Toronto350.org photos from the Forward on Climate Rally

I am in the process of uploading my photos from this weekend’s rally in Washington D.C. calling on President Obama to reject the Keystone XL pipeline.

[Update: 19 FEB 2013] My six favourite photos from the Forward on Climate rally in Washington D.C. on Sunday February 17th, 2013:

Body, lens, and battery grip damaged

Moments after this photo was taken, my tripod slipped and my 5D Mk II, complete with battery grip and 24-70 f/2.8L lens crashed violently into the wooden floor.

The front of the lens is smashed, and the camera no longer connects properly to the battery grip. The lens also creaks a bit when zooming and focusing, though a very preliminary assessment suggests that it can still autofocus.

I will be taking the whole assembly to Henry’s tomorrow so that they can send it off to Canon for repair. I have no idea how much the repair will cost – or if any issues will remain with the body, grip, or lens once the repairs are done.

During the next month or so, I will try to sell some affordable prints in order to pay some of the repair cost.
