Hacking Photography - one Picture at a time
On December 20th, 2018, a winter storm in the City of White Rock, British Columbia, Canada made for some dramatic photos and resulted in the helicopter rescue of one man.

The organizers were expecting approximately 300 participants to show up; however, as word spread via social media, that number quickly grew to about 2000.
