Weegee Night at the Stampede

At least once a year I organize a Weegee night for our Large Format Users Group here in Calgary. This year it was at our Stampede.

I found that most people seemed glued to their cellphones while walking around the grounds. Either texting or talking, but certainly not paying any attention to either the people they were with or the people around them.

The last photo in the series is a "news" type of photo taken just after an accident with one of the rides.

Ya those old Metz potato masher flashes could light up a stadium LOL. I have another Sunpak masher that is even more powerful. Back when I was doing newspaper work it was a must have for night shots or indoor stuff. Mind you that was back in the 70's and 80's.
 
Male? Female? Not yet decided? There are plenty of strange bipods like that here in the Portland (OR) area, too. However, I doubt you'd find them at the Pendleton Roundup (running yesterday through Sunday, as the 100th edition).
