This is a calcium plant that Troy, my roommate who is a radio reporter with CKBA Fox News in Athabasca stumbled upon when we were in calling lake.

It was surreal in that it was filthy. Something out of a post-apocalyptic movie.








This is what we thought was a tailing pond. When I took the picture a guy came out and was a little worried about what we were doing but thankfully we had an excuse.

What he told us was that it was a calcium plant. Essentially it was a pond that drilled deep down and that was all dirty salt water that was... i guess distilled or whatever for the elements in it. sure why not.

Sky.

Sweetpea and Me

This is me and my girlfriend Kaitlyn Coholan.
She's a sweetheart.
Here we are in Jasper, up a huge hill.
:)
I put the camera on a rock and used a timer.
The grainy-ness is because of high ISO and it was really dark so I lightened it in Photoshop.
Tip: take the picture right the first time.

More pics and descrips

----------
Here is a tree I saw outside the Nancy Appleby Theatre in Athabasca. Not much too it, the "v" just looks cool.

This is a pole and some wires. The blue is relly intense and the perspective is cool... sorta anyway.















---------
These are some fire trucks I saw at the Grassland Homecoming (be warned with that link LOUD voice over) party last weekend.
You can see the story in the Advocate here, and pics here (I'll update when they go up)

Who's this duesch bag you ask? why he's none other than my co-worker Jeff D'Andrea. And he's not a duesch he's an ok guy lol.
He enjoys beer, sports, and females. Feel free to face creep him.
This is him at theGrassland Homecoming when we were enjoying a beer.

This is some cool sky. not much too it. I was too lazy to fix the off angle.

This is a cool sunflower outside Jeff's house.
















Isn't photography fun?

I really don't expect anyone to ever look at his but if you do, you can buy them! I'll print on and mail it to you in a frame... somehow.

Check this guy out. Pretty much ultimate photography. Artistic stuff though...

What's more is that you can check out the field notes on the individual photos. You'll notice that for some pics, he waited as long as 14 days! what a trooper.

It's good not great. To me, it's photojournalism that rocks since at its best it melds art and journalism to convey a message that is powerful, potent and timely.

I found this, the 2008 National Press Photographers Association's best photojournalist award here. These are the big guys whose papers send out more than I think 115,000 and are dailies. . I wonder how much they get paid, and how.
