2006 was a bad year for jazz in Toronto with the closing of The Montreal Bistro and The Red Guitar. A few new places are giving it a bit of a go but none are decent performance venues. The Central emerged from the ashes of The Red Guitar with a more youth oriented programming.
This was the year I began photographing burlesque. I started not knowing anyone in the burlesque community and ended the year shooting for almost all the major groups in Toronto. I have developed a specific style that communicates the dynamics of the performances without sacrificing image quality and is flattering to the artists.
