This past Tuesday, The Rockhouse hosted 3 killer bands from the 90's, and for someone who grew up with a lot of music from that era, it was definitely a flashback to say the least. As soon as I hear the 'So Much For The Afterglow 20th Anniversary Tour' was coming through town, I knew I had to photograph it. Luckily, The Walleye asked me to cover it and my wife Anne to try her hand at reviewing the evening.

Keewaytinook Internet High School - Celebration Dinner
Along with weddings I also photograph a lot of different events in and around Thunder Bay. Last week, I had the pleasure of covering the Keewaytinook Internet High School Graduation Dinner. It was a very laid back affair, but one that was very important to the students and family of friends too. All the graduation students were from various First Nation Communities across Ontario, including Fort Severn, Fort William and Keewaywin to name a few. All in all, there were a total of 17 graduating students.

Burlesque!
With more and more great shows being put on week in and week out, it's hard to keep track and know exactly what to get out and watch. Luckily, that decision was made for me recently, when The Walleye asked me to take some photos of Burlesque! I got two tickets so my wife Anne joined me. We didn't really know what expect going in but we were pleasantly surprised.

Read MoreThe Walleye - Breakfast Issue
Last month I was asked by The Walleye to photograph a few different breakfast dishes at various restaurants in Thunder Bay, for the upcoming breakfast issue, which is out now!

Indigenous Peoples' Court - Community Celebration Dinner
When I was asked to photograph the Celebration Dinner for The Indigenous Peoples' Court, I was first honoured to be chosen to capture it, but also excited to be a part of it as well. All in all, I would estimate that there were about 150 people there. Don't quote me on that though. It was such a great turnout and there were a lot of special speakers attending as well.

Yo Chef! Round 4 @ Daytona's
Last night, Daytona's in Thunder Bay, hosted Yo Chef! Round 4. It's a wonderful event that essentially pits some of Thunder Bays' best chefs against one another, by preparing dishes for a select panel of local judges. As I mentioned above, it took place at Daytona's, just like the previous events, and it as an absolute packed house. That's the important part too because the all the proceeds go towards Our Kids Count of Thunder Bay.

This past Saturday ended up being a pretty busy day for photography as I ended up having two photo assignments. One was a surprise wedding which I will be posting shortly, and the other was a Christmas party for ONWA, which is what I am showcasing here in this post. Anne an I were invited to the party to enjoy some dinner and entertainment but just as I was finishing my small wedding ceremony that evening, I was asked to photograph some of the Christmas Party too.

Bif Naked with Jordan Alexander @ Crocks
It was another great night of music at Crocks this past Thursday. Unlike my previous concert with Buckcherry, this was more of a laid back affair which was a nice change.
