July 2009 Archives

Last week's highlight photo of the week was the spectacular light show in the sky to end out the Canada Day celebrations at the Assiniboine Park, and now today I am going to take a highlight to the music at the event. Unfortunately the only band I got any decent number of shots of was Eagle & Hawk, a local band who are a mix of rock, country, and native music. The music was entertaining, the view worth the trip, and the band members were definitely a joy to watch. In this shot we have lead singer Jay Bodner conducting the crowd in their part of the lyrics of their closing song. For more shots from that day, check out the Canada Day 09 - Celebrating gallery.

Raise the Roof!

A few weeks back was Canada Day here in my great nation, and to Celebrate I ventured out to what has been clearly the hot spot for our national birthday, Assiniboine Park, where a number of musical acts and thousands of Winnipeggers came out to celebrate the day of our countries birth. I got a few photos of the Manitoba band Eagle and Hawk, as well as lots of the fireworks that are a Canada Day tradition, one of which is the photo of the week. Celebrating the Red and White, True and Proud was one of the more spectacular parts of the fireworks show, and one that I was very happy to capture.

Celebrating the Red and White, True and Proud

A few weeks ago, on a lazy, but warm Sunday afternoon, I headed to the Forks, a national historic park in the middle of the city, which has a skate park that was called 'honestly one of the best' by Tony Hawk when he visited after the park opened in 2006. There were a number of people on bikes and skateboards around the park, and I took over 1,200 shots from the day of people enjoying their sport. The shot below is of one of the more accomplished bikers at the park named Adam. For more shots from that day, check out the Skate Park - June 14 gallery.
