This image is part 2 of 4 of a series printed directly onto metal currently on display at the Joseph D. Carrier Art Gallery in Toronto in the show "Made In China".

“Made in China”, explores an array of beauty and traditional culture beyond the stereotype of consumerism. It brings to life the essence of China, a country of endless exploration. The photographs from the body of work “Made in China”, will present various styles, formats, and genres through the eyes of each of the twenty – two photographers in attendance.

This show is part of CONTACT - “An annual festival of photography in Toronto, during the month of May, with over 1000 local, national and international artists exhibiting at almost 200 venues. CONTACT is the largest photography event in the world, and a premiere cultural event in Canada.”

Felisha & Kris Wedding Preview

Now I don't shoot weddings often; however, when it's a destination wedding to Punta Cana and it's a amazing couple like Felisha & Kris who can decline? It was an amazing trip with a lot of memorial moments one of which is that it was my birthday the same day as the wedding and the bride and groom decided to get the waiters to give me a lap dance.....like a said not your ordinary couple.

Anyways check out a few of the images bellow and a preview of the highlight reel. I'm still working on the images a full post should follow by next week.

Kris - Groom

Felisha - Bride

Danielle - Groomsmen/girl also my roommate from China

I didn't get a chance to go into town for long but did mangage to sneak off the resort for a bit on morning.

I think thats their president in the background

Saw this kid baby we stopped by the church but didn't get a chance to 

take her photo, luckily we saw her again while passing by another church.

The Hanging

It's been a long time coming but it's finally done. Made In China is officially hung! Started at 6:30 p.m. and ended at 1:00 a.m. :0 time really flys when you have stuff to do.

Be sure to come and check out the show, by far this is one of the best student exhibition set ups of these trips I've seen so far. A lot of interesting framing, mounting, and images. This is not your average exhibit to say the least.

I'll be posting photos and video of the opening reception later this week in the meantime here are a few images from location during set-up :)
