This morning I had the pleasure of photographing a very special event hosted by the Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce, the Thunder Bay Community Economic Development Commission and Ambassadors Northwest. The Honourable Greg Rickford, Canada's Minister of Natural Resources and Minister for the Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario spoke about the Government's actions to create one of the world's most favourable investment climates by lowering taxes and opening new markets through free trade agreements.

Joel Plaskett + The Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra
This past Saturday the Community Auditorium welcomed Joel Plaskett to the stage. He wasn't alone, as the entire Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra joined him. Lucky for me, I was there to photograph it once again for The Walleye. Going in I heard of Joel Plaskett, and even some of his songs. It was a totally different experience hearing him live in concert, especially when backed by an entire orchestra.

This time around it was Hyde Park school's turn.

Unifor Rally - Thunder Bay
When I was asked to cover the Unifor Rally Event here in Thunder Bay this past Friday I admittedly didn't know too much about it. It was a last minute request so I learned most of what it was about at the rally itself. Going in I knew it was for a good cause but after the event I learned just how important it is to get the word out.

Dirty Girls Mud Run - 2014
The second annual Dirty Girls Mud Run took place this past weekend and I was lucky enough to be a part of it. This was my first time and it was such a blast. Of course, since I'm a guy, I didn't run the course, but instead I photographed my girlfriend's team - The Sweaty Coconuts.
It was also their first time running the race and what better way to remember such an accomplishment then to document the race through photos. That's where I came in.
