St. Patrick's Church Interior: Stained Glass

The stained glass windows of St. Patrick's church are pretty incredible, and frankly, this is one photo set where the images truly speak for themselves.  

Around the Hat Feedback

In creating a now 2000+ image series of my hometown, I'm starting to really think about what I want to do with it when I wrap shooting at the end of 2013. I think a photo book of some kind would be amazing, and I'd love to do an exhibition or find other unique ways of promoting the collection. There are a lot of options, but I'd love to know what you think and what you might like to see!

I've put together a short survey that takes less than 2 minutes to complete and is an easy way for you to share your thoughts on Around the Hat. Your feedback is vital to my project, and your opinions could really shape how this photo series expands and eventually concludes. I can't tell you how much I'd appreciate it if you'd take a couple minutes and answer a few questions here. 

Thank you for continuing to share this experience with me, and stay tuned for a ton of new photo sets as the year rolls on!

Cypress Club Interior: Poker & Snooker

The upstairs of Medicine Hat's Cypress Club features more stunning details, most notably the poker and snooker tables. Both of these antiques seem especially noteworthy as they really lend themselves to the image of gentlemen shooting the breeze and bantering about issues of the day. With the table top off of the poker table you can even see cigarette / cigar burns on the wood, which I felt just emphasized the mystique behind the history here. 

Similar to the lounge and boardroom, the upstairs is scattered with treasures. A large moose head hangs on the far side of the snooker table room, an old artillery shell is used as a door stop, and the upper level of the staircase features framed images of all of the club's presidents. In short, it's a beautifully maintained, historically captivating, and well appointed space.
