Saskatchewan Grain Elevators: Part 2

A continuation of my photo series featuring wooden grain elevators in Saskatchewan.

Sunset Dinner / Sunshine Skillet 2014

A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of shooting the photography and video for the Sunset Dinner in participation with the 2014 Sunshine Skillet Food Festival. The event was presented by the Alberta Culinary Tourism Alliance and featured a five course meal with each course prepared by a renowned chef.

Participants in the Sunset Dinner were Chef Ray McGuire from Desert Blume Golf Club, Chef Boonying Khumdha from THAI Orchid Room, Chef Ben Cherrett from Connaught Golf Club, Chef Pierre Lamielle from Top Chef Canada Season 4, and Chef Karine Moulin from Hotel Arts and Top Chef Canada Season 4. 

The joy of shoots like this is that the artistry that goes into preparing each course provides stunning visuals to work with. The colours, smells, and lively conversation made the event really entertaining and engaging. I was constantly switching between cameras to capture highlights throughout the evening, and I'm really excited to have the photography and video from this event go public shortly. Here are a few photo highlights from the night - video to follow soon.

Morse, Saskatchewan Grain Elevators

After the great response I got to the first part of my grain elevator photo set I went searching for a few images that I remembered shooting years ago. These two shots of the grain elevators in Morse, Saskatchewan are from October 2005, and the reason that I wanted to find them is that both elevators have since been demolished. I found a video that someone posted of one them collapsing, which can be viewed below. It just goes to prove my point that these wooden icons of the prairie are becoming history.
