10/10 and very enjoyable. Personally, I like Albertan cities.

I dig the Heineken shot and the tunnel shot too, well done.

That's one lame looking pillow fight, someone should've shown up with a couple of bricks in their pillow( make it more interesting) Why is every city in north American staging the same boring events (pillow fights, zombie march ,gay pride parade.....) can anyone come up with something orignal anymore? oh I almost forgot ... nice shots, the B&W are killers really silky smooth looking

The new Art Gallery of Alberta is a Stout, Randall Stout that is... a Gehry student if you will.

Hey thanks very much all!

mr.John, the pillow fight was not well attended, but it was a blast. All the participants and photogs there had big shit-eating grins because it was so much fun. And the zombies (this applies to you as well shofear) are also awesome. These people spend hours doing some incredible makeup just to make some random strangers days a bit more surreal. Nothing wrong with that...kinda sad and lame that you two don't get it. Even if it isn't your cup of tea I see no reason to shit on it. Are you aware they collect donations for the food bank at their zombie walks? Yeah...fukkin lame.

And a pride parade...boring? Really?

Sounds like you are beyond jaded. Maybe you need to spend a year or two in some shithole one horse to recalibrate your perspective.

I'll bite, if these three things are boring then what exactly do you find exciting?

Well since you asked,how about a good old fashion riot.... with rocks, bottles, tear gas flying all around,no fluffy pillows in this mess







remember I'm not criticising your photos which are excellent, I just hate the fact that people in every north American city try to parrot each other(thanks to facebook) and don't get me started on flash mobs
