Trip to Batawa took about 3 hours. Located between Ottawa and Toronto this town was founded by Thomas J. Bata during the 1930s, it is also a site of old Bata shoe factory which began operation in 1940. (Wikipedia) This small town is going through a transformation process with the help of Carleton students and faculties as well as Mrs. Bata herself. Me being the guy with most loose or flexible schedule I got to go with folks from Carleton DUC to photograph and videograph whatever it is that they are doing there.

Here is Globe and Mail article on Batawa (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/the-gutsy-plan-to-bring-batawa-back-to-life/article1194178/)

It was hectic running around trying to get photos and video plus carrying loads of equipment around with me all the time. Including a tripod with videohead on it..

Here are the photos. (I don’t think I’ll be uploading the video but once Carleton has it up I’ll post up a link to that)

Be sure to check out photos by Fred Lum at Globe and Mail website.

Exotic pets!

For awhile I kept hearing about this bizarre incidents where people in my apartments find snake in their home then I found out there’s a snake breeder in my building. Sounds like a cool photo opportunity.. when I saw superintendent I asked about the breeder and got an introduction.

Michael Ranney, Carleton biology student and I guess I can call him reptile enthusiast. He had four snakes when me and Sarah when up for a photoshoot but he told us he used to have alot more. I got to hold the snake for a bit but I’m still not all that comfortable with these guys yet.

Here are my photos and check out Sarah’s as well

Moonbuggy!

15Mar09

Shot this for Carleton NOW

Engineering students from Carleton built this moonbuggy for their project and I hear there is also a competition between universities racing these things. Quick google search to get better idea before the shoot led me to the famous moon landing photo and photos of moonbuggy built by various universities. It really look like ‘quadcycle’.. if there is a such thing. I have total 3 different variations of the photo and essentially they all show same thing.. I just can’t decide which one I like the best. I’ll just post up two out of three..

CIS COMING UP! soon.. after I finish some essays
