These pictures are from our summer road trip through British Columbia. This guy was at the roadside by the gas station in McBride. Chetwynd, further north, is without a doubt the go-to town for chainsaw sculpture. They have an annual competition and the main street is lined with super intricate and ambitious works (see some here). I kind of preferred these modest, smiling animals. I regret that I did not get the artist's name. I was afraid to chat with him in case the words, "I will buy that great big rabbit" popped out of my mouth by mistake.

I'm totally nightblind, so the 20 images I took with my video camera of Lisa's work were all badly out of focus. Will replace with something better tomorrow. Excuses. Excuses. Ed forgot to bring a better camera for me to use. It's all his fault.
[eta: Ed has redeemed himself by providing me with a better image of Lisa's eye]
Party Party Party! Liberal leadership race on this weekend.
Remember to guzzle a rye & ginger whenever you hear the word Trudeau. (and remember that you-know-who-from-somewhere-else-with-that-nuanced-view-on-torture bears no resemblance to he that was cool, but still may invoke the name.)
I want to see the country governed by fabulous dead people.
Check out the front pages of the current issue of Prefix Photo for my digital project about the Muskwa Kechika. We have an exhibition coming up in February at the Dawson Creek Art Gallery showcasing work by everyone who participated in the Muskwa Kechika Artists Exploration Camp. I'll be showing a dvd with a little bit of narrative and a lot of goofy home-style effects.
