And The Juno Goes To...

I had some fun doing this update last year, so after scanning the list of Juno Award nominees for this year and noticing that I had photographed a few of them, so I decided to do so once again.  I said then that I felt very honoured to have had the opportunity over the last few years to photograph several great bands as they pass through town and is still true one year later.  It's also feels great to see these bands do well.  They don't need to allow me to shoot their shows, so when those that do go on to great success, I feel great for them.  So, why not take a moment to go back through the archives and celebrate a few great bands that had very good years of their own.  First up are The Beaches, who had a huge night winning the Juno for Group of the Year and the Juno for Rock Album of the Year, while also performing their hit single, 'Blame Brett', to close out the show.  They were the very first band to grant me a pass to shoot their show and I couldn't be happier for them.  The photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/160sec, ISO 3200 at 24mm.  You can see the other photographs from that show by following the link.  Here are the other nominees and winners that I got to photograph.

Congratulations to all of the Juno Awards winners and nominees.  It's fun for me to go through these award lists because it gives me a chance to look back at what fun I had shooting those shows.  The couple of songs that I get to shoot from the pit goes by real fast, so it's nice to take a moment to revisit some really fun times that I've been able to take part in thanks to my photography.  Here's to hoping for many more good shows in the future.
