The ghost town at the end of the earth
This old mining outpost, called Pyramid and abandoned in 1998, is on the Arctic Ocean island of Spitsbergen. An anomaly, it is a deserted Soviet town that is in fact in Norway, just 1300 km from the North Pole. And no, it is not in Siberia, but we liked the Arctic pictures and ice-scapes which highlight a spirit of conquering the cold which is a Siberian quality; indeed among the people who came to work here were many from Siberia.

The young woman lay stiff on the porch in the piercing cold of a subzero morning. Her bare hands were pale white and swollen to three times their normal size, skin split from palm to finger. She was breathing. She was shaking. She was not conscious when a passer-by spotted her and came to her aid.

Lions, Eagles and Snow: The Hardest, Most Fun NFL Game I've Ever Shot
On Sunday I covered what was easily the hardest football game I’ve ever been asked to shoot. In turn it was the most fun I’ve ever had on an assignment. The forecast for Sunday called for a “dusting” of snow. About an inch was supposed to fall, starting right around 1pm, the same time as kickoff. It sounded perfect: I’ve always wanted to shoot a game in the snow and we’d get just enough to add some flare to the photos.

Follow the Wind
Being as though this is the Christmas holiday today for many of us, I decided something cool and wintery was in order. This is part of a new collection of images from the Canadian Rockies. To capture the streaking/blowing snow in such a radial pattern I used many attempts in the high winds with a wide angle lens. The ice is translucent with naturally dark background, revealing the 'pancake' ice bubble patterns formed under the surface.

Boiling water & water gun at -41 degrees celcuis
Woke up to a balmy -41C this morning in South Porcupine, ON. Thought I'd share what happens when you mix boiling water and a water gun and take it outside for a few shots.
