I just returned from my third and final [for now] trip to Saskatoon. I drove there in early January to deliver the prints for the Procession West show to the Saskatchewan Craft Council Gallery. Then I made a second trip in late January to attend the reception. Our show was taken down last weekend and this time I had to pick up the four crates full of prints and bring them back home. My brother in law Shawn was in Saskatoon visiting his girlfriend and he gave me a hand this morning to load the crates into my truck. We also got together for a visit and a few drinks on Sunday night. Today I made the long drive back home. I had hoped to be able to stop along the way and take a few photographs, but it was not to be. It was moderately cold, for this time of year and there was a really brisk wind blowing that made conditions rather uncomfortable.
I did have lunch today with Zach Hauser. Zach was on the jury at Saskatchewan Craft Council that accepted our show and I met him at the reception. He is a former professional photographer that has now put photography aside to pursue a retirement career in artisan furniture building. I bought some film holders and some paper from him and it was a very pleasant visit this afternoon.
It seems March has come in like a lion so hopefully the old saying holds true and it goes out like a lamb. It was -17C this morning when I went out to start my truck in Saskatoon. Here in Edmonton we are supposed to have similar conditions for the next few days. Night time lows approaching -20C and daytime highs only around -10C. This is far below the long term average for this time of year. Hopefully once we limp through this current cold snap things will turn around and we will see a gradual transition into spring weather.
