ellipsis…

i received a call late one Saturday night in October from a odd area code. i picked up and on the other side was Ron MacSpadyen, publisher of Ontario Lacrosse Magazine. it was at least 11pm on the west coast, so he was burning the mid-night oil. he had seen the images i took at the 2009 Mann Cup and wanted to use them in his article on the championship. they ended up publishing 8 of my images. thanks to Steve Kojima, designer of Lax Fuj Clothing, for inviting me to photograph the championships.

the Brampton Excelsiors are the 2009 Mann Cup Champions! Brampton came back from a 7-4 deficit and tied it up with only 15 seconds left, then scored 2 overtime goals to clinch the cup.

the 2009 WLA Mann Cup is going to a game 7. it was a really intense game 6, with Brampton pulling out the ahead in the last 10 seconds of overtime.

had the chance to cover game 3 of the 2009 WLA Mann Cup. to be honest, it was my first lacrosse game, ever, and what a game it was. a couple of last minute goals to tie up the game, and a second overtime to decided the winner. the Brampton Excelsiors come out on top over the home town New Westminster Salmonbellies. series is now sits at 2-1, with game 4 going tonight. it took me most of the first period to get a hold of the game and figure out how best to shoot the action. now that i have the hang of it, i’m definitely going back for more.
