FISHEYE: Here sits Les More….
This is our new friend, Les, master of the paradox in Dawson City, Yukon. To his former girlfriend he asked, “Do you want more or do you want Les?” He subsequently told us this story several dozen times. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir […]
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: 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 […]
FISHEYE: Broken dreams
Abandoned like a dropped turnip in the window of a wedding dress store on 97th Street, this display takes the idea of giving away your hand in marriage a little too severely. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in and out […]
FISHEYE: Taking away the moments that make up a dull day
This handless clock on the downtown post office is a great example of unintended, beautiful public art. Because it reminds us of time, but doesn’t limit us by it, and we can just appreciate the metal sculpture for its beauty. What does a clock with no hands tell us? To take it easy, for starters. […]
FISHEYE: Egg-cellent question
Why are these pink eggs on sale at Lucky 97 in Chinatown? Was it some sort of Easter thing? Cultural? Sometimes a mystery is more fun than finding out, so we’ll let you decide. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in […]
