Heading south we crossed the border into Idaho in the late afternoon. We were on our way to Spokane for the night before continuing on to Portland. Thankfully, the slogan on the Idaho license plate proved to be accurate and we were treated to some stunning views. Through the mountains and rolling hills, the quiet roads were a pleasure to drive in the 300. Passed Sandpoint we stopped at Cocolalla Lake to dip our feet in the water as the sun began to set. It was the beginning of an incredible road trip through the Northwest, and it had Mike and I enthusiastic about the journey ahead.
The interior of the Beveridge Block in downtown Medicine Hat is quite incredible. During the weekend of our Thinking Hat exhibition I had time to walk through the space numerous times, which was now free of a lot of the clutter that filled the building when I did my original interior shoot of the location back in February.
The contrast of shooting the location as an abandoned building in the middle of winter earlier this year and then photographing it again with the space cleaned up for our exhibition was dramatic. The details that remain in this location are absolutely beautiful, and returning to the Beveridge to showcase some of my photographs of Medicine Hat seemed to endear me to this place even more.
