Chris Jordan and "Midway: Message from the Gyre"
This opened my eyes! It's something I came across on FStoppers and wish to pass on as it's a major issue and one that I have never heard about until now. More than likely, you haven't either. It's baby albatross dying on Midway Island (or Midway Atoll and is located in the Northwest Hawaiian Islands) because adult albatross are feeding their young plastic debris from The Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Please check out, and pass along, the works of Seattle photographer Chris Jordan in this powerful youtube video.
The photographs from the project can be found here on Chris Jordon's site.
And really, we should all check out The Great Pacific Garbage Patch on Wiki. I had no idea...Thank you, Chris.

Beau Photo Fusion 2011
The best $10 I have spent in a long time was today when I attended the trade show, Fusion 2011. It was put on by my favorite Vancouver camera outfitter, Beau Photo. I could have spent a bomb at the Cinevate booth. They have some sexy gear! I was impressed that most of their gear is made in Canada, too. I also ran into some old friends from Beau Photo and other shooters, like friend and mentor Phil Hersee. I met North Vancouver photographer Melissa Welsh who was running the Image Quest booth and did a great job selling me on the next weekend they are putting on! I'll be attending now. Dates are March 20th to 22nd in Richmond. Further info can be found on their site, http://www.imagequestbc.com
I was impressed by the work of Kevin Shahinian of Pacific Pictures Studios of Huntington Beach, CA. He is a great speaker, too.
But what I really wanted...was a RadioPopper JrX System! I anticipated coming home with this as I have been following RadioPopper since they birthed the idea on Strobist and started sharing their dream on the blog. It brings a smile to my face seeing the success of these handy tools and I'm sure looking forward to going wireless ttl with RadioPopper. Hopefully Beau Photo has them in within the month as I prefer to shop locally when I can.
Keep your head up and attend next year. With the convergence of stills to video, I can see this annual event growing quickly! Whether you use it for stills or video, I suggest the Fusion event to everyone.

In Memory of The 100 Whistler Sled Dogs
I'm beyond words. The news of the recent slaughtered 100 sled dogs in Whistler, BC deeply saddens and disgusts me. I photographed The Bootleg Sled Dog Races and and post them here in their memory.

Vivian Maier Street Photographer
Vivian Maier. I wish to do my bit to make sure the world knows this name. Vivian Maier, a French born photographer who past away in April of 2009, was a street photographer and nanny. She shot photos of mostly Chicago from the 50's to 70's. However, Her work was unknown up until 2009 when a young real estate agent named John Maloof went to an estate sale and bought a box with 30,000 negatives of her work. Maloof announced on Flickr of his find and pointed us to the blog he started on Maier's behalf. I've been following Maloof's blog since he first posted his find on Flickr in the discussion group HCSP (Hardcore Street Photography). It has been an amazing Flickr thread to witness and follow.
After being impressed with Maier's work, Maloof went hunting and purchased more boxes of negatives and brought the collection of Maier photos up to near 100,000 images. If you read through the Flickr thread, you'll witness how the efforts of Maloof's has now grown into a Kickstart documentary that is in the making and an art show at The Chicago Cultural Center. I must say, full credit goes to John Maloof for all his hard work and bringing Vivian Maier, perhaps one of the best discoveries in street photography, to our attention. His efforts and her art have recently made the news and a segment on Chicago Tonight can be viewed here.
A great story. Thanks, John!
