That would be me with the camera. Being the host photographer gives you great access!
The media where stuck farther away. RCMP and security guy where everywhere. At one point, I felt a vigorous hand on the back of my shoulder, then I heard a guy who was in charge of helping me doing me my job screaming “HOST PHOTOGRAPHER! HOST PHOTOGRAPHER!”. Then the hand went away. I was probably a second away of being thrown to the ground…

Update: Oups! PM’s official photographer got me in his frame too…


Ohhhhhh snapp! T’es chanceux! On a un beau travail quand même non? Moi j’ai eu la chance d’être a 30m d’eux au plus près (ahah).
Le sommet fût une belle expérience, merci francis!
