South Saskatchewan River – Darrell Noakes

Seeing Saskatchewan in a different light

I always wanted to try infrared photography. It always seemed so mysterious. I guess that’s what makes it so appealing.

First storm of the winter

The warnings started on Friday: Heavy snowfall, 10 – 15 cm of snow expected. After Friday’s freezing rain warnings, it would be best to listen to what Environment Canada had to say.

Personal Projects, Photography, Stories

Biggest infrastructure project in Saskatoon’s history just hours away from opening. Perfect excuse for a parade, party and cake.

Construction Sucks!

After using the same Wordpress theme for the past seven years, it’s time to update and, as we all know, construction has a way of getting out of hand.

You looking at me looking at you

In an era of instant selfies, it can be hard to remember there was a time that when you were looking at the camera, someone else was looking back at you.

Days are getting longer, nights are less cold. Night skies at this time of year are spectacular. A recent conversation reminded me of past winter camping trips and, in particular, a trip that I did with a friend a few years ago.

A blue piano in Riverhurst

After the Elbow parade, after Gallery 148, after the best milkshake in the world, we found ourselves in Riverhurst. We decided to take a walk downtown, explore another “Railway and Main” in Saskatchewan. We found a blue piano.

Best milkshake in the world

When I was growing up, the best milkshakes in the world were at the Dairy Bar. It was in the middle of nowhere, but the milkshakes were worth the effort. The Dairy Bar is long gone. But this summer we found the best milkshakes in the world.

Canada Day at Gallery 148

I don’t know where people get the idea that art galleries are stuffy places to be avoided. Art galleries are great places to get to know a community. You find some amazing art and even more amazing people.
