Beauties and the Beast
Beauties and The Beast
Way back in the immediate past, the second storm of winter plunked itself down on the Canadian prairies. Luckily, while the barometer was changing, I had a photo shoot with a couple of beauties, a blonde and brunette, to be exact. It made a nice contrast to use a scrappy, salamander coloured, 40′s truck as a backdrop. Dramatic skies helped but they were no competition to the wind providing a natural fan to the scene. My assistant nearly flew off across the landscape aided by the reflector acting as a sail. Undaunted, we persevered; those models were a hardy set and I, in layers of outerwear with frozen digits, just kept on clicking. The weather had warmed just enough to leave the permafrost surrounding The Beast surrounded by a softened skim of mud. Oops, mind the frocks, ladies!
Now, passion has me hovering behind the glass in such conditions but I often wonder why glamourous ladies want to be strutting out to take posing directions in skimpy outfits in front of rusty relics. We had such fun!

Hanging On To Fall
Hanging On To Fall
In many parts of the world, the fall season lingers longer than on the prairies, where the first major windstorm scatters all of the crisp poplar leaves into the far corners of the neighbourhood. Where I come from and places I go, I am always amazed that well into November, deciduous leaves still grasp onto wispy branches on brisk days and the colour soaked landscape pervades more than a few weeks, a mere whisper between summer and winter. Eventually, even in those destinations with malingering autumns, the last leaves fall to the destiny of recycling back to the earth from where they have sprung.
