Canada Day London

Hi,

Last week was Canada Day, and I spent it in Trafalgar Square with my camera doing some event Photography. It was quite a long day (10am to about 2am), it was very hot and sunny (over 30 degrees and no shade) and my feet were killing me at the end. I probably was carrying too much kit (monopod, 1D, 30D, a flash plus 3 lenses and other bits and bobs).

The event was very well run, with Network Canada supplying the volunteers and Rainmaker event managing. Given the fact that it was pulled together at the last moment, it was spectacular.


Enough talk, now onto some photos:

How to Spot a Canadian

Very funny blog: http://www.howtospotacanadian.ca

If someone told you that they were going to get off of their chesterfield, put on their toque and long johns, hop on their Ski-doo, go about ten clicks to Timmies for a double-double on their way to play some shinny before stopping for a two-four on the way home, you'd probably be very confused.

Sadly, this makes complete sense to me!

Free Canadian nostalga at NFB.ca!

The National Film Board of Canada has a lot of classic film that you can watch online for free at NFB.ca.

Some of my fav's:

Log driver's Waltz

The Big Snit

The Cat Came Back

The Sweater

World Hockey Junior Hockey Championships

I just wanted to say congratulations to team Canada in thier 5-1 win at the world juniors. That makes 5 in a row!

One stat that I like is as follows:

The game was watched in whole or in part by 9.3 million Canadians, or close to 30 per cent of the country's population.

Canada Day in London

Yesterday we celebrated Canada Day. Even here in London. The big event was at Trafalgar Square and I was there taking some pictures.

Happy Canada day!

Just a quick note to say Happy Canada Day!

Here is a sketch I did of the Canada Hockey team logo a couple of years ago:
