Maligne Canyon Memories

Twenty seven years ago I had the opportunity to photograph Joan and Don's wedding. Soon after, the forestry industry took both to Grande Prairie and eventually Edson.
Two years ago, as a surprise Christmas gift for Joan, Don arranged for a family portrait. However, hold on the portrait as daughter number one decides to spread her wings and move to Toronto.
Well, finally the planets align and daughter comes home for a week! So, off to Jasper we go; dodging raindrops, saving cameras from nearly falling into the river, having a fabulous celebratory meal at Fiddle River, (and somewhere in there...taking portraits)!
Now, let me do the math...I'll be how old when they celebrate their 50th?

The May(not so Fair any more) Hotel

While photographing for one of my clients, I had the opportunity to do some roof walking as well as some ground images. Lots of dust, dirt, old bricks and, for some, perhaps some memories. I wonder how many wedding receptions, anniversaries, and birthday parties were celebrated in what was once a pretty nice Hotel.
