Run I say, run like the wind!


It's no secret, I'm a city guy. With the Calgary Stampede fast approaching so is my desire to run. I'm sorry but Cowboys make me nervous. Maybe its the historical intolerance... maybe its the narrow set eyes, the big ears and bad teeth...maybe its just because I can't get the sound of banjos out of my head...or maybe its just the moustaches. I have never seen so many straight men brandishing Freddy Mercury moustaches before moving here. Its seems very odd to me...

So when I was considering what aspects of Calgary I wanted to capture before moving on, I guess it's not surprising that somewhere in my desire to photograph the beautiful rolling prairie landscape my subconscious inserted a running figure.


Model, Rebecca Li literally ran all over the countryside braving rainstorms, and mosquito swarms to help Odessa and I realize our concept of fashion in motion. Thanks Rebecca, you were a great sport!

Odessa, inspired by wild roses, styled Rebecca all in vintage reds from Cat's Eye. It was
brilliant.









Jason Traicheff put together some amazing hairstyles out of the back of our jeep and MUA Kesar Lacroix make up was fabulous at making Rebecca's beautiful look pop from a distance.








This was another successful shoot, with a talented fun team...and a rainbow.
