You are invited…

By | Blog, Gallery Shows, Photography | No Comments

I am pleased to officially announce that my sister Elaine and I are having a photography show and sale for the entire month of August! If you should find yourself driving down the #2 Highway, and are about to pass Holland, MB, take a driving break and pop in to the Tiger Hills Arts Association gallery to see our show.

The theme for our gallery show is The Country In Us. Visitors can expect to see a collection of fine art photography, depicting images of home and the bits of country that we’ve discovered in other places. Elaine and I have a strong connection to the Tiger Hills area of Manitoba and find peace, restoration and beauty there. We especially enjoy introducing and sharing the area with friends… so if our gallery show gives you a reason to take a drive out to the country, we’d think that is pretty awesome.

For the month of August, the gallery is open Tuesday to Friday from 10 am to 5 pm. Saturday to Monday, by appointment only.

365two: Days 225-231

365two-Week33

This week, Elaine and I kept at it… working on planning our August gallery show. Elaine got all the writing done, plus checked into print pricing, etc. and I took our rough sketch of a layout to something a little more organized. In total, we plan to print and hang around 25 photos — visitors can expect to see a collection of fine art photography, depicting images of home and the bits of country that we’ve discovered in other places. Elaine and I find peace out there, and we hope that will come through in our exhibit.

365two-Week32

This week my sister Elaine and I started planning our next gallery show in earnest and as a result, my 365two project is going to focus on that for the next few weeks. We are both madly trying to finish the bulk of the work before end of June so that we can enjoy our summer outside (instead of in front of the computer). Our combined photography show will be up for the entire month of August at the Tiger Hills Arts Association (THAA) gallery in Holland, Manitoba.

Farm Project: Wrap-up

By | Blog, Farm Project, Photography | No Comments

It’s hard to believe, but our year-long farm photography project is done! I’m so glad that Elaine and I decided to start it in the first place, that our family got excited about it too, and that we stuck with it to the end. In 2013, we’ll be starting phase two which is to choose the photos that best represent our family’s farm life over the generations (all the way back to the early 1900’s). Those photos will be going into a book that we’ll be designing as a family keepsake. My sister and I are also planning a gallery show in August (more news on that later!).

Farm Project: December

By | Blog, Farm Project, Photography | No Comments

Blog: Farm Project, Dec-1

I don’t have a lot of farm-related photos from December because my sister and I didn’t head out until our annual family gathering for Christmas. Mom did send me a couple of photos to show the progress on the scale shed that Warren has been building on his yard. When it is done, it will be large enough to park both the semi and grain trailer inside it. On days when it isn’t too cold or windy to safely work, Warren and Dad have been framing in the walls and rafters.

Farm Project: November

By | Blog, Farm Project, Photography | No Comments

Blog: Farm Project-Nov1

Last weekend, my sister and I drove out to the country for November’s installment of our farm project. We had intended on coming back to the city Saturday night or Sunday morning, but due to the first big snowstorm of 2012, we got stuck on Mom and Dad’s yard until Monday morning. It was a lot of fun though… Dad made us popcorn, Mom cooked delicious meals, I had mid-day naps, and we played several games of bien (a Belgian card game that I love). Our main focus for the weekend though was attending Saturday’s cattle sale, in which my brother Gordie had six bred heifers up for auction.
