One of several beautiful sunsets at Tim Hortons Field, home of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and FC Forge. The Tiger-Cats had their best season in franchise history finishing the regular season at 15-3 and 10-0 at home. Unfortunately they played their worst game of the season in the championship game losing the 107th Grey Cup game in Calgary, Alberta to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 33-12. Oh well, there's always next year. :(

"The Audience" is a sculpture by renowned Canadian artist Michael Snow. Snow created sculptures of spectators to set atop the entrances of the Roger Centre, a stadium for sports and entertainment in downtown Toronto. This grouping of spectators at one of the entrances shows different kinds of fans at a ball game -- from the grumpy bully to the laughing child.

Everyone has Manny Pacquiao fever in the Philippines the day before his championship fight against Floyd Mayweather.
Here is my tribute to March Madness, the college basketball phenomenon in the United States where sports fans all over the country cheer for their favorite teams and follow the 64 team NCAA basketball tournament that determines the national champion.
A raw and intense moment of rugby, where determination meets adversity. Battling through the rain, mud, and relentless defense, this player pushes forward with unwavering focus. The black-and-white edit enhances the drama, capturing the pure essence of resilience, teamwork, and the warrior spirit of the game. No matter the weather, the game must go on. What drives you to keep pushing forward? 🏉🔥 #Unstoppable
Amidst the churned earth and the echoes of distant cheers, two young warriors lock in a battle of will and endurance. The fabric of their jerseys strains, their bodies collide, yet neither yields. Mud stains their legs like war paint, determination fuels their every move. In this fleeting moment of struggle and grace, the heart of rugby beats loud, fierce, and unrelenting.

Tigers on the Big Screen
I was looking for an artistic way to capture the great environment in “The Bunker”, where we often watch sports on our 3 TV setup. I wanted to show the Mizzou Tigers on the big projection screen in the middle and also on the 2 side 42” TVs. The final image is actually a composite of 4 photographs. I didn’t want to take a photograph of an actual TV image because the sports game images are protected and I didn’t want to infringe on that. So the first photograph, which is simulated on each of the 3 TVs, is one that I took at a Mizzou Football game at The Zou in Columbia, Missouri, back in October of 2012. It was taken with my small Sony T100 pocket camera. I copied the image to DVD and displayed it on the big screen with our DVD player and projector. While it was displayed I took the “primary” or base photograph. I wanted to do it this way so I could get realistic reflections on the coffee table. This primary photograph was taken with a tripod mounted Sony A850 at 18mm using ISO 100 at f/22 for 15 seconds. Two Sony HVL-F58AM off camera flashes with ¼ CTO gels were set on either side of the camera at full power and zoom of 24mm. The flashes were set for rear sync and were triggered wirelessly with Pocket Wizards. Photograph 3 and 4 were images of the models, and were taken using the same tripod mounted A850 at 18mm using ISO 100 at f/22 for 1/200 second, and the same 2 flashes. In addition a 3rd flash, also equipped with ¼ CTO gel and Lumiquest III soft box was used as a backlight behind the models to provide lighting that would simulate lighting from the projector screen. The “TV image” and the 2 models were inserted on the primary image using photoshop, along with appropriate shadowing for the 2 models on the coffee table.
Hundreds of neighbors crammed into shaded outdoor projection TV theater to watch their national hero, Manny Pacquaio, fight Floyd Mayweather in a championship boxing match. The set up was placed in the middle of a street where neighbors could catch the match for free, if they could find a spot to see the small TV.

In week 7 we pay tribute to the Olympics. I love the Olympics and will watch as much as time allows. I'm also a very patriotic Canadian.
The hat is a little baby hat that my son wore when he was an infant. In fact I took one of my favourite baby portraits of him in it on this same bed. Eva has also been really maturing so I wanted to do a little test on our bond with her, and see if she minded having her eyes covered for a photo shoot much like the 'do not disturb' one from Kael's set last year. Turns out that she was zen about the process and did not even flinch when the toque went over her eyes and she was told to stay. But, she only held it for about 15 seconds before batting it off with her paw. Turns out that the paw shot was my favourite from the session. Not to bad for an 11 month old pup if you ask me.
Happy Olympics to everyone.
Go Canada!
This is an image that I took many years ago (2007) at Fenway Park before the game had started and I just came across it in my archives. I reworked it only slightly, but I have always liked this moment, especially because the gentleman in the seat, who appears to be leaning forward, looks like he can hardly wait for the baseball game to start.

Culturally, Filipinos are used to having no personal space both at home and in public. Here, a group of men wedges under a tarp to get a glimpse of the fight on TV between Manny Pacquaio and Floyd Mayweather at a makeshift projection TV theater in the middle of a street in Malate, Manila, Philippines.
In the midst of pouring rain and relentless tackles, one thing remains—the unbreakable spirit of the game. This moment captures the raw intensity, determination, and resilience of rugby. The grit on her face, the strength in her grip, and the chaos of the battle highlight why rugby is more than just a sport—it’s a test of will. When the rain falls hardest, the toughest players rise. 🏉🔥 #Unstoppable

"Good afternoon sportsfans, I'm Hup Toothree, and welcome to TD Place Stadium at Landsdowne Park, home of the Canadian Football League's Ottawa Redblacks, where we've caught up with Redblacks' sophomore running sensation Halfbark Clancy (Padded-Pants) Donnelly.
Thank you for taking time from practice to speak with us, Halfbark."
No sweat off my tongue.
"Tongue, indeed. So, with training camp and a pre-season victory against Hamilton out of the way, how are you feeling heading into this Thursday's pre-season game against Montreal?"
I barked my shin this morning.
"Well, you look fit enough now, but word has it you came into
training camp overweight. And with fleas. Is this true?
You can't believe half of what you hear these days.
"Which half?"
Next question.
"Is there any truth to the rumor that besides your runningback
duties this year, you will be handling punt returns?"
That's not working out.
"It's hard to believe that a player who was not tackled even once last year would have a hard time returning punts."
I can't break the habit of bringing the ball right back to the kicker.
"Now Halfbark, your record-breaking rookie season last year in leading Ottawa to it's first Grey Cup in 40 years was phenomenal: 17,284 rushing yards and 439 touchdowns. But your teammates still grumble that your habit of smelling their crotches and then licking their faces upon first seeing them at practice makes them uncomfortable. How do you respond to this?"
By making sure the face matches the crotch. Besides, would they rather I did it AFTER a long sweaty practice?
"I don't believe I'm saying this, but those are two good points. But your teammates are not the end of it: once again you are at odds with Head Coach Rick Campbell. Why is this?"
Well, I was hard to deal with last year, so this year I thought
I could make it up to him by taking out his garbage and walking his dog for the summer--
"--Doesn't he own a two year-old female border collie?"
Hey, she told me she was three! And as for the garbage, maybe HE should eat less MEAT.
"Meat, indeed. So, he's still upset with you?"
I've been in the doghouse ever since.
"Then I'll wrap this up with a final question: What's the game plan from here on in?"
Find homes for five puppies.
"What? Do I hear wedding bells?"
Cowbells. Coach wants to know where I am at all times, now.
"Thanks for this, Halfbark."
Grrroovy, man.

Well, the NFL (American) Football season is upon us....excitement is in the air! As a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan, there are few teams that I dislike more than the NY Giants. In fact, this nice young lady is the only aspect of the Giants that I like at all.
A moment of raw intensity on the rugby field. A determined young player charges forward, evading defenders with grit and determination. Faces tense with focus, bodies in motion—this image captures the passion and energy of youth sports. Shot in black and white to highlight the drama, contrast, and movement of the game. The mud-streaked legs and clenched jaws tell the story of a match fought hard.
Black & White Composition: The absence of color enhances the drama and contrast, emphasizing facial expressions, textures, and movement.
Shallow Depth of Field: The central players are sharply focused, while the background is softly blurred, isolating the action.
Dynamic Framing: The players are arranged in a way that conveys motion, with the main subject slightly off-center to create a sense of movement.
High Contrast & Detail: The interplay of light and shadow brings out textures, from the fabric of the jerseys to the mud on their legs.
Fast Shutter Speed: The crisp details of running players and flying dirt suggest the use of a high shutter speed to freeze motion.
