What I've Been Up To - Photo Thread
 

Most of you don't know me from Adam, some of you remember me from about 4 years ago when I was last posting here..

In my absence I'd been doing a lot of travelling, writing and photography for Fangoria Magazine, as well as making a couple of LOW budget horror flicks.

I was thinking - if anyone is interested - I could post a bunch of photos here - give you a look at some of the things I've been working on.

Band photography, set photography, some interview photography and a lot shot at conventions. (I had my own column re conventions that I finally gave up when I realized that I never wanted to go to another convention again :) )

Still - I amassed a ton of interesting photos.

If there is any interest I can start popping them in here - if not - understood and I wont bother .. no worries either way

I'm very interested to see 'em!

Burnt yourself out on conventions huh?

you have no idea

speaking of conventions

This is a still I shot from our first film - Blood For Irina

::big grin:: that's an awesome shot of Mr Rooker!

I got him to stick his hand down his sleeve :D

Claudio Simonetti of Goblin.

Got to hang out with him and Maurizio for a weekend - it was an incredible experience

I had to grow a beard for our second film - Queen of Blood ..

my pal Brenden grew one too - but we both had to shave them because the money took so long to come through (I had to eventually grow mine again)

before we shaved them off we went to his trailer and took a few pics for laughs ..

shot while on set (Queen of Blood)

Meeting me was that exciting, huh? ::big grin::

ruined me for all other conventions :)

I recall reading about Queen Of Blood because Nivek Ogre was in it.

yeah he is :)

very cool guy .. i'll have a couple of funny stories to tell about that once everything is out..

i'll put up a couple of cool photos of him tonight

Whenever I go to Monster Mania, I make sure to stop by the Troma table and chat with Ron and Cathy.

Holy moly!! Urge how are you doing? ::big grin:: Very nice to see you here again :) It sounds like you've been very busy over the past few years... me too, but what i've been up to sounds no where near as interesting as your adventures. Add some more photo's and lets see what you've been working on :)

good to see you too man!

i'll pop a few more things shortly :)

Got to shoot this guy in concert

got to go backstage too ..

here's something you don't see every day - the Tall Man laughing :)

here's a shot you dont get every day:

my kid and kevin van hentenryck (basket case)

they played father and son in the film 'Dry Bones'

my kid with 3 of the cast of Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

we actually got to know Gunnar quite well ..

damn Urge....great pics....living the life many of us horror fans could only dream.

kudos brother

You're definitely living the dream man!

Great shot of Kevin Van Hentenryck and Angus Scrimm. Priceless expressions ::big grin::

Would love to see Alice Cooper one day I'm a big fan.

it was a lot of fun but i definitely got stretched a little too thin for a while
there wasnt a moment outside of my regular soul crushing job where i wasnt writing or editing photos for someone or something.

i'll still do the odd thing here and there but i'm enjoying my free time again

Awesome! is that issue #1 of Fangoria? I think I have that. Glad to see you've been keeping busy.

Excellent. Great to see Mark enjoying the company of horror's best glitterati. Proud moments for both Dad and son.

yep - it was a prop in the film..

i have it as well..



i dont know about proud moments - but there certainly were some fun moments

Toronto Zombie Walk

Art Hindle in front of the Black Christmas house.

Art was also in The Brood, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers

one of my favourite photos.

I did 3 interviews with Art Hindle - for a fango piece.
The last one was at his home .. where i got this shot.

Art is wearing the same coat he wore in Black Christmas (and a Canadian Hockey Film called Face Off)

My pal Brenden and I backstage with Alice.
I wanted to hold that snake

The Nightmare Sisters and their director David DeCoteau

One of the tango writers and i did a roadtrip for a web article.
One of a series where the sites used in classic horror films are revisited.

We were doing Carpenter's In The Mouth of Madness.

here's a shot of the asylum - which is actually a water treatment plant here in Toronto

Sutter Cane's home

Nivek Ogre (Skinny Puppy) on set.
(Queen Of Blood)

I would have been nowhere near it! It's my only phobia.

This is Tony Burgess, the writer who penned the novel that Pontypool was based on.

Shot this on a set visit and he liked it so much he uses it all the time, including the back cover of his last book..

Having fun in a Niagara Falls vineyard

(the real leatherface was there - but this wasn't him)

LOL, love it!
