Trouble In The Camera Club book launch 2011

One year ago today my book Trouble In The Camera Club had its launch at the Garrison. What a fantastic party that was! I have been so honoured by the response and support the book and I were given. Thank you to everyone who attended the launch, bought the book, took it out of the library, wrote, talked or blogged about it, the venues and festivals that hosted my slideshow/talk, and all the people who wrote to me sharing their sometimes similar experiences. Thanks to the individuals and bands who I photographed or who made a real revolution happen, and to everyone whose X-Acto knife and gluestick flyers helped make the book so visually rich.

Thanks again to the people who performed at the launch, designed the book, and to ECW Press for releasing Trouble In The Camera Club. The positive feedback I continue to get about it made a very long journey worthwhile.

There are still 20 limited edition versions with 7″ single, despite most people’s belief that they are long gone.

I believe the photo above was taken by Joanne Brigmantas and modified by Rojer Moxie Streets – the first other “punk” I knew!

Live in 1996, maybe in St. Louis. Totally gravity defying.

Photos at Thirsty & Miserable

The former location of The Greeks tavern in Kensington Market has been taken over, cleaned up, made all pretty, and is now Thirsty & Miserable. Owned by Martin Farkas (known to some as singer of the great Career Suicide) and his biz partner Katie Warrior (guitarist of the late Brutal Knights), Thirsty & Miserable specializes in small craft and unique beers. I’m honoured to have my photos on the walls of their hot new endeavour. Go have a drink with these good people and look at some large photos!

Thirsty & Miserable is at 197 Baldwin St. Photos are up indefinitely.

The Diodes’ John Catto wants TITCC for xmas!

But you should maybe check first so he doesn’t get three copies.

The Diodes guitarist, recently in Toronto as part of a tour celebrating being named the best Toronto band of all time, has added Trouble In The Camera Club to his wish list in this week’s Now magazine.
