Some new images have been added to the Big Nazo and the Carnival Band flickr set

I’m trying to teach myself to use a new lens for gigs where low light is an issue, any lack of sharp focus or depth of field is entirely due to operator error. Thanks for your patience.

The Carnival Band celebrated Winterruption this weekend on Granville Island.

Big Nazo had considerably better luck than CB at getting on TV. On their blog are clips of Alien Commander Glort and a few of his troupes on City TV’s Breakfast Television. Also, please check the video of the Carnival Band playing for Big Nazo last Saturday.
