Welcome
to www.KevenFedirko.com
Lately I've been writing new tunes (lots to inspire me it seems), shooting
a lot of models, live music and product photography. Busy at the moment
prepping a few more games (revamping my Arkanoid Revenge
of Doh cocktail, detailing an Asteroids Deluxe, and a Targ cocktail right
now) and a couple new titles on the horizon, added a page of Marquee's -
some thumbnails too. Galleries are listed below in a blog-esque format.
Thumbnails in time will all go to the gallery in question - for sessions
that are not yet posted, only a thumbnail will exist - email if you're
interested in seeing any shoots not yet online, or arrange a meeting to
view material on a large display. Note that lots of images can be seen
down at the Guitar
Connection spinning on an iMac during regular shop hours (often images
that might/will not ever appear online) - typically new images added occasionally
when jaunting across town - setup another iMac at The Distillery (June 30, 2010), and another Mac will be placed in Cats Eye Vintage soon. Please pause the slide-show when
not actively viewing it to save my server bandwidth - Thanks in advance!

my eyes, and I spent a few moments talking with one of my favorite
people - Ashley, while she was getting a color ink portrait done,
but I had to photograph her hair, as I knew it would probably
render out nicely in black and white, but color correcting skin
tones with the dark red room was pretty tricky ... anyhow, hope

Shot
May 15th., 2010 - after SNFU left the stage, I was seeing who else I knew in

Sugar/Grady), but was not positive - have not seen him in person since very early
on in his career at a cool little club in Montreal back in the early 90s, so
I asked him, and then had a little chat - very nice and personable dude. I got
some fan portraits in the available light - v.cool :: Philly, Gordie Johnson

in the same frame :: this restoration is pretty awesome, the screen, is easily
the best looking vector display I think I've seen, he had to replace the original
board with a board that has harder ROMs though, so it starts off at a difficulty
probably about 3 to 4 screens in, compared to my cocktail version(s) I'd say
:: The painted backdrop and back lit black light really make the upright version
pretty spectacular :: facebook gallery posted May 14th., 2010
