Exploring Canada’s Portrait Competition


Tonight I attended the gala opening of the Canadian Portrait Prize competition.  The 35+ entries were displayed at the Gananoque Firehouse Theatre and are there unti the end of the month.  What a portrait is defined as really surprised me… so varied.

Above is a screenshot from just before going in, asking the universe to get people to sign my release forms.  No go, no one would talk to me.october 4 2007

Exploring a Plowing Match


I’m at Canada’s largest outdoor agricultural exhibition, the International Plowing Match in Bruce County.  It’s a big deal, like, the PM was here earlier this week trying his hand at plowing furrows.  

This exploration didn’t work out since it wasn’t until I got there and was surrounded by logos of companies who’ve never heard of me did I realize I was totally effed.   september 20 2007
