Never Alone: Portraits of Labrador

“The guitar is an Epiphone Nighthawk. Got this one in Toronto when we were out for a soiree. We were playing at the foot of the CN Tower for two weeks and went to Steve’s Music in Toronto. Saw the guitar and had to have it. It had a curly maple top and the price was right, so it came home with me.

Every time I pick up a guitar is a proud moment for me. The guitar is a never ending friend for me, and I am never alone. It makes me relaxed. It’s good for my soul.”

The Tamarack Camera Club has partnered with the Labrador Institute on a photography project called The Humans of Labrador. Some of these photos will be published here as Portraits of Labrador. The series was launched with this photo by John Graham.
