Playstation 3 release
I was assigned to cover a midnight Playstation 3 event at the local mall. It was sort of a fluke as only about 10 people showed up.People are waiting anxiously for the clock to pass 12AM. (Photo: Brian Poulsen)(Canon EOS-1D Mark II n, EF 17-40mm f/4L USM @ f/4 1/40sec, ISO1250)
Street Photography
I wrote the following text for a guy I know. He was going to use it on his website along with other street photography tips. Anyway. His little project went down the drain so he encouraged me to post it here instead.To start with, the law in general says you can shoot photos of anyone [...]
Animal Sanctuary
I was assigned to visit the local animal sanctuary to shoot some photos which the newspaper was going to use on a story about a dog that was abandoned. It was taken to the sanctuary but was returned to the previous owner (not the one abandoning the dog). I saw this mixed breed with the [...]
Cancer fundraising
Today was the national cancer fundraising day. In short, volunteers go door to door with a money box asking people to donate money to cancer research.I was assigned to find somebody collecting money for the cause.At age 4 this girl was out raising money along with her mother.

Focus
A table tennis or ping pong tournament if you will, was played at one of the local sports facilities during this past week.The light was absolutely horrible. (yes I complain about the lack of light a lot!).Canon EOS-1D Mark II n, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM @ f/2.8 1/250sec, ISO1600 (Photo: Brian Poulsen).
Still not done
So once again I thought the hockey shooting was done for the year. Tuesday I got an offer to go to Sweden to shoot some junior hockey where three danes are playing, so of course I gladly accepted the invitation. Junior hockey is so intense and these kids are throwing some really great bodychecks and [...]
Hockey was almost over
The local hockey club’s women’s team made it to the championship game so I had one more last hockey outing this season. Here’s a couple of shots from today’s game.Canon EOS-1D Mark II n, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM @ f/2.8 1/500sec, ISO1250 (Photo: Brian Poulsen).Canon EOS-1D Mark II n, EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM @ [...]
Collecting dust
If I really have to find a negative thing about my job, it would be that my Lomo, Holga, Yashica and even my Canon A95 has been doing nothing but collecting dust for six months now.When I shoot as much as I do on a daily basis, I don’t have this “need” or desire to [...]
Soccer just around the corner
The preseason games have begun and the soccer season is less than a month away. Out of nowhere the weather has turned around from blizzard like weather to sun and temperatures around 10 degrees (50 degrees fahrenheit).With a pretty bad hangover I had to shoot some soccer today. The weather made it worth it for [...]
