Abandoned Roadside in Saskatchewan

On the drive between Medicine Hat, Alberta and Regina, Saskatchewan along the Trans-Canada Highway I made a point of stopping to explore. In addition to an abandoned home and a number of wooden grain elevators, there was a lot of beauty in these rustic scenes. 

Published Images in Studio Magazine

Last spring I did a video and several photo shoots while Medalta and the artists in residence hosted a 3D ceramic printer for several weeks. Afterwards, I happily agreed to have some of my images published along with an article that Aaron Nelson wrote about the experience in the spring/summer 2014 issue of Studio Magazine. 

The publication has now been released so I can finally share the article here. Greg Pugh and I wheeled that heavy 3D printer into the old factory at Medalta so that I could get that main shot they used in this article - just one more reason it was worth it.

Abandoned Prairie House in Saskatchewan

Abandoned locations are a photographer's playground. Like many, I'm always curious about the hidden stories behind places like this and what clues may have been left behind. 


This abandoned home on the Saskatchewan prairie still had furniture inside it. There was cracking paint, fallen plaster, and peeling linoleum. The house looked ready to collapse, but there were still remnants of someone's life left here. Instead of falling through the floor, I opted to lean in through the windows to snap a few pictures. It was a fascinating (if not eerie) place.
