Published and Funeral of Jessica Lloyd

I'm happy to say that I have a photo published in Macleans... I will post a scanned copy when I get the chance.

With the funeral of Jessica Lloyd, comes the end of major coverage until there is a verdict on Col. Williams' charges. Here is a picture I got from the funeral.

Ice Fishing

Today, my buddy and class mate, Nathan and I went out on a trek into the Bay of Quinte to shoot two people who were ice fishing in essentially the middle of the bay. Here are a few snaps from that.


The ice was cracking...terrifying!

New Project in the Works...

So, I've been inspired by a picture I took at a recent bulls game...Here is the photo.

This photo kind of made me think of the intimate moments that happen in hockey. So, I've started a personal project called (obviously) "The Intimacy of Hockey". I'm hoping that before the end of this winter, i will be able to find a hockey team to follow around and take pictures in the dressing room of the players bonding.

I really like this idea because most of the pictures of hockey that get press are of big hits or big goals, but there is much more to the game than that...check back for updates...

Portfolio...

Hey everyone, this is my portfolio that I put together with things shot from September (beginning of the semester) to December. I am fairly proud of this portfolio, but I am also looking for it to get much better.

Olympic Torch Relay? Kinda



Today, I shot the Olympic torch going through Kitchener, Ontario. My initial plan was to shoot it in waterloo as well as kitchener, but that didnt work out.

So i was at the ceremony area in Kitchener, when a few signs caught my eye. A group of around 200 Aboriginal and not so Aboriginal people were protesting against the olympics. I had already shot the flame in Belleville, so i decided, instead of shooting the flame and the cheesy ceremony, I would shoot these protestors. Here are some of the shots I got.

Night Shooting!


Just last night, I decided to try some long exposure, complete night shooting. So I took my camera over to the park across the street...and this is the result--->

The picture is a little blurry because I didnt have a tripod, I just put it in the grass and held it as still as I could.

It was shot at ISO 100, f/5.6, at 10" (seconds)

I'm gonna go back again tonight and use a tripod

Thanks for looking,

Adam
