Night scene shooting in Calgary

Last night me and a few of my friends tried our hands in night photography. Was it ever fun! The 4 of us even got Calgary police interested in what we're doing when they came over to chat. :)) I'm sure the girls with cameras on tripods aimed at downtown looked really suspicious at 7 o'clock at night. They were quite nice though wishing us happy shooting and took off. :)

Here're some of the results of our outing:




The Bow is glowing at night. I think they can illuminate the whole city! :)


A closer look. I am actually so excited for the Bow to be built so I can have a portrait session there with someone. :) Anybody willing to do that? :)))

Centre Street Bridge, Telus and the Bow:




Da GANG! :))) I mean seriously, how scary are we?? :))


My kid is sick today, and no it's not H1N1 it's just a regular cold, just a bad one. :( I got a bit worried at first but noticed no troubles breathing, etc. I was up all night as he was tossing and turning, caughing and sighing. My poor baby! He got a lot of sleep today and though he still hasn't eaten (and it's now over 5 pm) he's feeling a bit better. My heart just melted when he came over for a hug when I stepped away from his bed for a few minutes. I love him so much and hope he'll be his old self tomorrow - active and playful because it's so weird to see him so inert.

Then I read this article in the Calgary Herald and was shocked to read that the crash happened at 8:15 am literally a block away from our house - that's exactly when my Mom and Tim are on that intersection on their way to school in the morning which they skipped today because Tim was sick. Talk about Fate! I won't be discussing whose fault it was that the bus crashed, I'm just hoping all the kids are fine and safe.
