With regards to Fowler, it seems I've been in the (real) media a bit because of this blog. It seems a bit ironic to me still, as the site is called *Hawkless* Falconer, that it has led to this sort of thing. The Agassiz-Harrison Observer ran a story on me in the fall - both on my photography and falconry hobbies. You can read that here
Not all my personal information is correct, but it was neat all the same. Partly because of that article and partly because of this blog, CBC Radio One's On the Island based out of Victoria contacted me and asked to go hunting with Fowler. They just aired the first segment this morning, and a few more to come. I will post links to them as I get them.
Anyways. Back to photos..

These are a few shots I took at the Blue Whale Project's open house. The aim is to have a fully articulated blue whale skeleton on display in Vancouver when it is finished. As it is now, it is in several articulated pieces, as the space they have available by the shipyards in Victoria is not large enough to connect them all together. This is the lumbar section, equivalent to a human's lower back. For more information on them, check it out here
I have only sharpened and done a bit of highlights and shadows in these shots other than convert them to B&W, the one a focal black and white, in Picasa 3

This shot I'm quite pleased with as people are not my usual subject and the light was very low. Because it was in concert (I took a series of photos as a favour for Guitar Victoria at a recent concert) I could not use a flash, and managed to figure my camera out for the shots with a tripod. It came out not bad. If you want more information on them, you can head here at www.guitarvictoria.com.
This one is straight from the camera.

And last but not least - I headed out to Agassiz and Maple Ridge for a visit over reading break, just at the start of the Olympics in Vancouver. As I was in a vehicle, I avoided all the venue locations as much as was possible. I caught an early ferry and discovered a fantastic dog park in Delta by the boundary bay airport. Meg had a blast tearing all over the place and jumping in water filled ditches, I had some fun taking pictures of the over abundant eagles. I must have seen over 30 between the Tsawassen ferry terminal and Maple Ridge. Spectacular.
The shot is cropped, sharpened and a little of highlights/shadows in Picasa 3.
