in the archives from March, on the second page. For some reason, I can’t seem to set up the link for it directly. So if you care to check it out, it’ll just take a little work!

I’d like to thank everyone who came in to get a facebook profile picture done, as well as those of you who sent money just because you wanted to show your support.  $250.00 was raised. I wanted to give recognition to those people who donated, so here’s the list. Thanks so much everyone.

Jessica Prebushewski                  Shelley Schatz                     Karlie Bigknife                    Anne McPherson                    Jenna Maxwell

Carla Saleski                                    Chrystal Shauf                     Raylene Frier                      Nicole Rieger                            Taylor Broda                     Leigha Gerhardt

I know there were others who had wanted to come, and it just didn’t work out. Thanks for trying though. I know it’s a bit of an effort to get all dolled up to come in and only do a 5 minute session.  Because the numbers were a little lower than I had anticipated, the studio will match the donations made, so the Green family will recieve $500.00 on behalf of the studio and clients that helped out.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.  :)

The Details

I just wanted to put a plug in for an old friend. His band, The Details, has been doing really well for themselves. They’ve released a full length album, so I thought I’d post the link to their site.  Check it out if you’re into finding new music!  The guy I grew up with is Shawn, in the blue hoodie. I remember hanging out in his basement in high school, and he’d play all sorts of stuff on his guitar. It’s cool to see how his passion from when we were kids, turned into something that he was able to make a career out of.
