Never Alone: Portraits of Labrador

BY Geoff Goodyear

May 2017

“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.

Seeing Through Glass, Plastic and Ice

BY Matthew Hollett

When I signed up for my first photography class in art school, my dad rummaged around in the basement and placed a heavy leather case in my hands. I unbuckled it to find his old 35mm camera, a Zenit EM. It had an enormous dent above the lens, as if it had deflected a bullet, and its selenium light meter, mysteriously, did not require batteries.

Scavenged art

BY Ellen Curtis

WHEN PEOPLE COME to me after seeing my art, and I get to use found material, they might bring me broken things or stuff that’s been kicking around their house, and then I get to make something out of that.
