Minneapolis:

Chicago. These are edited, except the last one. This is my first time playing around with photo editing. It gave me respect for people that are good at it.

One more of the L

What did you think of Chicago Hulk? I've always thought it was one of the coolest cities in North America.

I loved it! It was way better than I imagined. That city has a very cool feel to it.

Buddy's wedding was this past long weekend, and he was married at the St-George's-in-the-pines church in Banff. The pastor let us up into the bell tower, so i snapped a few. I have many more, but I was using these two for something else (hence the copyright). Just put a sepia tone over them.

The second photo is great, Jayems. Nice work.

Went to the FIS WorldCup Snowboarding Half-Pipe event today at COP. Got some good images, had about 1,000 frames taken... all have 5 dust spots!!! When will I ever learn... probably never. Anyway, these were just browsed on bridge, so I quickly cloned out the dust spots and here they are. I'm using my really good ones for something else, but when or if I can, i'll post them.

Couple more from Sat. Action at COP. Postponed due to wind, but I got some warm-up shots.

I was in Quebec City for the weekend. A few shots from the Plains of Abraham at Sunset

And a few from around town

Jayems,

Did you have a media pass for the snowboading? I tried going on Saturday and couldn't get close at all. Thankfully, my 70-200 L lens made up for it (I'll post some pics shortly) but I would've loved to have been way closer...how did you pull it off?!

I had a pass.

It was weird too, because there were a lot of people that were freelance, and just walked into the media lounge and asked and received. I met about 4 photographers who were there freelancing, and thats all they did.

I think at least 1 wasnt actually affiliated with anyone.. just some guy who wanted to get close

I almost biffed it every time walking up that stupid half-pipe... lol

I have over 1,000 shots.. so im currently in the process of going through all and picking the good ones... I'll post some more too when I can.

Argg I emailed them on their website an email ago regarding a pass and they said they couldn't hand them out to freelancers even though I insisted I've been published provincially/nationally. Meh, I should've tried your approach

Yeah that half pipe runway looked icy. I had a hard time getting a good stance last night!

Ha, No, I actually went the email route myself. But when I was in there getting my accreditation, all the freelancers showed up, well a few did anyway.

MJK · 03-04-2007, 07:13 PM

Oh, and one just for you Fotze:

I call him, The Dude

Cowperson · 03-06-2007, 09:17 AM

From Vegas on Sunday, getting rich on the one cent slots at Paris . . . under a phoney sky.

And a few people shots for fotze . . .

Arguing with The King . . .

Weekend at Bernies below . . . . this guy was sitting outside Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville so I thought he'd been hired for that purpose . . . . his gradually building agitation as I was shooting him indicated he was probably just a tourist.

Monorail Girl!!! The city of Las Vegas wants more tourists to use their monorail and they've hired and uniformed pretty women to roam the streets for that purpose.

More Elvis . . . . for a dead guy, or so they claim, he's pretty busy.

Jayems · 03-06-2007, 03:06 PM

Few more from last weekend's FIS World Cup. Used these for other things, hence the copyright info.
