Zombie Bride

Zombie Bride
I visited Downtown Calgary on Saturday, October 15, 2011 to get some pictures of the "Occupy Calgary" gathering which is part of the movement that started with "Occupy Wall Street". I was happy to find that on the same day there was a Zombie Walk that was also downtown. So, I got some pics from both. From all I saw, both events were pretty peaceful. The Zombies won't be back till next year. The Occupy Calgary are trying to maintain an ongoing action, with some protesters camped out on St. Patrick's Island.

Magnificent Mezzo Soprano

Barbara King is a mezzo-soprano opera singer currently residing in Calgary. She was performing at Livingston Place (200-block of 2nd Avenue SW). It was a show put on for tenants, by Bentall, who runs the office complex. She's an exceptional singer, who can carry her voice very far, while maintaining amazing quality.

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.
