Two more days passed of the Bantam AAA Western Canadian Championship in Airdrie, Alberta. My body is all very sore and I'm for sure need more sleep! I also think that I'm getting sick, probably from being in the cold for so long. Sorry if I didn't reply to your emails, I hope to catch up tomorrow evening after its all over.

First day of the Bantam AAA Western Canadian Championship in Airdrie, Alberta.

Three days straight I spent away photographing a Ringette Provincials. Even at this age, 11-12 year old, this game is very fast! I'm not a big fan of hockey and ringette tournaments, I love photographing them but its just way too cold for my liking. Spending 10 or more hours a day at the ice level is just not so good on my body. Tracy as always did an awesome job processing all of the images and doing all the sales.

Second and the last day of the "Best of the West Women's Volleyball Championship 2008". For this tournament I was hired by the Dinos Women's Volleyball Club. I enjoyed the tournament and got lots of good photographs. I am already done processing all of my photographs and now I can enjoy a movie or two :)

Well the tournament is over, in the last couple of days I photographed many volleyball games and it was fun. I got some great images and I'm sure girls will like them.

This evening I photographed some college volleyball, Mount Royal Cougars played against SAIT Trojans. As always games involving SAIT are very popular with photographers, because SAIT has a pretty nice journalistic program and many students come to the games to photograph some sports. I personally counted seventeen photographers at one point, it was pretty crazy.

It was a pretty busy weekend for me. Today I had an opportunity to photograph Gloria Vargas in my photo studio. She is an opera singer and she needed a headshot done. She is a very nice woman and it was a pleasure to meet with her and her family.
After the photo shoot I had to run and have a late evening meeting with a very nice couple in Calgary, whose wedding I will be photographing this summer.

This Friday and Saturday Tracy and I were very busy doing a 2008 Bowness Trojans Classic basketball tournament. This is the second year we have done this tournament. It was not the most profitable tournament but I think I ended up with some great shots and I'm sure the kids will love them. The fans at the Bowness high school are great, they are really into the games and were probably the loudest fans I have seen so far. This got me more excited about the games and made me want to take better photos :)
I put together a small slideshow with some photographs from this tournament in my slideshow section, you can take a look by clicking here. Please feel free to contact me if you didn't have a chance to purchase any photographs.

Sorry that I didn't post anything for a while. I photographed another hockey tournament this weekend and I was very busy. Now I'm not really doing anything interesting and just processing images from the tournament. With all my actions and nice processes in place, its still taking a very long time. On average I was taking close to 400 images a game so I ended up with a lot of images to process. I didn't finish it all yet but I thought I would post a couple of photos from the tournament.
