It was my first time ever going to the Red River Ex in Winnipeg this year. It was quite tame and tolerable compared to the Calgary Stampede; the fair I grew up going to (which just started yesterday in Cowtown). We had a blast braving the Mega Drop; a 140 ft straight drop to the ground. I'm glad I was able to convey the fun in a few shots.
I went to Grand Beach on Lake Winnipeg for the first time last week with my fellow photog colleagues. Despite being eating alive by mosquitoes it was a very successful photo journey!
I had the opportunity to accompany Elaine Halpert [photography] to shoot the dress rehearsal for Momentum Performance Troupe's - Masquerade. Here are a few of my favorite shots.
