Take roses from my garden,
Cherries from my cake,
Take all the many kisses that
With a magic moon I’d make…
But don’t dare you the heart
On my garage door break!

Realism in the streets.
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.

1914 – Charlie Chaplin stayed in this hotel, which is now a scum bucket.
I did a Post on the mural of Charlie Chaplin that resides in the parking lot.
It is a special building with special murals.
Do you think the harmonica player depicted above is Junior Wells?
B.B. King
Robert Johnson
It’s nothing but the blues!
I was fortunate to shoot this “paper doll” of Charlie Chaplin on a balcony, but it was almost a storm when I did. His effigy had blown over.

This 16 year old mural on Henderson Hi-way is on the side wall of Roxy Lanes, a bowling alley.
It’s scarred, peeling & crumbling from the brutal winters. It’s constantly bleaching under the intense prairie sun. I love it.
I took these shots over a year ago. I wonder what it looks like now?

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
