The Young Cats of Canadian Photojournalism: February 2007

Belleville Party

For those attending the gala and looking for a place to stay, we might as well take over a hotel for the night. A few of us are staying at the Clarion Inn and Suites, 211 Pinnacle Street, 613-962-4531, http://www.belleville-clarion.com. $90 for a junior suite. I don't think Pike is flying in, so no one should need a pull-out couch

It is downtown, about 10 mintues from the college and near a bunch of bars. Let the good times roll!

some more recent Cornwall stuff

I'm not sure how to post more then five pictures at a time, so two posts it is!

A portrait of a woman heading to Africa to do some charity work.

Part of a picture package I did of nature photos along the St. Lawrence.

Shane Bernier, a cancer patient who has asked people to send him birthday cards. This was shot on his home on the first day he really started getting the cards, 1600 on that day.

David Suzuki speaking in Cornwall. Not only an interesting speaker, but good for expressions and movement. I like this one because it looks like he's the emperor about to shoot lightning bolts out of his hands.

I headed to the local ski hill and set up some lights for another picture package. It just ran this week and I've been getting lots of great feedback from the community and co-workers on this one.

some recent Cornwall stuff

I thought I would share a few more pictures from the last few months.

I was trying to get some geese, the bridge, and the sunset all in one picture. The geese kept running away but this frame actually worked. It ended up running with a story in January about the animals migrating late in the season.

I shot this picture as part of a package I did about a stained glass studio. Say what you want about the fisheye lens but I love that thing!

I shot this for a story we did about internet bullying. Would this be considered a photo illustration even if there is no real post processing?

A shot of a kid taking a break during a hockey school.

One of a handful of shots I took on the first major snowstorm of the season.

Some pics from a cross country skiing race I shot this weekend. It is cold in the Nation's Capital!
Enjoy, BG

Hey Pyjamas!
