We take turns shooting on Saturdays since, well, lots of stuff happens on the weekend. It was my turn Oct. 2 and there was tons going on: Joanne speaking at the breastfeeding challenge, men's rugby, kids football, fire hall open house, WHL tailgate party with bands, a pet blessing and then hockey.
I think I shot over 1,000 pics, which is really embarrassing actually because it sounds like I just woke up and put my finger on the shutter all over town.
Here are a few shots that didn't make it into the paper.
Needless to say, this one was from the world breastfeeding challenge. This guy was one of four men there (including me) and was a little too excited to show off his baby's classy T-shirt.
Now the pet blessing is one of the more odd annual events in Chilliwack. Some people take it a little too seriously, but I suppose it's all good Jesus-filled fun.
Here we can see a number of attendees singing a hymn (or whatever they sing in church).
Rugby is always good to shoot as it is outside, full of easily predictable action and I can get close.
And watching a rugby match up close and personal makes it clear these guys are tougher than any hockey or football players.
But not all of them necessarily have the most athletic physiques.
Anglers have made the move from the Fraser River now that the sockeye run is past over to the Vedder/Chilliwack as the coho and . . . whatever else are running. I took a few pics of fish coming out of the water then I saw this guy and his tattoo.
There appears to be at least a couple of letters hidden by his shirt sleeve. So fill in the blank "__ite Pride"
Maybe he's a stoneworker and it says "Granite Pride"?
