Toronto Photography Meetup Group

Did anybody go to the Joannie Rochette (Olympic bronze medalist in figure skating) autograph signing at the Eaton Centre today?

I saw quite a handful of DSLR photographers there, so if you did go I would love to see what you were able to get. It was hectic and crowded as hell so trying to get a decent shot was pretty hard.

Here are a few of mine:

Same here, I would have gone if I had known.

She'll be back in T.O for Stars On Ice at the end of April though, I wonder if any of the skaters will make a public appearance then.

Thanks guys.

I didn't find out about this til the night before and I didn't think many people would know about it at all. It was also scheduled for 1:30-2:30pm during school/work hours so I expected maybe ~50-80 people show up.

I even arrived 45mins early...and when I saw the line I didn't even bother lining up at all. There was no way they were even going to get through half the line and more people kept showing up.

Snapshot below (you can see why it was almost impossible to get a decent shot):
