UPDATE, well it seems that Michael Jordan heard my plea and killed the Jose deal!
Toronto photographers rejoice!
Re-UPDATE, January 30, 2013, Jose Calderon rumored to be trades to the Memphis Grizzlies with Ed Davis for Rudy Gay, Jose is also rumored to being flipped to the Detroit Pistons. See the bottom of the blog for my favourites of Jose over the past two seasons.
Photographers that cover the Raptors have suffered their second big loss.
A lot of us will mourn the departure of Jose Calderon.
Jose and Chris Bosh both had what photographers love in a player, Great Face!
They did not play the game with straight faces.
Their faces showed us how much effort they put into a play.
They showed us the emotion, a look at their faces and you knew how the game was going.
I always felt good knowing that I was a tad taller than Jose,
I look at him and dream that if I was about 40 pounds lighter, quicker, had a better vertical, had a jump shot and could dribble that might be me in the NBA! I'm sure that is a dream shared by many!
While the jury, or fans are still out whether Chris Bosh will be booed whenever he visits the Air Canada Centre, I know Jose's visits will be welcomed like Matt Bonner's. Either way the departure of the pair makes my job a little tougher.
I'll also miss Jose for the small reason that he gave the Toronto one more cheer other than the "Go Raptors Go!" and "D-Fence!"
Buena Suerte en Charlotte, ....er, Memphis, ......, er, Detroit, Jose!

The Queen moves along King Street following the service accepting flowers and making small talk.
Earlier this week, Queen Elizabeth completed yet another trip to Canada. It could, very well, be her last visit to the former colony. Then again, her mother lived to a ripe old age (over 100) and although Elizabeth is well into her 80s she continues a hectic schedule of appearances and travel. Most of us would be lucky to enjoy her mobility (and I'm not referring to the chauffeur driven cars, motorcades and private airplane) when we are her age. She climbs flights of steps and continues to ride horses. So, I wouldn't be surprised if there was yet another tour in the years ahead.
HRH Queen Elizabeth attended St. James Cathedral Sunday morning.
Having missed most of the antics of the week before (I was lucky to have been off during the days of G20 Summit in Toronto) the crowds associated with HM's visit were quite small and very well mannered.
Because I was not properly accredited for the Royal Tour, I went into the public gallery outside St. James Cathedral on the Sunday morning when Elizabeth and Philip attended Sunday service. I was able to find out where the planned walkabout would occur. I soon realized my luck being almost next to a man named Ian Macdonald. An avid photographer, Mr. Macdonald had shot both the Queen Mum and Elizabeth over a number of Royal Tours. Hanging over the fencing, facing out toward the cars assembled on the street, MacDonald hung a 4 foot picture of Elizabeth's mother. It was a picture he took in 1989. There was a very good chance the photograph would catch the attention of Her Majesty. It did. Macdonald then presented her with an envelope of various other pictures he had taken over the years. For me, it was almost perfect (being on the other side of them would have worked better) as she stopped to speak with him. For 15 seconds, Elizabeth was just a few feet away and conversing with a commoner.
Queen Elizabeth stops to accept some photographs of herself and her mother taken by Ian Macdonald, of Toronto.
Walkabouts for Royalty are fairly routine. Where they stop and chat is often a crap shoot and you either end up in the right place, or totally blocked by the pool photographers or security detail.
The Queen moves along King Street following the service accepting flowers and making small talk.
This walkabout was a far cry from the last Royal visit of 1997. At the time I was working in Ottawa and was positioned on Parliament Hill where she and the Prince would leave the landau. As she began to climb down, my camera refused to work. It was a bad moment as I hit the camera several times, lobbied a number of four-letter words at my camera and eventually picked up a 2nd camera, switched lens to my wide angle, and managed a couple of not-very-good frames before she filtered away in the mass of people. Five minutes later, I was on my phone talking to my then girlfriend who immediately said, "you had problems with your camera." I asked her how she knew that and she said, "because you were live on TV looking down at it and saying something."
Thankfully, the TV coverage didn't pick up my very inappropriate, monosyllabic cursing.
This tour went much smoother.

I have to confess, when I came into work and saw I was assigned to the Toronto FC game and not the Toronto Blue Jay game I was thankful. A year ago I wouldn't have cared.
Why?
Toronto FC now plays on real grass.
I know that athletes perfer to play on the real stuff rather than the synthetic stuff and for totally different reasons photographers would rather shoot the games on the real stuff.
Why?
Real grass absorbs the midday sun, the fake stuff seems to reflect it. Shooting a Blue Jays game in the high afternoon sun means that pretty much anything that happens in the outfield will look out of focus. There are ways to get around it, shoot from a higher vantage point helps.
