FISHEYE: Golden U2 memories
What, you think we were going to leave it at that with U2? Here are a few shots using Hipstamatic on my wife’s iPhone, first time I ever used it. Seemed an appropriate way to shoot the show, the artifice of nostalgia using the most modern technology. (Read fan reviews of the concert here and […]
FISHEYE: Brave new world
Our perception is within such a tiny range of scale, this continental-looking bike-path pattern pattern reminds us. Jump a few powers of ten away either in or out and it’s all unrecognizable. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in and out […]
FISHEYE: Why it’s fun to stay there
There seems to be a bit of a mis-labelling going on here. You can find this dandy chap on the wall of the old YMCA, just west of City Hall. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in and out of the […]
FISHEYE: Eagle eye
Despite their popularity in music and nationalistic imagery, eagles are actually very skittish and wary creatures. Stuffed ones, like this example at Fish and Wildlife downtown, are a little easier to sneak up on. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in […]
REVIEW: Warhol well-manufactured
Is it ironic or simply fitting the most moving piece of art in the new Warhol show is a wig? It’s no ordinary hairpiece of course – it’s a wig worn by Warhol (and David Bowie, for that matter), another prop in the artist’s long line of mundane grocery items and human billboards made ridiculously […]
WARHOL: A first look at the AGA show
You’ve heard of Andy Warhol’s statement that everyone gets 15 minutes of fame? Here are 15 seconds worth of pictures! Media got a sneak peek at the Warhol show starting tomorrow at the Art Gallery of Alberta, and Gig City’s Fish Griwkowsky will be providing a full report (Edit: Now posted and you can read […]
FISHEYE: Get your xanthophyll
This tidily symbolises the modern Edmonton aesthetic. It’s a beautiful plaque from the past (on the Leg Grounds), a bit of dignified design neglected and forgotten not just stating an obvious problem, but accentuating how no one’s dealing with it properly. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual […]
FISHEYE: Dog days
Anyone missing a horse? Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in and out of the city.
FISHEYE: Gone to pot
We can certainly see how we need a new bridge, an arena, a museum and a municipal spaceport when millions of these live on our roads. Have you TRIED riding a bike on the streets lately? Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his […]
FISHEYE: Red-Light Special
Three Edmonton musical luminaries – Lyle Bell, Trevor Anderson and Ted Wright – enjoy the Jessica Rabbit number during Capital City Burlesque’s “Release the Geek” show last night at Starlite. Costumed nods to nerd-dom included Ghostbusters, Star Trek and Wars, G.I. Joe, He-Man and She-Ra. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish […]
FISHEYE: Hop Hip Nation
Is there anything worse than being slightly behind your camouflage time? I suppose a hip injury or something … Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in and out of the city.
