Photographing Shotgun

http://dougpete.wordpress.com/2010/03/21/photographing-shotgun/

During my trip to Bow Island and back, I got to be shotgun on many occasions. Whilst riding shotgun, you get to look a lot and see a lot and periodically get some inspiration. Coming into Calgary, I was struck by the setting sun and how it contrasted with the Rocky Mountains appearing more ghostly [...]

Unfinished Business

There was one bit of business that I didn’t have the opportunity to complete while at Bow Island. The two days were such a whirlwind of activity that probably the most important personal task didn’t happen. I didn’t get a chance to take a picture of Pinto McBean.

I’m still three provinces over but getting ready to head back home within a couple of hours. As I wait for the coffee to finish, I’ve been reflecting upon the events of the past couple of days from the Teacher2Teacher Conference.
It was a really unique setting for a conference. Around 400 participants descended upon Senator [...]

It’s that time of year when, if you’re a basketball fan or not, you can’t help but me intrigued by the NCAA Men’s Basketball championship.
For some of the players, four years of education, er, basketball boils down to a single game. For constant powerhouse programs, it’s an annual trip to the big tournament. For [...]

After a four hour wait at Calgary Airport (it’s not as bad as it sounds – great mall, restaurant, and science centre), it was time to get on a shuttle for a 3+ hour drive on the Trans-Canada Highway with some interesting travelling companions, I landed in Medicine Hat in preparation for today’s sessions. I [...]
