I happened by this scene by North Hill Centre on 14 Avenue NW. Off camera there's more police presence, suspects being detained, and also mall security nearby.
I took this at the closing gala of the Calgary International Film Festival on September 27, 2008. I tried using a tripod, but the setup didn't work (I'm probably missing a piece), so the poor light left me with poor results.

This is one of the pictures I took across the street from the Artists of the World Gallery, (514 - 11 Avenue SW) in the Beltline community of Calgary on September 24, 2008. Inside Karl Rove gave a speech to an elite group of guests who paid generously to hear him speak.
This is one of the pictures I took outside of the Calgary International Film Festival's opening gala. The film Blindness was being screened at the Globe (617 8 Avenue SW). Except for local media, attendence was very poor.
