I have to say that I love magazine assignments. The most obvious is because the photos are printed on beautiful paper stock and they can also play very large. And when working with a talented art director, the design just holds up the story and images in perfect harmony. Ahhh. Text + Image equals a wonderful experience. I really hope the iPad will allow these great art directors to really push for beautiful and intuitive design that just works.

Ok. Back to the photography. I was assigned by Edmonton's Avenue Magazine to take the photos of a local parkour group for their May edition. The story was written by Kimberley Ireton. The traceurs (a practitioner of parkour) in the photos are Wayne Higham, David Tonner and Thera Raudsepp.
