CNIB Walter Gretzky Golf Tournament

When I was 8 years old, I had a huge crush on Wayne Gretzky. There was a poster of him behind my bedroom door, shirtless, and covered in Bonne Bell lip gloss. I never dreamed I'd be photographing his dad 30 years later...holy cow...30 years. That sounds like a long time.
We had the best day at the CNIB Walter Gretzky Golf Tournament. Walter was funny, playful, and very patient. He signed SO many autographs, always asked people for the correct spelling, signed anything they brought. He even had several pads of his own paper with his name on it, and hand wrote every full autograph. During the few slow times between teams of golfers, Walter would stroll into the trees and find lost balls. SCADS of them. If only I could find a ball like that when I sent it into the trees. He would sing, flirt with the ladies, make jokes, and he brought enthusiasm and energy to the whole day. HUGE thanks to Russ Wlad and Petra Kitteringham from Stantec consulting who booked us for this neat event. This was a print on site job, and while it is hectic, it's also full of instant feedback, all positive. More HUGE Thanks to my partner Lane who kept things moving on the processing /printing end of things and worked the lighting set up on the golf hole we were on.
Looking forward to next year!
