NEWSLETTER - MARCH 2003


The new html format newsletter with images has proved very popular with picture buyers. You may also notice that we are moving towards using the name Photograpers Direct rather than Picture Search. This reflects a change of direction in the service which will become clearer once we have launched our new website. Hopefully within the next month!

Rappel in Water
Martin Paquette is one of Canada's few adventure photographers, and the country's leading adventure race photographer. Adventure racing/adventure travelling is one of the most difficult sports to photograph. Photographers, like their subjects, hardly sleep, eat, or bathe while shooting a race. During a race, they traverse as many kilometres as the racers themselves - hiking, cycling, diving and even dangling off cliffs in the pursuit of the perfect shot.
