Empty Canal plus more

Over the weekend the canals were drained. Some construction has been taking place as they sit dormant of water. I took a few minutes out of my Saturday schedule to explore the canal outside the studio. I found some interesting things, as seen below.

You never really see fish laying in the canal, but mussels and these little characters. I found a hermit crab, which I didnt know lived in the canals. It seems there is a thriving eco-system that lies underneath the flowing water.

X Marks the spot...

This little questionable creature has been dubbed, Roger the Canal Creature. It had pre-historic qualities about it and made for an interesting subject to photograph.

The two most common objects I see in the canals when they are drained are drivers licenses and shopping carts. However, in front of the playground there are a number of bikes. It begs to question, are the bikes evidence of theft? And, if so, is it related to kids stealing them to ride to the park? I have never seen so many bikes in one spot. And to put any stereotypical debate a side, there were no cars, no bodies, not bones, corpses, just rusted out bikes and shopping cars.

Installation by Dean Nimmer

From August till now our studio has been very busy. We have increased our work load by a substantial amount. We have been shooting senior portraits and have been enjoying it very much. This work load includes the Exhibitions at Open Square.

Tonight I did a set of portraits of a car and its owner.
