On my way home from university yesterday, the LRT train I was on unexpectedly lost power (apparently a vehicle crashed into one of the barricades which toppled over a power line). We were stuck inside for an hour before they finally opened the doors and had us just walk down the tracks to the closest intersection.
Anyway, I happened to have the camera with me, and snapped off a few pics! When I told my friend, she urged me to contact the Edmonton Journal and send them the photos and they would probably pay me something for them (she's a freelance journalism student). So, long story short, they ended up posting/printing the pics (which you can view here (http://www.edmontonjournal.com/power+outage+affects+Edmontonians/3702266/story.html))!
It's a pretty small thing, but it's the first time I've ever submitted anything, and I thought it was kinda neat. Just wanted to share :)
