I shot this mural of the history of North American Lumber twice within a 1 month period… trees green, and trees not green.
It was originally painted in 2000.
It was a challenge to capture.

“American Woman” was a huge hit, and “The Guess Who” was from Winnipeg. That was before Lenny Kravitz gave it new breath.
Not an official video, but I adore it. It is of the time.
This mural by Larry Rich graces an outer wall of the “Long and McQuade” store in Winnipeg. Here’s the rest of it.
Pictured above is Chad Allen who was the singer before Burton Cummings.
Aaand here’s Burton!
Who are these other Players?
Here’s Lenny’s version.

It was cold, very cold. Nonetheless, Sherrie took me muralling in the Rocket.
This mural is located in the rear of the Vita Health store at 102 Osborne St.
Sherrie, my official driver & photographer, was taking pics of me taking pics. It’s all so very glamorous!
An early experience with graf and car reflecion.
Ew! Is that a bug?
Tagging is rare in Winnipeg, but a black door in a Graf Mural is a target….
…and what’s that neat green fringe emanating from the rear-view mirror?
Uch, then Sherrie caught me making an asp out of myself when I went in for the shot
Ahh, look at this! It was worth it!
Then there was FreshMarket shot.
Then the mood shot …
Of course Sherrie captured me capturing the mood.
Here’s the rest

MURAL OF THE YEAR 2003
I felt dizzy …. woozy and I knew I wasn’t drunk.
I suddenly realized it was the horizon. I used my zoom, and reeled the area in. It was a building painted on a building, The St. Regis Hotel – 1911. The sky line was insane.
There was construction pounding at the base of the building and a jammed half-block long parking lot. So I went back on a Sunday.
Amazing!

I wish I had better pics, but the relentlessly blinding prairie sun was out in full force.
These murals are at 1812 Main Street.
In 1877 Western Canada’s first locomotive, The Countess of Dufferin, arrives by barge in Winnipeg.
