Artist Report: Pete Kasprzak
Pete Kasprzak - www.seewhatinspires.me
Well known for his urban art, Pete Kasprzak has now extended his creativity to create a clothing line. His art consists of urban scenery that has caught the eye of many including: Starbucks, The Art Gallery of Hamilton, and a well-known publisher who has sold his work to HomeSense and Sears.
His art was also recently scouted by the Elaine Fleck Gallery, which he has been added to her Art catalog. Pete Kasprzak has turned his urban photography to graphics that are wearable. By combining his own photos and his illustration skills, he has collaborated both to make a few sample T-Shirts which are catching on... I know I'm getting at least a few.
For a list of his work, make sure to check out his website: www.seewhatinspires.me
Here's a shot I took at Down With Webster's latest show in Toronto... Light The Night. DeeJay Dave "Diggy" Ferris is wearing one of Pete's shirts.

Down With Webster Light The Night After Party Pics
Hey People,
While you guys wait until I sift though the 700+ stage pics I took @ Light The Night here are some of the after party pics.
I'm gonna leave a detailed write up of the show till a bit later but anyone who was there can vouch when I say it was their sickest show yet!
Down With Webster’s Performance @ the MMVA’s
This just popped up on the Much Music website a little while ago, footage of last nights crazy performance by Down With Webster. Unfortunately they won't let me embed it so you going to have to go check out their link right here: http://www.muchmusic.com/artists/2281/down-with-webster/videos/
Their performance was pretty epic! Fire works on cue to Pats guitar... pretty bauce if you ask me. Kinda sucked that you couldn't really hear Buck throughout the song but I dunno if that was just the TV feed or what. People who were actually there will have to get back to me and let me know if they could hear everything. The boys killed it as usual though. Definitely a good look for DWW. If you keep watching after there is a bunch of pre-MMVA footage and interviews with Cam, Buck and Ty. Check it out.
In other good/bad news, Ticketmaster is now sold out of Light The Night tickets! I haven't checked the other stores but they are prolly all sold out too. Sucks if you waited but hey... you can always buy my press pass... bidding starts at $2000 ...totally kidding, wouldn't miss this one guys :p
Who knows, if you're in the front row you'll prolly see me snapping some shots.
See ya there!

Pete Rock Live @ Sound Academy
Pete Rock - © Marcus Bowden 2009
Can't say much about this show. Pete Rock decided not to grace us with his presence until about 1:45am that night when his set time was suposed to be around 11:30-12... Although I have mass respect for Pete Rock, I think he may need to hang it up if hes gonna keep doing shows like this.
Check the rest of the pics here.

Graff Alley – Queen & Spadina

A bit South of Queen St. W, from Spadina to Portland, this alley is filled with some of the most amazing graffiti I've ever seen. I got there a bit late in the day so I had to work quick before the sun went down but I shot some amazing pieces. From cryptic lettering to some more contemporary pieces, this alley is a tribute to Toronto's graffiti scene. Check out the entire set on my flickr here.

Welcome To CrypticFoto
Me with my D700
Welcome to CrypticFoto,
I just upgraded camera body's from a Nikon D80 to a D700 so I decided to start a brand new blog with a brand new look to showcase my photography.
Here you'll find a ton of my stills from concerts, shows, nightclubs with reviews as well as some landscape and portrait work.
You'll also find some of my own personal interests here such as up-to-date technology updates, new music and random stuff that's on my mind at any given time 
Enjoy and feel free to comment and show some love or constructive criticism.
