FISHEYE: Old guts, old glory
Uh, those of you who left anything in your lockers on the west side of Vic School are slightly out of luck as it’s now a GUTTED RUIN. Kudos to management for keeping the beautiful facade alive, P.S. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir […]
FISHEYE: Ooh, my head
Years back, a song by the name of “Fish Heads” used to play on MuchMusic in its weirder rotations. But who knew actual fish heads could be found so cheap? These lonely days are finally at an end … Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and […]
FISHEYE: Pockets of low resistance
Without getting into a debate about how they you might spell them, the things my Slavic friends and I made and stuffed with various goodness we called perogies, and upon them soon laid dollops of sour cream and crispy bacon, eating them until our bellies hurt. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from […]
FISHEYE: Oh sure, you hate me now
You may not think so now, but at least some part of you will eventually miss the unintentional beauty of winter, creeping into every crack, running down every wall. 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.
ARTS: Greg Swain’s frighteningly interesting approach
Greg Swain’s two floors of windows are both lure and beacon.

But the artist is certainly one of […]
FISHEYE: A standout work of art
Here’s another red-cyan 3D for you, this one of the patient Pioneer Family standing behind the Royal Museum, created by Ole Holmsten. 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: Cloudy with a chance of landing
A seemingly endless, blank carpet of nothingness. You all know this as our overcast skies lately, and into it the returning traveller must plunge headlong – Edmonton from 20,000 feet and dropping. Neptune. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in and […]
FISHEYE: Photo of The Day
There is no age limit in either direction here at sxsw, though it would probably be pretty tough to be 350 years old unless you were a tree 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 […]
FILM AND MUSIC AT SXSW: Fish takes Austin up a notch
AUSTIN, TEXAS – Whatever doubts you have, stick them in a panty drawer. This sprawling creature called SXSW (South by Southwest Music + Film + Interactive Conference) may not be what it used to be, as the ultra-hip above us claim, but that’s kind of like saying sex is no good. It’s always up to […]
