The Magic Hour : Prairie Style

I took a trip to Saskatchewan this weekend for Canada Day to hang out with a dear friend and came across all kinds of magical things. I basically stumbled across my dream town for photographing - there was a snack shack by the beach, a dance hall and a fully operational drive-in movie theatre! I also came to think that the prairie sky gives the mountains a good run for their money when it comes to beauty.

Images for Botega Hair Salon, Banff

Last week I had the opportunity to collaborate with the amazing stylists at Botega on a photoshoot to feature their styling wizardry. Hair by Kate, Fiona and Cassidy. Make-up by Payton. Clothes by Cabin 108.

Here's a few from the shoot:

A funny note

Found this note (along with a bunch of errant socks, t-shirts, etc) when I got back to the house after a run the other day.

A few pictures from the visit to the Bear Creek compound today. An area called 'The Island' is where I hope to install my project next summer. The first few pictures are of the compound proper while the last few are from the Island itself, the area at Bear Creek where the majority of residences were located. There are still a number of houses and roads in this area, though they are quickly becoming overgrown.


Thanks to Greg Hakonson for the tour and to Parks Canada for facilitating the access to the site.
