Toronto Pride was a blast on Sunday. Danced in the street, had some drinks, and saw heaps of familiar faces. Ran into my sister on Church!

Met a lovely deaf couple on a patio and fully had a conversation. It was nice to put my sign language skills to use. My ASL used to be pretty good but when you don’t use it, you lose it.

This lovely boy on the left is my friend from Ted Baker’s 25th birthday party.

Renaldo and I have photos from the last few years at Pride. Always with the great outfits!

Love these outfits. Want one. Do NOT love his shoes. Those things creep me out.

These animals really creeped me out.

The rest of the photos below are less safe for work so this is your warning! Hope you had a lovely long weekend.

Much love and light,

This was fun. It was super busy! Seas of people wearing neon and bad outfits. I didn’t take my DSLR, thought it might rain. Street style would have been a real hoot. Nice to see Azari & III on the Echo Beach stage. Heaps of people who were total zombies by the end of the night. You won’t believe the vibration from the speakers backstage. Overall, awesome experience for first Digital Dreams. Cheers to Bacardi for a fun day!

Pink Hair, Don’t Care – Kevin Murphy Color Bug

Pink Hair, Don’t Care – Kevin Murphy Color Bug

I love love love this Color Bug product by  Kevin Murphy (Australia). I’ve been using it for a few months. Colour in, wash out. It works like a chalk on your hair and is a totally perfect perk up when you need to get your roots done! Works on all different hair shades and comes in a variety of colours including pink, orange, lime green, white, purple, and GOLD.

This morning I was feeling Friday lazy, plus am about to go get my hair done tonight, so threw this in with a couple curls and VOILA. Stopped to snap a few photos with my new DSLR on the way to work. I’m looking to teach a Master Class in Self-Photography one day.

Peace out peeps, hope you hae a killer Friday night. I’m heading for a drink with the girls from work, then hair appointment, and probably a wild night at home watching a movie with my love. Mum is coming to visit tomorrow and I’m so glad it’s a long weekend.

Keep fit & have fun, <3 CASIE

Canon Blogtography – Step Outside of Auto!

#canonblogtography @casiestewart

A couple weeks ago I announced my partnership with Canon as a Brand Ambassador and over the past month  I’ve been playing around with my new DSLR. The Canon Rebel SL1 is a compact 18 mega pixel camera with touch screen and whole bunch of features I’m not quite versed in yet.  I have heaps to learn. 

Canon has awesome resources and I’ve been playing on canonoutsideofauto.ca but the real way I’m going to learn is TAKING PHOTOS. I’m just getting used to using a DSLR. I’ve got a pretty good eye for composing a nice shot but right now aperture and ISO feel like new languages. Once I  learn and understand exposure (ISO, shutter speed and aperture), I’ll be in business. I know it won’t take too long!

I’ve been playing around with ISO and exposure. It’s super neat how one photo can be so different by changing just one or two things.

This little Rebel has built in filters too. So, naturally I took a few selfies in the park to test them out.

This weekend I’m shooting Digital Dreams music festival and in August I’ll be shooting Disneyland and California! Staring in next month have a weekly fashion column for Dose.ca. This is where those Canon skills will really come into play. I’m excited to take my blog to the next level!

Below are a few photos I took using (gasp) auto to get used to using the camera.

 One of the most beautiful things, a perfect avocado!

Limba the 50 year old elephant at Bowmanville Zoo.

A baby giraffe peeks out his head at Bowmanville Zoo. I need to work on depth and focus.

Gonna to practice camera settings in nature.

Over the next couple months I’ll be attending events and learning sessions with an expert from  Canon. I gave them a whole list of things I want to achieve before December rolls around. I’m exited to take you on this journey with me! If you have tips on accessories or tricks that will help me out, please share!

This is only the beginning!

Love, CASIE

#RBsolstice at @cabanapoolbar w/ @redbullTO & @casiestewart

On Friday night before the cottage we ventured up to Cabana Pool Bar to celebrate the solstice with Red Bull.  Thanks to the lovely Becca Lemire for these snaps. I coloured them in Picasa and used makeagif.com to animate them.

Sending you sunshine, heard it might rain again today. 🙂

These Flowers, For You

Currently en route to the Thompson Hotel for a media lunch with Grey Goose (client) for the Cherry Noir. I’m working though so just food and photos, no dranks! This weather is so weird, in wearing a mixed up outfit of cutoff overalls and a poncho with Sperrys.

Tech | Heart on for Social TV and Data Visualization

Tech | Heart on for Social TV and Data Visualization

If you didn’t see this video on social TV from Twitter check it out. Pretty neat data visualization.

I LOVE social TV. Something I’ve been really passionate about since working at a TV station a couple years ago. The magic of Twitter and TV fascinates me. I love real time communication, advertising, and interaction. I hope to work more in that space again one day.

Last year at Banff World Media Festival, social TV was such a hot topic. Here’s my episode on Coral TV where I chat about upcoming trends, these are all relevant one year later!

In other news, Vizify is a wicked way to visualize your social resume. Made this little ditty the other day. Cool eh!

 

Almost the weekend! HUZZAHHHHHHH! WEEEEE.

The event is free but there’s gonna be a HUGE line. I can offer a bunch of you VIP to attend. I’ve got 4 passes for 2 on the VIP line bypass guestlist. All I need you to do is tweet me and I’ll pick winnas tomorrow. Red Bull parties are ALWAYS a blast, I’ve been to a few over the years! This party starts at Cabana Pool Bar on the Polson Pier at 5pm on Friday and goes till late at Sound Academy.
