Almost here!

With the amazing weather of late, I'm thinking about starting up Park Your Tattoo soon! Hoping to start getting out there and shooting in the next few weeks...so early May.

Watch this space for updates as to when and where I'll be with my camera!

Still shooting

So I'm no longer loitering in parks (I'm sure the cops are happy to hear that), but I'm still working on Park Your Tattoo. The difference this time is that I'm coming to YOU.

Today I'll be at Church St. Village parks starting as of 10.30am.

I'm doing midday & weekend photos for the next few months.
Drop me a message on Twitter: @35mmMonkey or email me: parkyourtattoo[at]gmail[dot]com and we'll work something out!

And for those who have already posed for me, fear not! I'll be sending you copies of your tattoo via email in the next week or so. Thanks for coming out and letting me capture your ink!!!

C'mon out and get shot!

Bringing the park to you!

So the first two "Park Your Tattoo" sessions were small, but HUGE on the fun & laughs.
I've since managed to take more tattoo photos, basically by cornering my tattooed friends when we're by trees & open air spaces. This seems to be working really well!

Going forward, I'm going to adopt a more gorilla shooting approach. Though loitering in a park for several hours is fun, people aren't big on structured schedules, so the yield is low. I'm hoping to be able to catch people on the fly the majority of the time, and do a few scheduled park sessions here & again.

Contact me at: parkyourtattoo@gmail.com if you'd like to have your tattoo snapped.

Tomorrow!

Sunday July 10th from 4-6pm in Trinity Bellwoods park @ the Dundas/Crawford entrance (down the hill).
I'll be chilling out in the shade.
Can't wait!!

It's coming!

I'll be starting the Park Your Tattoo project this weekend!
I'm looking at the afternoon of Sunday, July 10th to kick start the project.

What park should I start in?
Start naming 'em.

Park YOUR tattoo

I've been looking for a summer project & here it is....

Portraits of the tattooed masses in various parks around Toronto. Sounds simple enough, right? Later on I'll give it the 35mmMonkey touch & hopefully have an exhibit later this year/ early next year.

What I'll be doing via this blog is announcing the day, time and park I'll be shooting in. All you have to do is show up, sign a release, and have a few photos of yourself and your ink shot. Depending on the number of people who show up, your time commitment would be less than an hour 15 minutes. All who participate will receive digital copies of their photos.

Sneak previews will be posted throughout the summer, cause heck, why not?
