[Leica] A father's admiration! :-)

[tedgrant at shaw.ca (Ted Grant)]

As most of you know I'm a very proud father of" my"son the photographer, 
Scott Grant." He's in the 2nd week of shooting the "Canada Winter Games" in 
Whitehorse  in the Yukon.

The general day temperature has fluctuated between -45 below and colder with 
wind chill factor. To plain old fashion 40 below zero hour after hour, day 
after day! Not  a happy camper kind of outdoor shooting weather period! :-(

Now think about being in that kind of environment shooting speed skaters, 
biathlon, cross country skiing, snow boarding and whatever other sports 
they're doing outside. Trust me you really don't want to shoot day after day 
these type of assignments when you don't have any choice. Then in the 
evenings shoot boxing, Judo and other sports of that nature. With a couple 
of swimming events thrown in for good measure! :-)

Once again I invite you to look at some of what shooting sports is all 
about. You've seen his summer work, but that's easy, yer not getting your 
fingers and buns frozen off and constantly worried about batteries holding 
up.

2007 Canada Winter Games.

When your done and you have time you might want to take a peek at his main 
site. I'm sure you'll be very pleasantly surprised at the photography of 
this very talented shooter.
