An Evening with the Burly-Q Babies @ The Rock House

Earlier this month I was invited to photograph a burlesque show by the Burly-Q Babies. As always it was a great time; any event where you can have a drink with friends and make good photos is something I can’t pass up. Here’s a few from the December 10 show.

OCAA Rugby - Loyalist Lancers vs. St. Lawrence Vikings @ Loyalist

Had some fun shooting the Lancers rugby teams as they faced off against St. Lawrence during the men’s and women’s games this weekend at Loyalist. This was my first time shooting rugby and I gotta say I really like it; the action is fast and the game is exciting to watch (especially when you have to jump back from the sidelines to avoid becoming part of the play!). During the ladies game it was absolutely freezing outside and overcast, by sunset it had cleared up and the light was great for the men’s game.

The Lancers men celebrate after defeating the St. Lawrence Vikings 22-3.
