Filming With the Medicine Hat Fire Department

Earlier this summer I shot a short public service video with the Medicine Hat Fire Department about river safety on the South Saskatchewan. If I'm honest, the real incentive behind taking on this project was getting out on the river to enjoy the views of the cliffs around Police Point, under the bridges, and down to Echo Dale. The views of Medicine Hat, Alberta from the South Saskatchewan River really are pretty spectacular.

Wandering Around Louisville, Kentucky

A day at the races in an iconic setting, a slugger like no other, and even a little moonshine - here are a few visual highlights from my exploration of Louisville, Kentucky.

100 Year Old General Hospital Postcard

This vintage postcard of the former General Hospital in Medicine Hat, Alberta was mailed over a century ago on August 13, 1914 to Wyoming, Ontario - a small town near Sarnia in the south of the province. The message handwritten on the back of the postcard confirms that this person was making their way across Canada on the train that summer.

The postcard reads: "Having a fine time. Wish you were along. Will leave here for Calgary this afternoon and from Calgary to Vancouver."

The postcard really was the text message of its day, and this one would've made the journey back east on the railway. I can only imagine what a different journey that would've been to take 100 years ago. The general hospital on this postcard has long since been demolished, however when it was built it was noted for being the first civilian hospital west of Winnipeg in 1889.
