Newfoundland author and Man-Booker Prize nominee, Lisa Moore, wrote in a recent article in the Globe and Mail that her favourite reading spot is in her car and being read to by her daughter, Eva, while on long highway trips in Newfoundland. We shot this photo to accompany Ms. Moore's story.

View Article  Greg Hawco takes EXIT ZERO.

Greg Hawco is a musician and composer from Newfoundland who now lives in Toronto like so many other Newfoundlanders. When we think of Newfoundlanders migrating for work we usually just think of trades people headed to Alberta but at this years Sound Symposium it didn't take much research to see how many great musicians and artists Newfoundland has given Canada and the world.

Sound Symposium is where we cornered Hawco and told him about our documentary film, Exit Zero, currently in production. He was premiering a piece at Petro Canada Hall and graciously agreed to compose the score for our film.You can find his work on Republic of Doyle which is currently shooting its second season on the streets of St. John's.

"What are you doing now that Sound Symposium is over?," people ask. Maybe thinking its kick back and relax vacation time. HARDLY! We are in the final shooting and editing of our, what seemed to be, never ending documentary film, EXIT ZERO, about the history of Newfoundland's migrant workers. This has been in the works since 2006 in one form or another but the film part will soon be finished and expected to air on CBC TV in late August. Look for more on EXIT ZERO in the fall.

View Article  2010 Juno Awards ...have left the building


Well, we finally finished editing and shipping the last of the 2010 Juno Awards photos out to the clients and the many stock requests for now. We shot the event here in St. John's for a couple of editorial and industry clients. It was a long week. We shot in bars and ballrooms, on the Red Carpet, in a mini studio and, of course, the main event at Mile One Centre.

It's always great to shoot alongside our visiting colleagues and the CARAS/JUNO people were awesome with their help and accommodating the needs of a dozen stressed out photographers. Special thanks go to Chris and Charlene!

Here is a photo gallery of some of our favourites.

...and if any knows who the guy was that took the photo of Michael Buble posing with the photographers on the red carpet please let me know at locke@straylight.ca ...or have him send me a copy!!
