Yelp’s A Carnival Wonderland at the Ayden Gallery (Vancouver, Canada)

Rargh! SMILES!

If Yelp’s “A Carnival Wonderland” party was any indicator of what its community is like, I’ve been missing something big. With people adorned in wings, top hats, and all sorts of glitter, the Ayden Gallery was full of smiles, laughter, and lots of good times. Me – I was stationed at the photo booth. Here are a few of my favourites from the night.

CocoaNymph

Rachel Sawatzky goes all out in full CocoaNymph regalia.

Christine McAvoy

… only to have Christine McAvoy steal her wings moments later.

Daft Punk?

Daft Punk made an appearance. Apparently in France, fans honour their heroes with clown shoes.

Faceaballoonza brought out a different side of the room.

Grrr.

Rawr.

RAWR!

RAWR!

Foodies

Food was another big part of the night. These people had their priorities straight.

Scopez

Dumpsters make for killer portraits.

It’s amazing how fast time flies. Growing up, Gerry (Scopez) and I always wanted to be famous for music. The difference between us? He stuck with it, and I got distracted by photography. Mixed blessing. Maybe time to reexamine my life. Anyways – on June 4th, we wandered Chinatown along with Tessa Tham to get some photographs for Scopez’ upcoming EPK. I can’t explain it, but throughout the day, Gerry gravitated towards dumpsters. Looking back on this shot, his gut couldn’t have been more right.

Standing Out

When talking creative, Gerry wanted high-contrast concepts. Instead of going the easy white-shirt-black-wall route, I opted to try something a little different: motion.

Mellow

As one with many different voices, we made sure we caught Gerry’s more reserved and reflective side too.
