Celebrating 50 Years

On Saturday I was invited to photograph an event for the Jasper Place Curling Club. 2009 marks the 50th Anniversary of the club and to celebrate the club held a Past Presidents’ Dinner to recognize the contributions of these individuals. Here are a few quick shots from the evenings’ activities.

Photography Sites & Blogs I Followed in 2008

One of the ways I like to keep up with what’s new in the world of photography, gather inspiration, and learn new techniques is to subscribe a number of blogs and websites. I also started using the social communication tool Twitter to follow a variety of photography related individuals and companies. Here are some of my top blogs, sites and people to follow on Twitter from 2008.
