Swirls Ice Cream in Medicine Hat

A photo series of Medicine Hat wouldn't be complete without including the incredibly popular ice cream hangout, Swirls. Admittedly, there's not a whole lot to document, but then again maybe I just wanted a waffle cone. Mission accomplished.
  

Station Coffee Co. in Medicine Hat

I met up for coffee at Station Coffee Co. last week and decided to stick around to snap some pictures afterwards. Back in September 2013, when our Thinking Hat exhibition was taking place in the Beveridge Block, we were invited to take a tour of the Station Coffee building while the renovations were still underway. I thought it would be cool to compare some of those images with a new shoot and share this amazing location on 2nd Street. I followed up with another great space, Inspire Cafe just a few doors down.

Silver Creek by Salazar

I was recently introduced to the videos of Salazar and Silver Creek was the first of their videos that I fell in love with. Here's what they say about it: Silver Creek tells the tale of a young band of outsiders, isolated and teased in their community, who one day discover the magic of their own creativity and imagination. The kids find solace and support in their celebration, though the moment is short-lived, and others try to break them apart.
