Queen's University vs McMaster Marauders

On Saturday I was assigned to shoot the semi-final university football game at Richardson Stadium. Queen's was playing the McMaster Marauders, Queen's won the game, and go on to play in the final game this coming Saturday. I will have photos of this game as well, so keep your eyes open. I was assigned to cover the game by the Hamilton Spectator, they wanted photos of McMaster; I found it difficult to get photos of McMaster players accomplishing anything on the field. Queen's was just too good!

Vees, Vees, Vees

Another Voyaguers game brings another post... with more great hockey to come this season!

Kingston OJHL Voyageurs

Working on a current school assignment, I found myself shooting the undefeated, defending OJHL Champions, the Kingston Kimco Voyageurs. The V's beat the Milton Icehawks, 8-1, which makes them 13-0 this season.

Jr. Fronts vs. South Central Coyotes

There is always something going on at the Invista Centre that has photographic potential. I went in to the arena on a Sunday afternoon and found the Kingston Junior Frontenacs playing the South Central Coyotes. Kingston ended up loosing the game, but they gave a good effort.

Sense of Belonging 2009

For the second year documentary class, we had to find five subject with something in common. I found a group of runners who go out every Monday night in Kingston. After their runs they meet back up at the Kingston Brewing Company for pints and nachos. With a strong turn out, the Running Dragons is becoming a popular Monday night event. Here are some photos from the shoot.

Getting Back into the swing of things

After school ended, for most like me, a full time job started. After not posting for quite some time, I decided to post some photos that were shot with some friends at night in Kingston. It was just us playing around with various lighting arrangements, and it turned out to be a lot of fun.

A Day at the Sugar Shack

For my multiple picture story photo assignment, I made my way out to Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area. The old tradition that is the sugar shack has not died in Kingston, Ontario yet. Not only does a visitor to the sugar shack get to take a look at how maple syrup is made in this day and age, they get a glimpse of maple syrup's past. They can also get a pancake or two to enjoy outside the lodge at the sugar shack. Visiting the sugar shack is a tradition that many families from Kingston and the surrounding area do on an annual basis. This is Little Cat Creek's busiest year to date, selling anywhere from 1,000 to 1,600 pancakes a day during the weekend. It has been a good year for the staff and volunteers at the conservation area. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and everyone who was at the sugar shack was great to work with. During my visit, they treated me like a welcome guest.

It's been awhile

Since I haven't posted in a while, I felt the need to start again. For the 48-hour news and writing class assignments, the photojournalism class had to go out and find a senior citizen. We had to photograph them and write a story about them before the deadline on Friday morning. Barb Herrington was my subject. A registered nurse's assistant working at Quinte General Hospital, Herrington works in the cardiology wing.

Katelyn Warner and an abondoned bus

So a few of us found an old Belleville city bus. It was run down, there was no windshield, and it was filled with snow. A very interesting setting for photos, and they turned out nicely.

Red Bull Crashed Ice 2009

Over the weekend I had the pleasure of traveling to old Quebec City. The purpose of the trip was to shoot the Red Bull Crashed Ice event which was being held in the city. If your not sure what the event is, just search Red Bull Crashed Ice on youtube.com, and you will figure it out fairly quickly. I had a great time over the course of the trip. Going up there along with three other classmates, I am happy to say that we all made it back in one piece and with all of our toes and fingers attached (yes it was extremely cold there). It was a great time, and I plan on attending in the future.

Continuing on from the last post, here is some of the work that was not sports that I shot over the break.
