Dizzyingly lost in the Labyrinth

Art and Ephemera, Framed Prints, Personal Projects, Photography, Stories, Works available to the public / October 15, 2026 by Darrell Noakes

Lock your eyes on the goal, the centre.

The large stone grows larger as you spiral in toward it.

Step briskly.

The world whirls until your woozy vision transforms the ground you thought you knew into a staccato jumble of confusing shapes.

Left is right, right is left, and back again, and again.

The Labyrinth. A simple trail of stones. Funny how it can make you re-calibrate your frame of reference, if you let it.

This composite photograph from 14 separate compositions is available in framed limited editions of five 8×10 prints and 10 5×7 prints.

This day in 1987

One day in early September, 1987, I got a call from a freelance writer looking for a photographer to accompany him on an assignment.

This day long ago

Warm evening on the cusp of autumn. Flocks of Canada geese honking overhead and harvest dust tinting evening skies remind you that fall is already well underway.

The Fowl Supper

It’s fall supper season in Saskatchewan. Back in 1986, they still referred to these as fowl suppers. Did you wonder what it was like behind the scenes, before the doors opened?

Memory Tree #1

Beating around the bush

This is a composite of 15 individual photos taken on two different days, under changing weather and lighting conditions. Each photo was approached from a different angle, then layered to produce a dreamlike rendering.

Hydrodynamic 5, Elbow Saskatchewan

Conceptualizing Water and Wind

Someone has taken a lot of time to paint the fire hydrants in the Village of Elbow. Every time I visited, friends would say to me, “You should get photos of the fire hydrants.” So I did. But what to do next?

Aurora Borealis over Gardiner Dam

At last, a clear night sky!

Electric night over Gardiner Dam and Lake Diefenbaker. Too many nights when the aurora should be good, we got clouds. Not this night. I barely felt the cold.
