Team Brick

Yesterday I went to West Edmonton Mall to shoot a presser at the Ice Palace for the Brick's annual super novice hockey tournament. These are a couple of the shots I ended up with.

During the shooting, I had some really frustrating things happen. First, both my batteries started dying. OK, I can handle that. But then my 1D stopped working; it just froze. The camera was still on, but it wouldn't autofocus, and I couldn't change the shutter speed or aperture.

After I charged the batteries, the problem seemed to go away.

Yeesh.

Farmer's Market

I found this while I was wandering around the Farmer's Market on Whyte Ave on Saturday.
It was the 25th anniversary of the farmer's market there, and they had solstice hours... meaning they were actually open when I was awake for once!

Train vs. Car

A totalled car site by a train track just off of 97 St. and 60 Ave in Edmonton on June 10, 2008. Apparently the car was hit by a train at the track.

Mural Painting

Last week I covered the night time painting of a mural dedicated to the late Ed Carson, a special needs teacher and social activist who died earlier this month at the age of 49. The mural was projected onto the upper wall of St. Angela's Elementary school on the north side of Edmonton, and a group of artists painted what was projected onto the wall.

Rollover on Ellerslie and 34th

An EMS member inspects a flipped car on 34 St. and Ellerslie Rd. as the STARS ambulance helicopter prepares to airlift the injured driver to hospital. A resident said he heard the accident around 11:30 am on June 3rd.
