I quickly filed my action shots from the Moose game, and threw the shot of Bieber in there as well. My phone rang seconds later, and it was the Photo Desk asking if this was an exclusive shot (it was, as I was the only photographer to take the shot). They said that this is likely going to be the cover shot for the paper the next day. I said that I didn't think it was the greatest shot, and asked If I could try to get a closer shot.
Long story short, with the help of the MTS centre VIP guest services liaisons, I was allowed to photograph Justin Bieber with his father, and that shot made the cover of the Winnipeg Free Press the next day.
