Late November in Saskatchewan. Not many opportunities to take pictures but a few impressions on the run:

October in Cowboy town. Brisk fall days.

I’ve never taken a camera to the fair before. There is something otherworldly about the lighting which I suppose blends in with my childhood memories of the fair experience with screams and loud music and sweet/greasy smells.

Getting Stuff Out There

I took this picture from a cafe patio and not from a car commercial. I will not claim responsibility if you have a sudden desire to buy this particular automobile, whatever it is.

I offer the next one as a meditative follow-up.

It’s been a while since I posted anything. But I have been taking pictures. Here’s one from an early morning walkabout in July.

Summer Night Practice

after a winter of endless rain, my city is desparate for sun and all things summery. an evening stroll along english bay is very touristy but it was exactly here, on a visit nearly fifteen years ago, that first planted a seed in my head to move. i anticipate staying put this summer. rediscovery is the next best thing to the new experience. might as well start now.

actually an art installation, this:

i bet the price of sod goes up if you put it in a gallery.

Dogs and Water

in my city, dogs are practice children for young couples. but it’s nice to catch them in their own social contexts, as couples or as gangs.
