Moondog in July

Ian Johnson's van. He was taking a picture of us on his big Mamiya rig through the driver's window. Meta!

Two cool cats. We cycled two blocks before stopping at this place to shoot a portrait. Why I placed Mangie & Luke in direct sunlight I will never know.

Mangie Chan & Luke Bergen.

Respect the Sacred. Under the Osborne bridge.

Bernie works the water wheel chez moi. Bern Dog, you funny duck you.

Carys sitting at my little table having crackers with two kit-tees. This child is so calm and easy it is almost frightening. 

First photo of the two of us. Bernie and Miss Meg. Winnipeg, MB; July 2017.

Iain heaps and hoes the family garden four miles north of Morden, MB.

Portrait of a man and his tractor. 

Iain's dad Ed found this skull in one of his fields. If you put it up high the flies will pick it clean for you.

Portrait of my sweetheart working the potato patch. I love his expression as well as that red / mint green garage behind him.

Sleeping, not sleeping. I can imagine a very, very good studio inside that silver shack. Summer Kiechje?

Summer silhouette. This was the state of the sky from my vantage point on June 30th.

I picked up this roll from the lab yesterday. 120 Portra 400. A recent roll of summer colour I felt compelled to share. I shot an incredible wedding in East St. Paul yesterday. Kirstin & Andrew. I always learn lessons at these type of high pressure, sharp timeline events. Slow Down, mainly. Time to go for a hot wind bike ride with my lover.

Adios.
