Dregs hails from Halifax and consists of Alex MacAskill and Ryan Dunn both of whom switch between guitar and drums in their live show. They're all about fun and putting on a very energetic live show that gets the people movin'. The have some Atlantic Canada show dates coming up which includes the illustrious Halifax Pop Explosion.

Hans-Georg and Lisa's Wedding I recently just got back from a vacation/work trip to Germany. Specifically, my mother's home town of Hügelsheim which is where a lot of my family resides. In fact, I lived there for three years back in the early 90's, so it was a bit of a homecoming for me as well.

I was there with a unique task ahead of me. Photographing my uncle Hans-Georg and his lovely new wife Lisa's wedding. Playing role of photographer and as family member/guest. Wearing these two hats was a bit difficult because I wanted to mingle and talk to family I haven't seen for quite some time as well as capture the beauty of the day and all the people in it. At the end of the day, I found I was able to find that balance between family member and objective observer.

I've compiled a small collection of images that I find represent the overall feel and tone of the day.

It was a beautiful day.

Here's a pretty neat shot of some Nova Scotia craft beer that I took for The Coast's Hot Summer guide. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! I really missed doing more producty type stuff this. And yes, I got to drink the beer afterwards. It was all delicious.

Here's a link to the article: www.thecoast.ca/halifax/summer-is-beer/Content?oid=4352738

@hfxfl Here's a couple of photos that I took over the weekend on assignment from The Coast of Jon Blanchard of Halifax Footlongs! It was an absolute pleasure to go down to the Seaport Farmers' Market this past Sunday to snag a couple of photos of Jon gracefully slinging dogs to very eager and hungry regulars and newcomers alike. It didn't matter that it was a muggy day because Jon's upbeat and positive attitude (and not to mention the delicious hot-dogs and smokies topped with local sauces and ingredients which you can get right in the market) kind of made you forget all about it. 

You may notice the monster of a hotdog in that last photo, that was mine. Jon made it especially for me by asking me what I like/don't like making it a custom dog just for me. And it was pretty flippin' delicious.

If you're feeling kind of peckish and you're on the waterfront, Halifax Footlongs is a great spot to get your fill! Jon will definitely treat you right and warm your heart with his amazing customer service and not to mention the warm Suprima apple cider he serves up!

Give him some twitlove @hfxfl You can give me some twitlove too if you'd like @lennymphoto

Second blog post of the day because I have been saving these photos for a while until they were being used. I am super duper proud of these. I was given an assignment from The Coast to capture the atmosphere of some local favorite bars/live music venues around Halifax and I'd like to think that I got some pretty cool photos!

These photos were taken at: 

Michael's Bar and Grill

The Lion's Head Tavern

Gus' Pub

The Carleton

Rockbottom Brewpub

The Seahorse Tavern

Bearly's House of blues. (and ribs)

Hope you like em!

I've been a busy boy as of late in the photo department. Here's a little set of photos that I took for The Coast's best of food issue at everyone's favourite Lebanese food joint in downtown Halifax, Mezza. They are the reigning kings of Shawarma in Halifax and rightfully so because they are amazing. I spent a total of two evenings in this little kitchen and I enjoyed every second of it. Here's some photos that I hope you enjoy as much as I do.

I recently had a chance to take a few photos at the new Mid Point Cafe located on Spring Garden Road in Halifax this week for a recent article for The Coast Halifax's Weekly about non-caffeinated hot beverage options.

The lovely barista you see pictured here is Evangeline Sing, a resident barista at the Mid Point Cafe. She was an absolute joy to work with. She made me feel right at home. And I must say, she makes a mean London Fog!

You should check out their great coffee shop. Here's their Facebook page so you can give them a like.

Some of you may have noticed that my blog name has changed. I've just dropped my business name of Hype Photographic and decided to just use my own name as my business. I've just changed my domain name to www.lennymullins.com  I look forward to this change in branding and the new direction I'm taking my business in. Please feel free to visit the new domain and have a look at some of the work I've been producing lately. There will be much more to come.

Thanks for all your support and I hope to work with some of you in the future.

Regards,

Just looking through some old photos on my computer and found these gems that I overlooked like a year and a half ago. I figured I'd post them and see what ya'll think!

Here's a little photo session I did with my dear friend Kaitlyn a little while ago. Not only did she kill the modelling in these images, she also provided MUA services because she is a KILLER MUA and you should hire her for said services.
