Edmonton had a great opportunity to learn from a current UFC fighter. The UFC’s Nate Diaz was in town for Aggression MMA IV: Victory on Friday night. Luke Harris from Hayabusa Training Centre in St. Albert arranged for Diaz to come out and hold a seminar for Edmonton area fighters and fight fans.

Since entering the world of sports photography, and more importantly the combat sports scene in Edmonton, Alberta; pixelens photography has learned very quickly that that there is a much larger community at play than just the promotion or specific fight card itself. Edmonton definitely has one of the largest fight scenes in Canada and every day it seems like new fighters are entering the ring. Not only do these new – and current – fighters rely on the local gyms and other fighters to train with, they are constantly seeking out new sponsorship in order to assist them in their quest to be able to train harder, stronger, faster and more often.

Got my copy of FightSport magazine in the mail yesterday. They used one of my images in an interview with Cyrille “Snake” Diabaté who fought at Aggression MMA: First Blood last October. Incidentally, Diabaté just signed a four fight deal with UFC the other day.

The past year has been a good one and a busy one for pixelens photography. The latter part of the winter and spring started off slow as I was still working up in Fort McMurray, but the summer picked up a bit when I went back to an old job and ended up shooting three weddings.

In July, pixelens led one of three Edmonton legs of the 2nd Annual Worldwide Photo Walk. It was an enjoyable experience, meeting with other local photographers and playing around with a rented 15mm Fisheye lens in the downtown Edmonton core. Looking forward to the 3rd Annual walk this year. (more…)
