A couple of weeks ago I posted photos of the first of Rob’s nephews to get married in Campbell River, BC.  Each of the guys were best man to the other so Michael had to quickly recover from his own wedding to be part of Matt and Amy-Lynn’s two days later.  When I asked them why they decided to have their weddings the same weekend I learned it was due to their elderly grand parents who made the trip out from Saskatchewan and...

On August 14-15th, 2010 I had the pleasure of attending and photographing Edmonton’s first Latin Festival in Churchill Square.  The organizer Daiana Moy Sanchez put a call out on Facebook looking for volunteers to help out and I offered my services to her.  A few years back I took salsa dance classes from her and her partner Usukuma Ekuere (Salsaddiction), and haven’t been dancing in ages so I jumped at the chance to be part...

The music gets you moving your feet and you can’t help but dance along with the infectious rhythms, especially the steel bands. The parade ended at Churchill Square where the festivities continued and one could partake in Caribbean food, which we did, and watch dancers...

On July 18, 2009 Darlene participated in Scott Kelby’s 2nd annual World Wide Photo Walk. She joined the Edmonton walk #2 led by Jason Bouwmeester. About 35 photographers (amateurs, hobbyists and pros) met at the Shaw conference center and embarked on a 2 hour walk through the inner city area, ending finally at Churchill Square. Many different angles were taken of the same subjects along the way and it was interesting to compare...
