Bob Woodward in Toronto

Here are a couple photos I recently had the opportunity to shoot from an event in Toronto hosted by Canada 2020. The event featured the Associate Editor of the The Washington Post and two-time Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Bob Woodward and The Globe and Mail's Editor-in-Chief David Walmsley.

This past week has been pretty busy, but in a good way! I got to shoot for the Ottawa Sun which for me was super exciting. I was published in their paper as well! What I shot was a pre-playoff football practice for the Ottawa Invaders the experience was pretty cool. I got to meet the Jim Watson again (Ottawa Mayor) I have more work for the Ottawa Sun coming up so stay tuned for that.

Here is a link to the Online News

I went to see Bon Iver in TO which was the best concert i've ever seen. I didn't take much pics in TO because it was raining most of the time, but what I did shoot was shot in film except for a couple of shots I took on my phone. I'll post the film ones when I develop them soon.

Here are two other pics I took the other day. The one with the face is my buddy who is doing berry picking in BC, pretty jealous of him right now!
