R.I.P Cornelius 2008 – 2009
Kamloops, July 30, 2009
After a long and valiant fight with water damage it is with much sadness that I have to announce the passing of the star of this blog, Cornelius. He was 11 months old.
He was a wonderful travel partner, who was always keen to go where most cameras knew they should not. Cornelius was aware of the risks, and was always the first to charge out of the gate into unknown territories. He has been busy over the last month traveling to Mt. Hood, Paris, then to his final destination on the Thompson River in Kamloops BC. He spent his last hours where he loved to be, at the top of a hill sprint capturing images of athletes puking their guts out.
Cornelius will be fondly missed by his long time friend Sean Frith as well as the countless ski racers whose souls he stole.
“My favourite thing is to go where I’ve never been.” – Cornelius, Baja Mexico Sept 08.

Hill Sprints
Roger thinks about it.
Austin thinks about it.
Daniel does it.
As did Peter and Austin, but most did. Keep it up Nick.
Peter and Roger amassed such a lead in the wheelbarrow race they stopped for a photo op.
Moments from the end. Justin Hayto: Blue Steel. Cornelius’ last photo.
Rest in peace friend.
