Featured on the News Photographers Association of Canada Web Site

I was part of the recent "Wassup!" feature posted on the News Photographers Association of Canada (NPAC) web site. The feature is a round-up of who is up to what in the world of Canadian newspaper photography. Check it out at: www.npac.ca/?p=431

A photo of me was posted from the NPAC conference in Vancouver from April 2008. If I look in love with Ted Grant, it's because I am. He's an absolute photojournalism legend and I thought I was going to die when he took a good half hour to chat with me. I remember the conference very well as it was immediately following my internship at the Calgary Herald. That month was overwhelming, but pretty much one of the most exciting times of my life.
