A Zombie Takeover

​Zombie Walk for Dark Bridges Film Festival - Saskatoon, Sk Canada

Blood.  Brains.  Outstretched arms.  Vacant stares.

It seems no one was immune.  Firefighters, newlyweds, panhandlers, interstellar supersoldiers, even a guy who was obviously bitten while on the toilet.  The latter was found walking the streets with his pants down to his ankles & holding a copy of Men's Health magazine, all while slowly shuffling up the Broadway Bridge from the Vimy Memorial in downtown Saskatoon.  

I caught the action as the "Bridge City" was flooded with hundreds of would-be zombies on October 1st, 2011.  The Zombie Walk coincided with the 2nd annual Dark Bridges Film Festival in Saskatoon on a cool autumn Saturday afternoon.

Shot with a D90 & D70s with a Lensbaby 2.0, I wanted a surreal, post-apocalyptic look.  Check out below for a gallery of my images from the event.​
