September 2010




I don’t think I’ve actually bothered to do an introduction post, so what the hell. I think it’s time to start.

My name is Robin LeBlanc.  I’m 25 and live in Toronto, Canada.  At the moment I’m a photographer and seem to be doing fairly well with it. You might have seen my work in a couple of magazines, the Jo HIkk album “The Game” or most likely, just somewhere on the internets.

When I was young I wanted to be an actress and later on I wanted to be a filmmaker. I was educated in the Way Of Film by both my parents and film school, the latter of which kind of crushed my passion for film. I’d like to think that all those movies and instruction taught me to look at things that way I do now, which of course helps in my photography.

I’m a dork. Or a geek. Or a nerd. Or whatever the hell it’s called nowadays. I play Dungeons & Dragons, watch Star Trek and obsess over The Ghostbusters.

My love of music is unmatched. Raised in a Music Business Family (my father is a respected music journalist and my mother a publicist who has had some very interesting acts) I grew up listening to and learning about a wide range of music and have since developed tastes that I like to think are a bit diverse.

I’m human in the sense that I have problems, get depressed, make sometimes rather obvious pleas for attention and/or validation and fuck up from time to time. I have low self-esteem, but admittedly not as low as it was a year ago and certainly not as low as several years ago.

I also completely fucking love my life and think it can only get better.

So that’s me. And you are?



Here It Comes…, originally uploaded by robinleblanc.

Hey folks,

Just wanted to let you know that I finally cracked and got myself a Facebook page. For those that like my photography and would like updates on new stuff, it will most likely happen on the fan page that I just set up while a web site is being created.

It’s not much now, as it just started, but the link to the fan page is HERE

And of course, my photography can be found HERE

Initial thoughts on my facebook?  Well, it’s a damn sight better than my old account, which contained about 80% of people I honestly don’t deal with anymore (a good portion of which also said nothing interesting).  I like the mix of friends I see in person as well as the network of artists, tech people, journalists and other creatives on here.  The posts on the home page are FAR more interesting now, which is both good and bad, since I can see myself becoming addicted to reading on here.

But who knows?  Maybe I’ll just get bored and become a non-entity.  Either way I’ll have to update the fan page.  But we’ll see, we’ll see…

I loved experimenting with fire over the weekend. Don’t worry folks, it was all contained in a BBQ…thing.

As I put my camera away the man in white looked really angry (and frankly, really high) and screamed “DID YOU TAKE MY FUCKIN’ PHOTO?” to which I put my best innocent face on, saying “gosh, no. I was just taking a picture of the sign. I grew up here and wanted the memory”. He nodded and let me pass.

Picture I took at the Toronto FanExpo, which was fun but exhausting.
