Got to take a photo of Justin Trudeau while working on Chrystia Freeland's Toronto Center Campaign.  He cleans up real nice.

Gettysburg: Stars & Bars

I've just come back from a few days at Gettysburg.  More photos will be forthcoming.

To start, I was surprised at the number of Confederate flags on the battlefield and at the trinkets and trash stores around town.  The almost equal time given to this symbol creates the impression that this was all a civilized discussion that got tragically out of hand.  I wonder how Americans would feel about the Germans putting swastikas all over Omaha beach?  To me its almost the same thing.  This is a symbol of slavery, discrimination and the ruthless exploitation of people for profit.

Just shot this near my house.  Used Photoshop to increase the contrast a little and straighten the lines.  Otherwise, it didn't need anything.  I have noticed lately that my hands shake too much for precise framing and low light. I'll need to start using a tripod.
