From July 8 to July 19, 2009, I photographed the Ottawa Bluesfest for The Canadian Press. Over a period of nearly 2 weeks I sent 110 photos on The Canadian Press and Associated Press wire to newspapers, websites, and magazines around the world. Some of these photos can be seen in the Entertainment section of my website.
