Journal reporter Ed Struzik gives a fantastic slide show of his journeys to Canada’s high arctic during the Edmonton Journal Book Fair at the Journal building in downtown Edmonton on December 4, 2010. (Ryan Jackson / Edmonton Journal).
Journal editors made a selection of 40 of the best and most important photos of the last decade that matter to Edmonton and I made three of them which is cool because I’ve only been at the Journal two and a half years. Check out the Gallery.
I spent A TON of time working on this. Check out my Mayerthorpe Interactive Timeline showing all of the events leading up to and following the murder of four RCMP officers by Jim Roszko, on March 3, 2005. The largest killing of RCMP in over 100 years. To build the timeline I used Simile.
It’s cool how much of my time in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science has been useful in being a Photojournalist and Online Edtor at the Journal. I have a few crazy projects on the go right now that I’ll share with you in the coming weeks. Enjoy!
I’ve been nominated for a News Photographers Association of Canada Picture of the Year Award for my Sitting Volleyball Video! The winners will be announced on April 25th in Toronto. Wooooo!
