A few photos from the 2011 Kinsmen Football Jamboree
Mark taking the field for his first snap. You can tell from the coaches faces who are standing behind them, they aren’t overly concerned with what he will be doing on that play. They are a power running team. Mark has a pretty good game blocking. Early in the day his team’s starting quarterback broke [...]
WWII: The Campaign in North Africa
Take a look at these incredible photos from North Africa in World War II. They are part of The Atlantic’s InFocus blog’s retrospective on WWII. I really wish one of the media outlets in Saskatchewan (Leader-Post/The StarPhoenix or CBC) would so something similar with their photo archives of Saskatoon events. It would take more of [...]
Inside North Korea
Alan Taylor of The Atlantic’s InFocus has posted 37 photos of North Korea by David Guttenfelder. He was granted unprecedented access to parts of North Korea as part of the AP’s efforts to expand coverage of the isolated communist nation. I now know where Saskatoon got their inspiration for their downtown zoning bylaws.
Focus! Focus!
I loved this blurry photo from yesterday’s StarPhoenix. The autofocus on the camera focused on Cameco CEO’s Jerry Grandey’s suit (nice suit!) and not his face. I am not sure if this was the best photo of the bunch, a commentary on how great the suit was, or if the editor’s glasses were stolen but [...]
Allen Lambert Galleria at Brookfield Place
Allen Lambert Galleria at Brookfield Place, a photo by Jordon on Flickr. The Allen Lambert Galleria, sometimes described as the “crystal cathedral of commerce”, is an atrium designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava which connects Bay Street with Heritage Square. The six storey high pedestrian thoroughfare is structured by eight freestanding supports on each side [...]
the gallery
Today I have been busy putting together an art gallery for the Salvation Army Community Services. In the next couple of weeks the plan is to have a public gallery in the dining room that will consist of prints, paintings, and photos from people in our community. The dining room is used by about 300 [...]
Building the University of Saskatchewan
I have mentioned this site several times to people lately and I thought I would post it here. Since I have called for Saskatoon agencies to release their archives, I thought I would give some credit to the University of Saskatchewan has done a fantastic job of putting some of their historical archives online especially [...]
Cracking Down on Croparazzi
You know, because the economy, wars in Afghanistan and Iraq weren’t important enough, a bill introduced by State Senator Jim Norman of Florida would make it a felony to take a picture of a farm without the owner’s permission: A person who photographs, video records or otherwise produces images or pictorial records, digital or otherwise, [...]
How photojournalists cover Capitol Hill
I found it interesting that there is almost double the amount of photographers on the Hill now as there was a decade ago. You would think in a day of journalism cutbacks, photo-ops could be outsourced to the wire services. It would be interested to see who are the agencies on the Hill that have [...]
