It was the week before my son River was born.
I was on assignment to shoot the Tim Hortons activation in “Jurassic Park”, the area in front of the ScotiaBank Arena.
The Raptors just won a big game (semi-finals). It was a buzzer beater.
Everyone was out. This bus was in front of the Fairmont Royal York Hotel on Front Street. Couldn't budge. Some proceeded to roof the bus. #RideTheRocket
I was shooting with my Nikon Z6, and immediately sent it via bluetooth to my iPhone.
I posted this shot on Instagram as soon as it happened, tagged BlogTO and CuriocityTO.
They both re-posted the shot! And when I woke up the next day, I had 30,000+ likes!
Here’s my edited version, next to the screen shots of the posts from the two publications.
Fun fact: Reuters actually reached out via Instagram that same night asking to use the photo. I thought it was a scammer and said no. Oh well! Next time.
