Recent work

I was recently sent to Scotiabank Place to cover the Ottawa Senators players cleaning out their lockers. Media was not aloud into the locker rooms, so we didn't have much option for "pleasing" photo's but here is my favorite frame from it.

 Daniel Alfredsson talks to media about not returning next year.

I also covered the championship game of the Fred Page Cup.

A Walk in The Park

Went to Gatineau Park today. Initially I wanted to go to Pink Lake but the Parkway is still closed to cars so I ended up just waking along it.

Here are some frames I took today.

Website update!

Finally added new images to my website. A few of them have not been seen before. I plan to do a complete website make over in the near future. I will gut the whole thing and start from scratch.
