Nothing But The BLUES

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.

Artists: Mandy van Leeuwen, Jennifer Johnson

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

“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.

Artist(s): Rodrigo Pradel, Brian Gasenzer — Artists: Rodrigo Pradel, Brian Gasenzer

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!

Photo by Sherrie Yager I was focused at the task on hand.

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

I Knew I Wasn’t Drunk!

285 Smith Street

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!
