A creative outlet for the reporters behind the Battlefords News-Optimist and Regional Optimist newspapers. I run Friday's Technology Blog. Click on the link below to go to the website where Becky, Jayne, John, Trent and Danica post daily from Monday to Saturday along with me.
Sports Shooter
Sports Shooter.com is an excellent source for sports photographers to discuss new equipment, photography techniques, review and critique each other and in general meet up and talk shop. I recently became a member thanks to Liam Richards @PhotoLiam. Also a photographer to follow who does excellent work in Saskatoon, SK.
Brian Zinchuk Publishing
Originally working for and with Brian, he is always considered as a mentor, and if Josh can't figure out a problem with anything photo related, his first guy to ask is Brian. He is also the editor for Pipeline News, a monthly oil patch publication which is distributed across Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Brian placed first in the Saskatchewan Weekly Newspapers Association Photographer of the Year contest in 2006 and 2007. You can reach him at his site, or view Pipeline News' site, both found below.

What The Duck - W.T. Duck
Aaron Johnson, over the years, has provided us with clever humour and satire, as seen through the eyes of a struggling photographer. He continues to put out quality comic strips every morning, and has recently been syndicated across North America and around the world. You can read the strip and purchase many products related to the strip at his website.
Where do I buy my gear?
I get asked every once-and-a-while where I buy my gear. It really all depends on how good the price is, but I generally buy my gear from one of two places: Camera Canada, and Don's Photo in Saskatoon. I also rent gear when I get the chance from Lens Rentals Canada. LRC has good rates, fast shipping and excellent customer service.
