Magenta Flash Forward 2011

Details

Getting close to being done. Some of the little bits I've been working on the last few days: hikers looking off the back of Tunnel Mountain, tourists at Surprise corner and a few climbers on Ballista. Did I mention I'm starting to really reach my maximum tolerance for working in N scale? These figures are half an inch tall and I curse them everyday.

Mount Field

A respite from the mini world...

Stories

Can't remember if it was Chris or John who said this but man, I thought was funny...and true.

Steph and Maddy

Didn't get a chance to put this as a big print in the show but I love this shot.

Art Gallery of Alberta exhibition

Info about My Banff is now up on the Art Gallery of Alberta website. Thanks to Griff, Ali, Ed and Andrea for being rock stars.

Small Portraits

An example of how I'm presenting the tiny portraits in the diorama. Steph and Maddy.

The Bridge

Spend a long time working on the bridge yesterday. My Dad had made a great bridge when he was here last week but I wrecked it when I tried to add cobblestones so I had to make a new one. AGH. Also added a person climbing the bridge because my friend Paul has climbed the cracks in the bridge in the spring time. Getting pretty close to being done!!

Stretching the Brain

Did some pics yesterday at Norquay with my buddy Griff and his friends Paddy and Miguel. I've never tried doing ski/snowboard photos like this before and man, it was tricky. Also have a new appreciation for people who do these crazy ski tricks!! Here's a couple that I think turned out okay...definitely do not feel pro in this type of photography.

Surprise Corner, The Banff Springs and Some Horseback Riders

Decided late last week to actually put some of the information about the buildings on the white cards with the images. These are based on my thoughts about the place or things I've gathered from other people. I also think I may have figured out a solution for the river.
