Sad News


I was working on a post about the Formula One-Grand Prix of Canada, but I couldn't do it, I'm sorry.  The Week-end in Montreal was overshadowed by the tragic death of Shaun Best.  Shaun died of a heart attack after a dinner with fellow photographers.  I was supposed to be at that dinner, but I didn't make it.  The last time I saw Shaun was during the Vancouver Olympics.  We shot a hockey game standing beside each other.  We had some time before the game to chat and catch up with each other.  I hadn't seen Shaun much since leaving Montreal, where he was based for Reuters.

I had a lot of respect for Shaun.  He was a great guy, and a fabulous photographer.

You can see some of his work here:
