I think I had written an extended goofy caption, but here is the caption that ran with it: "Iowa Chops Drew Miller (right) gets steered into the boards by Manitoba Moose Nolan Baumgartner during first-period action at the MTS Centre Friday night."

Beer me
Beer me! This photo ran in the Winnipeg Free Press in B&W, I think it lost its hilarity that way. Here it is in colour.

Prime Minister's visit to Winnipeg
I was happy to finally photograph the Prime Minister. I have been asked to photograph past visits to Winnipeg, but scheduling conflicts didn't allow me to take the assignments until Friday, when I photographed Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper on two occasions on his visit to Winnipeg. I was on assignment from the Canadian Press.
I packed my gear for a typical day of shooting journalism type work with: 2 bodies, 300 f/2.8, 70-200 f/2.8 VR, 18-50 f/2.8, and 50 f/1.4, laptop. I used everything but the 50 f/1.4 which stayed in the bag with the backup body.
The first stop was at the Forks where Harper broke ground and spoke at the future site of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, and the second stop was at a business round table meeting at the Delta hotel. Harper spoke for ~5 mins at the forks and broke ground with other dignitaries. Interesting things to note was that this event was held in a tent, and it was a very nice surprise when I got inside and it was very warm. Only surprising because outside it was close to -30, and with the windchill it was -40 C. There were so many members of the media in the little area set up for us that they had to break ground twice because there wasn't enough room for everyone to capture the ground breaking, so they staged it twice. On the later roundtable event in the afternoon the media were given about 15 seconds to photograph, all I heard Harper say something along the lines of "I'm sorry for being late, but i'm happy to be here", before being ushered out of the tiny room (to give you an idea of how small the room really was, I couldn't fit the three tables in the frame from a straight on angle at 18mm).
My photographs appeared in: macleans.ca, The News; New Glasgow, Moose Jaw Times Herald, Prince George Citizen, Packet & Times (Orillia), Calgary Sun, Winnipeg Sun, Ottawa Sun, Toronto Sun, Canada East, The Chronicle Herald, jminforme.ca, The North Bay Nugget, Truro Daily News, The Amherst Daily News, Whistler Question)
Here are a few webclippings and links I've found that show a few of the photographs that i've filed:

Max Poulin says goodbye to the Goldeyes
Winnipeg Goldeyes fan favourite Max Poulin (#6) will not be back for the 2009 season as the fish had to sacrifice Poulin for shortstop Wes Long from the Frontier League's Windy City Thunderbolts.

Luc Bourdon
This photo ran a little while ago fairly small on the cover of the Winnipeg Free Press, and another vertical image ran with the article regarding the tribute to a young hockey player, Luc Bourdon, that died in a motorcycle accident in Lamèque, New Brunswick on May 29, 2008. I believe that both the Vancouver Canucks as well as the Manitoba Moose will be wearing tributes on their helmets(Canucks), and patches on their jerseys (Moose). Due to space issues, this photo didn't get to run as large as some would have liked, so I'll put it up larger here.

The Manitoba Moose were wearing Luc Bourdon's #4 jersey prior to the start of their game versus the Hamilton Bulldogs, in memory of the Moose player that died this spring near his hometown in New Brunswick.

the Macbeth card
I just found these as I was cleaning up the computer, so I put together a collage of all of the different ways I held the Macbeth card while assisting Ian McCausland's (www.ian.ca) Nygard shoot at TenSpa. These were taken during the hours of 8pm through 2am on one very windy night.
The video that I shot, and Ian edited from behind the scenes of that shoot: http://blip.tv/file/1021770
I've always wanted a montage, and even Rocky had a montage: http://animoto.com/play/a5alHhg2IEd9KXh6tuBfVg
