The Lobby On York - Winnipeg Food Photographer

I recently shot some food photography for some upcoming additions to The Lobby on York's menu. I understand some of these will be on the menu very soon. I got to try some of the dishes, and they were unreal. By the time we were finished shooting the steak, it was cold, but still one of the tastiest steaks I've ever had. Be sure to check out the restaurant, it's one of the best restaurants in Winnipeg. Website: The Lobby on York.

Here is another blog post with my photographs from The Lobby on York's menu

David Lipnowski Photography: WestJet airplane lands on apartment building! - Winnipeg Free Press Photography

A Westjet airplane lands on apartment building!?!

No not really. But it sure looked like it.

I was in the middle of photographing a cross country ski and snoeshoe workshop, when I saw a WestJet airplane coming in for a landing at Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport. It looked like it would line up with the roofline of an apartment building so, I quickly swung the camera around and quickly shot a couple frames.

This is how the photo ran in the newspaper the next day. It was a little funny that the photo ran right next to an article about a smaller aircraft that had to make an emergency landing!

I was a little disappointed that none of the great skiing photographs ran, as this photo ran pretty big instead at 4 columns.




The caption (I didn't write) that ran with the photo in Mondays A3 newspaper page read:

"A WestJet plane lands atop a Winnipeg apartment building Sunday so the pilot can stop at his suite for a quick bite... NOT! The effect is just an optical illusion created by the plane's angle and altitude in flight, as seen from the Living Prairie Museum."

A fixture in Winnipeg, the Shanghai Restaurant recently closed for good. I was assigned by the National Post to photograph the owner during the last week the restaurant was open. You can read the National Post article here.
