Infamous Magazine – October 2007

October’s issue of INFAMOUS with Kanye West on the cover, damn! They’ve done it again. Too bad it’s taken me ’til December to post it up. For those of you who are anxious to get the latest copy, you can usually see it on the streets around the 5th or 6th of every month, or you can visit the INFAMOUS Magazine website around the 10th.



October’s issue was filled with 39 pages of goodness. A review on Cobre by Cassandra Anderton, and highlights from two great events that I sadly couldn’t attend to – BC Fashion Week and the annual Livestock Block Party and lots more.



My coverage of events start on page 5 with some of the best events I’ve seen all year. Italian Kitchen opened and Dr. Peter Centre held their annual not-to-miss Passions event. Something that members of the media wait all year to attend. So, overall, a not to shabby October, and not once did I ever have to dress up for a played out costume party.

Infamous Magazine – September 2007

For September’s issue of INFAMOUS Magazine, with Missy Peregrym from the hit TV series Heroes on the cover, I couldn’t get a hard copy of the magazine – it literally flew off the shelves!

This month, my favourite photo appeared on the second page of my article – the Earls Restaurant hostesses all dressed in white at the Hot Summer Nights event. The photo was shot ‘Malcolm Parry’ or Magpie style and came out phenomenally.

Another great set of shots was with Supermodel Noot Seear who put on the Be Bare Naughty Fashion Show at the Commodore. The staff at the Commodore can be downright unprofessional and difficult to work with which makes it a tough venue to cover but I persevered on the night of the event and spent most of the evening backstage chatting away with the models and getting a ton of exclusive shots with Ms Seear. She’s super sweet too – check out the photos starting HERE.

Infamous Magazine – August 2007

This month the people at INFAMOUS Magazine (Steve Waters and his crack team) really outdid themselves. Rhianna on the cover – HOT!

My favourite photo from this month was Steve Nash. I looked at all the press the following week from the opening event at his sports club and no photo showed him looking directly at the camera — except for mine. I got the money shot!

Infamous Magazine – July 2007

My column in Infamous is evolving! This month they played with the layout a bit, put the notable quotes in and since I’m up to speed with attending all the great events in town, no more notations to each portion.

Oh, and Megan Fox on the cover? DELICIOUS!

My favourite photo from this month has got to be Lady Sovereign. I was buzzing between four venues that Friday night, Boobilicous at Sun-Yat Sen Classical Gardens, Bar None for the NFL Players, Lotus Sound Lounge for their Focus Fridays and Shine where Lady SOV was playing her afterparty. I rotated through all locations at least three times in the night waiting for that special shot and in most cases, I got ‘em. Thanks to the good people at Shine and my 7-year lucky relationship with them for hooking up the Lady Sovereign shot.

Infamous Magazine – June 2007

The June issue of Infamous now has two pages of me! All these events, so little time. So a small article which started at 300 – 400 words is now about 2000 words and growing.

My favourite photo from this month was definitely Lauren Toyota and Prevail from when they hosted Danes Rock out Vancouver event in Gaolers Mews. With Tuborg Beer and U’Luvka Vodka freely flowing for the VIP portion of the event, it was certainly something to remember.

Infamous Magazine – May 2007

In February of this year, I started writing for Infamous Magazine, a new CanWest Mediaworks newspaper. So far, the experience has been great and right in alignment with my work at Urban Mixer. I’m republishing archives of the newspaper for your perusal. Enjoy!

My favourite photo from this month was David Usher. I spent the whole concert at Richards on Richards waiting to get back stage. When David’s tour manager informed me after the show that David wasn’t feeling well and that he’d lost his voice, my heart sank. Lo and behold, David, always a trooper came out and practically tapped me on the shoulder. That one was totally redemption!

Raj Taneja and Henry Rollins



Raj Taneja and Henry Rollins

Originally uploaded by Urban Mixer.




Once in a while in my travels, I bump into an extraordinary being. In this case, I was enjoying a night out restaurant-hopping with the Vancouver Martini Tour folk when I came accross Henry Rollins.

Raj: Hey, would you kindly spit on my head?
Henry: What?
Raj: Well, actually just kidding. That shit’s disgusting but I understand that you’ve had such requests in the past.
Henry: Ya, only once actually. You have a pretty good memory.
Raj: Ya, well, stuff like that usually sticks with me. My name’s Raj, by the way.
Henry: Cool. My name’s Henry.

We took some photos, chatted a bit more. I invited him out for the rest of the night but he mentioned that he was kinda a private guy. That was the end of that. He went home after that, I think.

One of my photographs broadcast in Times Square

A few months ago, GE contacted me requesting use of one of our images for broadcast at Times Square in New York. Well, that event has happened and I recently received an email stating that the picture had been circulated:

From: ge@picture-a-healthy-world.com
To: Urban Mixer

Subject: Congratulations! Your picture was live in Times Square!

Here’s proof of your fifteen minutes of fame!
