I covered the White Pride March, organized by the Aryan Guard, today through downtown Calgary. This was the wrap up of my photo essay on the Aryan Guard and Neo-Nazi Skin Heads.

I will post more details about the story later on.

This is an Anti-Racist that I encountered during the protest. A White pride supporter assaulted him and I was attempting to photograph his blood. He took a fingertip wipe of his blood and wiped it on my face.

I am not sure what his reasoning was with that. He obviously wanted to be photographed- causing a scene in public- so I wonder why he felt compelled to wipe it on me. If anybody know the answer to that- send me an Email Me. Contact@BrettGundlock.com

Basically, I have been slacking on my updates. Busy life, un-exciting photography from me- I could come up with a million excuses- but I am back.

I got to Calgary Friday March 6 and I am working on a story on a Neo-Nazi group of skinheads called the Aryan Guard. I have been working on this for almost a full year, being in Toronto has not helped logistically wise for shooting though.

I have taken just over two weeks of holidays to work on this and I will be here for 18 days. On the 21 the group hosts an annual White Pride march through downtown Calgary. This will be the event that I will be working around.

I will update with my progress over the next couple of weeks.

Ok blog, I have not been paying enough attention to you, I am sorry. I know you don’t want to hear excuses, but work life/personal life has been very busy over the last week. I even forgot to do my Where in the World for you last Thursday.

To apologize, I will give you this post, a special Where in the World from last Friday.

While I was shooting the Obama Café in Toronto, (a café inspired by Obama, similar to the thousands of entrepreneurs using Obama and change as their marketing plan,) this man approached me to ask if I worked for the government or any type of law agency.

After assuring him that I did not, he offered to pose for a photo with his arms wide and a toothless smile. When I raised my camera he quickly changed his mind and took up this position and then turned and ran.

Before he went through the doors of a nearby saloon, he gave me one more quizzical look and repeated his questioning.

Very funny situation for me.

Also included is another photograph of the Cafe.

Forgot to post this on Thursday. The guidelines I set for shooting this feature around 3 p.m. will be very loosely  enforced.

5:46 p.m. Working on my personal project (which will be finished soon) at Sir Robert L Borden school in Scarbrough, ON.

I am starting a new feature for my blog called Where in the World?

Pretty straightforward weekly feature, every Thursday around 4 p.m. I will try and make a picture of wherever I am. I think it will be a cool thing for me to look back on and I might be entertaining for my loyal blog followers (thanks Mom!)
