this anti-cold weather, people photographer would have blown right by this scene faster than George W. Bush walking out of an Al Gore directed film.
My good friend William Anderson had recently introduced me to the work of San Francisco based photographer Michael Kenna. William had a black and white framed print of Kenna’s in his office, and I was intrigued by both the complexity and simplicity of it, the screaming metaphors of the unknown, of mystery, and in this time of bigger is grander ‘tableau’ era - the powerfully small size of it. I wanted to know more.
Anyway, fast-forward about 3 months. I’m sitting in an Earl’s restaurant on the west side of Edmonton, enjoying a ceasar salad, and between whistles of the hockey game on tv…reading an article on Kenna I had managed to track down.
