home on the range

i came across this cover shot i did for tourism saskatchewan awhile back. the fun part of this job was meeting the cowboys. i will be heading out their way in a month or so to photograph a round up. i shot a couple last year, and it is quite the adventure. my favorite shot was a portrait of Odin, which you can see by scrolling to the bottom of this blog.

prairie past

a glimpse back in time / not for the chamber of commerce types ... but i like the history..

flowers for food

i saw an interesting video on the globe and mail web site this morning, pertaining to a program in vancouver called flowers for food. turns out, the fellow in this photograph is the creator. so click here for an up lifting story. enjoy.

kenosee lake saskatchewan

i took this photograph awhile back. (actually, quite awhile back). it was meant to be a 'print', but that has not happened yet. the night i shot this was a lot warmer than it is at the lake this eve. who ever is in charge to the warm weather....... have you forgot about us???

prairie meeting

every once in awhile, the yaris and the pumpjack hook up for a friendly chat. after all, one could not exist without the other......

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.

yaris turns one

it seems like yesterday i photographed the yaris in the big sky..... as a baby....

big sky country

well, i am on the great plains, so one should look skyward...

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".

saskatchewan

how i saw this parking lot, in carlyle sask.

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.
