Friends and colleagues remembered renowned Canadian photojournalist Ted Rhodes this week after he passed away last weekend after a skiing accident in Fernie, B.C. at the age of 65.
Rhodes suffered critical injuries in the crash. He was admitted to a hospital around 5 p.m., where he succumbed before RCMP arrived.
Born in London, Ont., and raised in Kitchener, Rhodes began his career at the Cape Breton Post before working at the Woodstock Sentinel-Review and Windsor Star. He joined the staff of the Calgary Herald in 2003. He retired in 2016.
Rhodes is remembered as an adventurous and fearless photojournalist, an inspiring mentor and generous free spirit with an eye for capturing memorable images, in a piece published by the Calgary Herald.
