The month of July kept me quite busy!

Canada Day was about 15 hours of solid work, starting with a shoot before 9AM at the National War Memorial. Fifteen hours later, after the fireworks ended, I was almost done for the day. But, as I filed my final photos, the real "news was happening outside. Three young men, in what the media dubbed "The Urinaters" relieved themselves on that same Memorial. The story got national play in print first, then on TV and radio (news and talk shows), and was discussed at water coolers and on the street for over a week or two.

Last week, at the airport, I met the Lebanese-Canadian evacuees that had flown home to Canada on the PM's plane. They arrived at 4AM. After he disembarked, one of the evacuees was arrested quietly behind the scenes.

Also last week, I watched some young ball players, many who participated in the (Major) Little League World Series two summer's ago, make their first step towards a return World Series engagement. Now mostly 14-years-old, and playing as Juniors, they are (as of this morning) only two wins away from the Ontario championship, and a trip to Lethbridge, AB, where the best Canadian team will be crowned. The CDN champs go to the Junior WS in Taylor Michigan.

Look for my next post in early Aug. --30--
