August On The Road Taking full advantage of being out on the road this past month. With many photographic adventures on my path. Including 2 projections presented in Ottawa (see earlier posts). Spending some time out in the wilderness at some of my favourite stops and the discovery of Amherst Island on Lake Ontario. Toured Amherst Island by Bicycle (If you take the Fairy with only your bike it's ONLY 1.50$ RETURN). The Island gives you a maritime, PEI kinda feel right in Ontario.  With many images upon my return, stay tuned for updates to many of the galleries at jamiejanxjohnston.com  4 Lakes:  Lac Bernard, Melon Lake, Charleston Lake & Lake Ontario 2 Bikes: Amherst Island Tour  2 Cities: Ottawa & Tamworth 2 Projections: Arboretum Festival & John Akpata Live from Mercury

John Akpata: Live from Mercury After many years; ups and downs, life changing events in everybody involved lives. Here's it is. Live from Mercury. John and I have worked on many different projects over the years. Now we have another to add to the list. The completion of this full length listening pleasure. I've had these visuals in my back pocket for some time, and now I'm proud to share this the rest of you. Last nights event also included live painting, great food and another of my projection shows, that got greeted with huge compliments. Here's to another design, photo and projection all in one project!

Arboretum Festival 2013: Projection show Ottawa's Music and Media Arts festival was the setting for my first large format outdoor projection. The projection's called: Tall Pines, Bon Echo Provincial Park & is a new format for me. It's the same principal as my multiple exposure photography, by using a still as the backdrop, layered with video in the foreground.  At the large format of a stone wall (see image above on the right), the size and texture looked great. So here's to more tests and projection dates coming. Thanks #ABR2013 for the invite, the food and beer.  Tall Pines, Bon Echo Provincial Park, Ontario from Jamie Janx Johnston on Vimeo .
