Cowboy Junkies


came across this image today. in the late 90's, i was asked by an art director friend of mine from toronto to shoot the cover for the Cowboy Junkies new album titled 'Miles From Our Home'. the art director was a former band member, and continued to do session work for the band. he also designed all of their album print material.

the band had rented a farm north of toronto to write the album. we went up in the fall and spent a few days simply shooting the surroundings. this is what i came up with. it seemed everyone liked the shot, except for a few folks at Geffen (the label in LA.)(i was living in LA at the time). they figured it was a little 'dark'. so, they ended going up with some other images i had shot / but i liked this one.

snowleaf


i went for a run this morn, and noticed the interesting contrast between the fallen leaves, and the melting snow (humm.. snow / a little too early for my taste). so i picked up the canon, and went for a walk. this is what i ended up with. reminds me of a simple elegant dessert / something i have yet to master.

i was doing some house cleaning due to the snowy weather, and came across my portrait of boise lechner. he was quite the character. this was shot at his farm south of oxbow in the late 80's, as part of a portrait series i was doing, fresh out of ryerson. around the same time, i was lucky enough to work on a project with writer W.P. Kinsella (field of dreams fellow). he had met boise, and i think they connected. i remember sending bill this shot a few years ago, and i know it brought back some fond memories for him. and it does the same for me.

i went down to radville this aft, to learn a little about canning beets (and raiding a garden). this is my portrait of scott and geeta, the instructors. it's always worth the drive. i hope i captured their spirit.
