Jump! Duck! Run! 2019

Blog, Event

Today was the 2019 running of the Jump! Duck! Run! dog & owner obstacle course.

While I was out photographing the course, a couple of people asked me if they could buy prints from the event. I don’t do that standard race photo package that you might get at a marathon.

So here’s the deal:
Any of today’s images printed as an 8×10 (without the watermark) for $35+HST.
Included in that $35 are both a $10 donation to AROO and a $10 donation to Sit With Me, as well as shipping and handling.

Yes, $20 from each print sold will be donated to the rescues. The rest pretty much just covers my material and shipping costs.

This is a limited time offer, orders MUST be in before midnight June 31st.

Anyone who wants to place an order can contact me at matt@krull.ca

Jump! Duck! Run! 2018

Blog, Event

Jump! Duck! Run! is an Ottawa area event where dogs and their owners run an obstacle course. Think Tough Mudder, but cuddlier. This year’s event supported two local rescue organizations: Sit With Me and Aussie Rescue Ontario.

I spent the day out on the course photographing the participants. What a great day! So many adorable dogs looking so darned happy.

Touch A Truck 2018

Blog, Event

For the second year in a row I had the immense pleasure of photographing Mothercraft Ottawa‘s Touch A Truck event. Hundreds of families marvelled at, crawled all over, and honked the horns of a wide variety of trucks brought in to support the charity. City Services, Construction, Logistics, Military, Public Safety, and more than a few recreational vehicles showed up to show off and bring the joy of big machines to little kids.

Most the trucks had their engines on display.
Getting the trucks ready for showtime is a family affair.

Okay, this isn’t the Firefighter photo my wife was hoping for, but I think he’s a photogenic fellow.
Did you know Ottawa has an Ambulance bus?
There were a number of police officers from both the RCMP and Ottawa police – all were super friendly and engaging with the kids.

I’ve never seen a line-up to get into a garbage truck before – but the kids loved it!
