Thanks to Curtis Moore for posting this.

So I was in The Bay a few days ago shopping for my Moms birthday and noticed the typical ‘Go Canada! Support your Olympic athletes’ clothing. I didn’t really think much of it until my dad said, ‘take a look at this.’

Now I maybe crazy for thinking this… but shouldn’t ’support Canada’ clothes be made in Canada, and not China?

Sorry about the quality on the second photo, the IPhone failed horribly for me.

Waning.. Bad words

And the Canon 7d Virsion

Today I picked up my new gear for the season!!

I’m the new proud owner of the Olympus E-3 and the E-620 w/ PT-E06 Water Housing!

For lenses I’m starting off with:
8mm Fisheye 2.0
11-22mm 2.8-3.5
14-35mm 2.0
35-100mm 2.0
50-200mm 2.8-3.5
(Times lenses by 2 for 35mm sensor equivalent)

SO Excited right now!

Its about 10 C out and windy but I had to try the water housing out so I grabbed a semi-warm body thing (not too sure what it was called) and drove down to the Shale beach in Craigleith. It was freezing so I couldn’t stay in long but I played with the E-620 for a bit before I had to run for the heated car.

It took a few monutes to trust the case. SLR’s and water just seem wrong.

COLD!!!!!

If you have any photo ideas or needs that involve getting a little wet feel free to contact me

Cheers
Richard

I have a love hate relationship with Facebook… Its great for some things, not so great for many more. But, yet again, facebook came though in connecting me with one of the most influential photographers I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

Saul Porto!

Some of you have met him at some of the older Wakestocks, Wasaga and one of the Toronto years. If you didn’t have the chance let me tell you how awesome this guy is. Six or seven years ago, when I was still fresh fish to the event photo world, I met Saul for the 1st time. We talked shop and hung out at the event though out the week. At the time I was using the first generation Canon Rebel and I believe Saul was on the 1 series (canon of coarse). I don’t know what I did right but the man actually lent me his 28-300mm L series lens to use for a few days. Saying ‘just give it back when your done’.  I had just met him two days before and now he was lending a 18 year old kid he didn’t know a $1,500+ lens. I was in heaven as I was only using some Tamron 28-300mm as a zoom.

Years following I would always look forward to seeing Saul again. He brought me along to my first Grand Prix shoot at Mosport International Raceway where I learn a lot about not standing too close to cars moving 150mph… but also had a great time.

Saul is an amazing photographer and if you have the chance check out some of his work, Top News Photo and News Agency

Great hearing from you Saul, keep up the great work.
