Millstone project - April

Did a location scout along the Millstone River and around Bowen Park with Pietro Sammarco (https://pipposound.com) last weekend to record audio for Millstone project. Here are some photo studies from walking around with him while he was recording.

Millstone project - January

Shot the first test roll yesterday for Millstone project, and two more rolls today. These photos are from earlier this month.

Millstone project - December

Photo studies around Bowen Park. My plan is to start shooting tests on 16mm colour film in January.

I had taken a picture of a tree growing out and over the river back in November. I didn’t know that would be a “before” shot. Now there’s an “after” (post-atmospheric river) shot of it snapped off.

I wonder if that’s the same heron that I photographed in November?

Millstone River

I took some photos around the Millstone River and Bowen Park in Nanaimo after my project proposal to shoot make a film that documents one year of the Millstone was shortlisted for the Temporary Public Art Program. I found out that the project was picked to go ahead on November 16. The next day we had our second baby.
