One day in early September, 1987, I got a call from a freelance writer looking for a photographer to accompany him on an assignment.
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.
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.
Moody autumn evening in Saskatoon
There’s a chill in the air. Clouds scud overhead, yet the street lies still and quiet on an autumn evening.
Fall falls formally on film
Viewing the first day of fall through a vintage lens. Film renders the hues and textures of autumn light the way our memories see them.
September memories
September, summer quietly turns to fall. It happens subtly at first, so subtly that you think summer might never end.
Memories in film: Cats Basking
Barn cats relaxing in warm sunshine on a late autumn day, 1 November 1987.
A great day to tour the countryside
A warm autumn day is made for exploring the back roads, enjoying a little wine on a patio overlooking the South Saskatchewan River, and spending the evening soaking in hot mineral springs.
Banking on words
I really enjoyed that warm September day in 2011 when we found that cookbook at Crawford’s Used Books, in Perdue, 60 km west of Saskatoon.
