prairie town

i understand that kipling saskatchewan is having a birthday this year / 100 years, so i'm posting my official town portrait (it's not a red clip, but at least a red truck). kipling has a few stories / one of them below.. from wikipedia.


On 12 July 2006, Kyle MacDonald made his final trade with the town of Kipling, Saskatchewan after a successful series of trades from one red paperclip. The house is located on 503 Main Street. Kyle bartered the right to a role in a film to be produced by Corbin Bernsen called Donna on Demand for his house. Kyle and his girlfriend, Dominique Dupuis moved into Kipling around Labor Day, 2006. Open auditions for the movie role were held in Kipling, with Bernsen selecting 19-year-old local resident Nolan Hubbard for the role.

big sky country

greeting card

last week, i was looking for a greeting card in the gastown area of vancouver. on the rack, i was surprised to see one of my photographs adoring a birthday card.

the greeting goes as follows: "at our age, inflation strikes more than the pocketbook! Happy Birthday".

yaris turns one

happy birthday to the roaming yaris / i shot this a year ago / one of my favorites. sask is big sky country. quite the canvas to my eye...

saskatchewan landscape / coming soon

i'm hoping this is what the lay of the land will look like soon.

i shot this awhile back as i was scouting for an assignment for adidas. the mist is actually a smudge a farmer had going for the horses. i like the effect.

vancouver music vibe 2

ok, the 'story' seemed more interesting yesterday than it does today, but here goes.

i met Marrett and his friends in stanley park while i was shooting video of their "drum circle". i guess of group of 10 or so souls get together on sundays to lay down the beat from their african drums, called djembes. Marrett noticed me filming, and asked if he could get a dvd of the shoot.

so we finally met up yesterday to pass along the disc, and he brought his animal pal, Othello (all 160 lbs of him). i immediately thought of a portrait of the 2 of them, with his drum, down on the beach. but i wanted to shoot it after sunset, using flash etc etc, so i thought i'd shoot it next fall (as i'm heading back to the prairies). Marrett was game, but then we thought, why not try something right now/might fluke out. so he hustled home and got his djembes, and i went for the canon. we met half way / i saw the bench and the tree shadow. 5 minutes later, i had my shot. it might be a winner. well........ i like it at least..........

eventually, i will post the drum circle video.

vancouver music vibe

i just shot this image an hour ago. there is a story behind it, which i will tell tomorrow with another variation or two. i wanted to get it on line as the subject (s) might want to have a look tonight. i'm heading back out to the beach to catch the sunset... stay tuned. CLICK ON PHOTO TO ENLARGE.

tourism saskatchewan

man.. this is a blast from the past. i came across this image i shot for tourism sask a few years back. for you photo folks, i shot 4x5 / B&W film, and i think we did the color on a quantel paintbox (i'm sure i have spelled that wrong). any ways, it was a fun project.

stanley park, vancouver bc

DUCK FIGHT!!!
