FISHEYE: Third Harper stop
There is a political cartoon about Canada’s international reputation in here somewhere … 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: Two dogs enter
Not every husky up in Dawson City, Yukon, is as savage as Jack London’s Buck – take the cute-as-hell puppy above, or friendly blue eyes below, who wandered up unleashed and free early one morning. It’s definitely a dog town (with plenty of foxes, too). Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish […]
FISHEYE: Rail against authority
Even the railings are tough as beaks at the Snake Pit up in Dawson City, Yukon. 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: Police action
This painting is in a bar called The Snake Pit in Dawson City, Yukon. Obviously one would want it, but there would be a certain conversation at home I’d like to avoid. Maybe just best visit it now and then? Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary […]
FISHEYE: Swan take
On the way up to Dawson City, Yukon, so many creatures crossed our path – bison, moose, foxes black and red, countless hawks. You saw the hunting eagle yesterday, so how about something a bit more delicate for today, swans on the move? Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is […]
FISHEYE: To baldly go…
A majestic-yet-timid bald eagle soars higher and higher as it watches over a red fox it had just dropped to its death on a frozen riverbed. Its mate was also lingering, both between Toad and Wood creeks in B.C., so we left them to their handsome business. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature […]
FISHEYE: Spanks for the memories
The various nursery rhyme tile mosaics on the walls of the Royal Alexandra Hospital make up some of the coolest public art in the city. Where else, for instance, can you see a promiscuous, shoe-dwelling crone spanking her child’s bare ass on the side of a children’s ward? Our regular photo of the day (potd) […]
FISHEYE: Brighter days ahead
I know, I know – you still hate winter, we still love icicles … but these guys won’t be along much longer, promise. 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: Light fare
While the delicious Italian flavours of Corso 32 on Jasper are appealing, the light show on the wall was also mesmerizing. There’s a lot to be said for a restaurant that doesn’t blind its patrons in halogen. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of […]
FISHEYE: Winter bites
Maybe it’s not your fault, but then again – are you sure you’ve been a completely good person? Are the gods punishing you for some tiny wrongdoing? Did you, for example, brush your teeth yesterday? Is that why it’s still WINTER? Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary […]
ART: Let’s make this place as interesting as possible
The difference between “world-class” peacocking and self-deprecation might be smaller than you think – going on about how great OR shitty Edmonton is happens around here with religious intensity and radio frequency. Both are often lazy and neither really solves any problems. But a change I’m enthused about is the evolution of honest discussion rising […]
FISHEYE: A long time ago, in a Galaxy far, far away
EPISODE XXII: Strange Coincidences Daring of the City to help build an AGA that looks so much like Darth Vader. Hopefully George Lucas won’t show up looking for residuals any time soon … Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life […]
