Basil’s

Painted in 1991, this mural has weathered 23 brutal Winnipeg winters, and the vicious sun of 23 prairie summers.

Long, wide and quite far back to get the high up for this amateur photographer, but finding this airplane is a sweet memory.

It’s at 168 Higgins, and it’s so real Sherrie and I drove by the first time without a second glance. We got it the second time around.

Now Think

Sherrie and I had a really fun lunch at the “Hard Rock Cafe” then head out to grab a few murals in the hood.

Now #1

You gotta love this one at “Now” magazine HQ’s!

Now #2

NXNE is not the artist, it’s a music, film, interactive and comedy festival.

Now #3

Now #11

It’s a hard one to shoot. It’s just so big & high, and I had a hard time finding focal points.

So I decided to be as crazy as the mural!
