Finally back.....

Well this weekend in Toronto was the G20 Summit, which meant protests, lots and lots of protests. Saturday I decided to head downtown to meet up with some friends from Loyalist College and take my chances with the riot cops.


This is just a quick post, more info to be added later!

Happy shooting,

Fresh Start.

Wow. August 5th, 2009. My last post. I feel awful to be honest. 

I have been busy. Started school again in September at Loyalist College for Photojournalism. What a course that is!! The teachers are amazing, classmates are phenomenal photographers and the courses were pretty fun. Never thought I'd be saying this about school, but I actually enjoyed it...don't tell the parents haha.

Anyways after a semester there, I decided to take a semester off, compose myself and make some money. Now since this decision was made I have accomplished a little. Did my first set of headshots, been job searching, and my favourite thing so far - gone to New York Fashion Week. 

What an experience that was my god. 8 straight days on 12hr days or shooting and another couple hours editing after.  I met a bunch of awesome people from all over the world. I was there shooting for my friend's fashion website The Fashion Visionboard Girl (thefashionvisionboadgirl.com). 

Anyways I'm not going to blabber on seeing as there really isn't much new in my life. 

I will be posting a bunch of photos from Fashion Week tomorrow when I get a chance.

Happy Shooting!!

Sorry

I am terribly sorry for the lack of posts lately. I've been so caught up with working and dealing with people I haven't had a chance to post ANYTHING!

Anyways the summers been hectic, did a bit of freelance work for the Toronto Star's Fresh Air Fund, also started shooting private events/parties which has been a lot of fun. 

I'm hoping to get a website up by christmas, so if anyone knows anyone who can help me get that started send me an email at alahodynskyjphoto@gmail.com.

happy shooting!!

David King from http://www.salacioussound.com got me in on the list as a photographer, and I got to meet some people from CUParty.com.

PILLOW FIGHT!!!!!!

This past weekend I travelled home because I was sick. As a result I got to rent some equipment since my buddy Adam invited me to go up to Mount St Louis Moonstone (post below) to shred and take some photos of the DownLow comp.

I was doing my usual creeping of Facebook events and noticed that Newmindspace was throwing a pillow fight at Dundas Square, so I grabbed my cameras and made my way downtown to this chaotic afternoon event. As soon as I got there I could hear the crowd screaming and laughing as pillows were being swung. 

I managed to get some shots from the event, as well as beaten with pillows and covered in feathers. Overall a great afternoon!

Here's my favourite shot from the day.

Enjoy!
