Tashish-Kwois
Just came back from a trip to the Tashish-Kwois Park on the West Coast.
The park is only accessible from the ocean so we canoed in and up the Tashish-Kwois River.
Unbelievably beautiful place. I shot over 800 photos and I am slowly working on the picks. I´ll add a gallery from the park in the next few days. Oh and speaking of galleries, on the right hand panel there is a new feature, galleries. It is a flash based collections of my work. I´ll be updating them and adding new ones every now and then so stay tuned.
On the horizon is a journey that will take me through Alberta, Banff, Yellowstone and Colorado. I´ll be leaving at the beginning of October. I have high hopes of getting some quality photos on that trip. More on that later.

Photojournalism on Steroids
In recent years photojournalism has gone through major changes. Switching from film to digital has been a fast and a furious process. Digital imaging has many advantages but it also raises new ethical dilemmas. The main dilemma being how easy it is to manipulate photographs, turning good photos into perfect ones. For some photographers the temptation to perfect their photos by manipulation is too hard to resist. For some, just like with athletes and steroids, the prize at the end becomes all that matters.
