"Le Grand Rassemblement", Marcel Gagnon, Sainte-Flavie, Quebec

Just got the proofs for my next RoadRUNNER story, "Quebec - Postcards from the Province." This photo - taken with the Pentax K-5 paired with the DA 10-17 Fisheye Zoom - was chosen for the lead photo - a two page spread!

Looking at the other photos selected, it looks like many of the ones selected were taken with the K-01, the much maligned mirrorless camera from Pentax. Oh well, I guess I shouldn't have submitted them (not)!

If you're interested in motorcycles or Pentax, the next issue of RoadRUNNER Magazine should show up at your local Barnes & Noble in the next several weeks.

Manic 5 Dam, Quebec

The Manic 5 dam is the world's largest multiple arch buttress dam. I've been to Hoover Dam and that was big, but there's a different feeling altogether here as you stand at the base and look up at this mountain of concrete.

Just one of ~2,100 photos from my recent RoadRUNNER Magazine trip to Quebec. Over the next several months I need to cull this down to just fifteen photos and 2,200 words. Let the editing, writing, and post-processing begin!
