The Faces of High River 2


Here we go again High River (and all those who are willing to driving to High River to have your picture taken).
Last year, around this time, I set up a photography studio and for 8 hours took photos of anyone in High River that was willing to stop by, spend 15 minutes and sit in front of a camera. I must admit, that my modest goal of 25 people was surpassed and the turn out was amazing. End of day, 33 people have sat on the stool, 1500+ pictures were taken and 7.35 GB of digital memory were used. Elated doesn't begin to describe my feelings! 

So, a year later, we are doing it again. This time, with a twist. It was suggested by the wonderfully talented Annie that I should use the idea of "2" as a means to a) change things up a bit, and b) add some flavour. So here it is: In order for you to get your photo taken, you must either bring another person (2), an object that you connect with (2) or an outfit or uniform that is you (2). Can you see a pattern? The theme of 2.

I got wind of a slightly insane rumor, but it was proved true last Saturday. I was informed that there was a gentleman who wanted to have his picture taken with his horse. I laughed - how was a horse going to fit into the art gallery where I will be taking photo's? But, no word of a lie, I met the man himself (and I will meet the horse, Jake, next Saturday). If that doesn't set the tone for a great day, I'm not too sure what will?

So, even if you aren't from High River, but want to have a great afternoon drive, some homemade baked goods (I'm trying my hand a croissants, scones and muffins), and your face forever part of The Faces of High River 2, stop by. I'd love to see you.
Have a great Easter. I'm looking forward to drowning in a sea of Cadbury Mini Eggs!
