Rugged Up

Knowing I was going out into -6C to shoot Graf, My friend Carolyn advised me to “rug up”!

I knew there was a bicycle mural here, but I was beyond elated to find much more!

I don’t want to give it all away just now, so let me work on picking the pics.

Or go ask Alice what I have for you … I think she’ll know!

The Murals Of Winnipeg

Poem © Resa McConaghy

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!
