Feb 17, a couple of good friends
got married. Here are some of
the photos. It
was a really nice wedding, an excellent balance of formal and not too
stuffy, but what would you expect from East Coast and West Coast people?

Events
July 28, 2007, Special
Olympics Baseball Tournament
Teams from the area (Perth, Kingston, Renfrew, Ottawa, and others) came
to play in a baseball tournament. The weather didn't cooperate
very well, especially in the morning (very wet!) but the teams played
on anyway. As usual everyone had a great time! Some photos
from the afternoon games can be seen here.
May 2007, Ottawa Special
Olympics Parliament Walk/Run event
May 13, 2007 Parliament Hill was the host for the Special Olympics
Walk/Run 5km event. The day was cool in the morning but warmed up
nicely for the walk/run. This is the second event I've had the
privilege to photograph for the Ottawa Special Olympics and this one
was as enjoyable as the first. Mayor O'Brien and Senator Munson
both participated, with Senator Munson walking the route. The
National Anthem was sung (very well) by Caitlin Mathews and Jacob
Mathews led the group with the Special Olympic Athlete Oath. See
the pics here.
April 2007, Ottawa Special
Olympics Figure Skating show
April 15, 2007 at Minto Skating Arena in Ottawa saw the Ottawa Special
Olympics participants show their skills at figure skating. It was
the first time I have been to an event such as this and it was quite
the event. Everyone had a great time, especially the
athletes. The participants included both kids and adults
performing solo and in groups. Don Jackson made a special
appearance. Click here
to see the
photos from the event.
2006
Ontario Summer Games, August 2006
In August 2006, I had the opportunity to be one of several people
photographing the 2006 Ontario Summer Games. My assignment
was the
Opening Ceremonies and the BMX event. You can see the photos of
the
Opening Ceremonies here,
the BMX event here,
and some of the many volunteers here.
Ottawa
Safety Council, 2006 Shannonville Track day, 4 Sept 2006
Labour Day, Monday Sep 4, 2006, saw another track day sponsored by the Ottawa Safety Council.
These track days are right after the final round of the Amateur races
and the professional marshalls stick around to help with the day.
The marshalls make sure the day is safe and sane. There is an
ambulance for those that decide to end their day in a painful manner,
but it is very infrequently used.
Click here for
photos from the day. These are NOT the photos from Flair photo,
just mine. Clicking on the link shows the full image (3008x2000
pixels, JPG format, totally unprocessed). They are free for the
taking. I would appreciate credit if you use them for anything
other than personal use, however.

Safety Council, 2005 Shannonville Track day, Sept 2005

Council track day.
Again, these are not Flair photo's shots, just mine.
