In the TV world, we call it the money shot. You know, of all the photos you shoot during your vacation, it’s the one shot that makes people go “wow, did YOU shoot that?”
In my case, yes I did. Over the last couple of years or so, I’ve picked up photography as a hobby. Started out with an old Canon Digital Rebel, firing away at anything and everything. Might sound strange coming from a guy who’s on TV everyday. I mean, TV needs video. We need to see things moving, on screen. Sheesh, even YouTube’s good enough in a pinch. Still images just don’t cut it anymore, right?
Join the CBC's Muhammad Lila as he chronicles the trip of a lifetime during the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca. As a journalist, he'll be asking tough questions, posting daily updates, and talking to the Canadians at the heart of Mecca's transformation.
