Winnipeg Book

One of the teaching tools I'm going to be developing is a book about Winnipeg. Right now, it's not much but a bunch of facts written out in bullet point, but I have some ideas in my head of how I want it to look and what I want it to include. I think I need to do some serious trimming before it ends up being 100 pages.

As part of the book, I'm going around and taking photos of Winnipeg and famous Winnipeg stuff. The good thing about my departure date being so far away is that I have time to get some really good winter shots, which is really important, because, depending on where I am, some of these kids would never have seen the kind of snow that we get in up here. So far, I got some nice Festival related photos, and I took a video of a guy climbing a pillar of ice.

Once the snow melts, I plan on taking photos every weekend. There's a lot of interesting stuff to shot, you just have to look for it.
