In mid-December 2015, I received the good news that three of my photographs were accepted to be part of the InFocus Exhibit 2016, which was held from February 1 to 29, 2016 in Edmonton, Alberta.
What an honour it was to be selected as one of the participants. The mission of InFocus is "to promote and exhibit innovative, thoughtful and provocative photography created by Alberta's contemporary image makers." The opening reception was held on the evening of February 4, 2016 at the DC3 Arts Project location (10567-111 Street, Edmonton, Alberta). It was a huge success, with lots of colleagues and guests attending. |

Reconnections: One of my photography projects is to document small towns in Alberta that have been completely or partially abandoned. I am intrigued by the community spirit in these small towns and the commitment to reconnecting to the past through the restoration of buildings and homes. One of my trips was to Rowley, which is a small hamlet in Alberta. This series of images are visual symbols of how the community has reconnected to the past. For more than a century, grain elevators, often referred to as prairie icons, dominated Alberta’s rural landscape, typically with one elevator in each community (Image: Prairie Icon). Brief whistle stops were made at small train stations and the box car in Rowley reminds us of the importance of this train stop to the community. In 1999, when the last train passed through Rowley, the community decided to restore the train station.
