Canadian Track and Field Championships Photo Highlights
The Canadian Track and Field Championships in Edmonton this past weekend were a great experience. From my first lighting media centre evacuation to working along side other great photographers. I have to thank the CBC for putting me in a position to express myself artistically while telling the stories of these great Canadian athletes.
