Around the Hat: A Medicine Hat, Alberta Photo Series

After launching in 2012, the Around the Hat photography series of Medicine Hat, Alberta has now grown to well over 5000 images within over two hundred unique photo sets.

Over the years I've updated the highlight reel for my hometown series as it has continued to grow, evolve, and reach more and more people. Have a look at this latest showcase below and explore more from the Around the Hat collection here.

On 2nd Teaser

The story of a main street, its evolution, and some of the people behind its recent revival is a compelling subject to explore. I set out to do just that with On 2nd, a brand new documentary short about the first block of 2nd Street in downtown Medicine Hat, Alberta. The project is set to release later this year on Editing Luke.

Featuring a handful of local business owners, On 2nd focuses on some of the strides that have been made in the last 5 (or so) years that have seen the street transform dramatically. Challenges certainly remain, but some of the achievements that have been made on this block may surprise you. Shooting for On 2nd is still underway, however the teaser can now be viewed above.
 

Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park

Located in the prairie grasslands of the Milk River valley, Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park is home to one of the most spectacular landscapes in Alberta. Featuring hoodoos, extensive trails, and epic vistas of sandstone monuments, Writing-on-Stone is noted for having the largest concentration of First Nation petroglyphs (rock carvings) on the North American plains.
