Tonight was the opening night of the 2011/2012 NHL Season, the Canucks played the Pittsburgh Penguins and lost in a shoot out 4-3. The Canucks also lost the last game of the previous season and a chance to win the Stanley Cup at home vs the Boston Bruins . I would like to share a series of images that I created from the night of Game 7, June 15th 2011. You can view the gallery by clicking HERE…

I met James Collister just over a year ago at the NSMBA grand opening for the trail Bobsled on the North Shore. We talked about doing a creative shoot together and although it took a while to find time to make it happen, we ended up having a blast and are making plans to shoot again at the end of the summer! You can check out the images from our recent shoot in Squamish by clicking HERE.
Nike has decided to take on the action sports world and they have really done a great job with their Nike 6.0 brand which includes Surf, Snow, BMX, Moto, Wake and Ski. The lastest video Chosen has caught my attention in a BIG way! Not only is it a showcase of some of the worlds best action sports athletes, but it is also directed by Lance Acord of PARK PICTURES. Lance has created some incredible commercials and has inspired me to look into the world of video/motion… For all of you behind the scenes junkies, click here to check out the making of Nike Chosen.
I recently received an email with some exciting news about the PX3 contest I entered a few months ago…
The email said: Spencer Kovats of Canada was Awarded: Gold in category Press (Sports) for the entry entitled, “Skydivers”. The jury selected PX3 2011’s winners from thousands of photography entries from over 85 countries.
I was really surprised to find out I had won considering this was the first photography competition that I had entered! I’m not one to toot my own horn but in this case I really couldn’t resist! Below is the Gold medal and also my winning images.
