16 Doors: A 3-Part Collection of Prints

One year ago I joked that the boredom of lockdown had lead me to start exploring locally again and subsequently photographing doors / entryways in my hometown of Medicine Hat, Alberta. Turns out May 2020 was a little soon to be getting bored. 

What followed was an entirely new "Hometown Series" and as a spinoff of that, "16 Doors". Today I've released the third and final print from that series - "16 Doors: Part 3", effectively completing a trilogy of prints featuring 48 unique doorways from around my hometown.

Each print in this collection is 8x10" and comes with your choice of a white or black frame (including a white matte) that measures 13x17". Each print is also hand-signed and stamped on the reverse. Availability is limited. Please contact for current details.

Below you will find each of the 3 prints and the specific locations featured in each.

Mount Rushmore in South Dakota

Nestled in the Black Hills of South Dakota, Mount Rushmore is an iconic American landmark that you have to see (preferably as part of a lengthy cross-country road trip) at least once. Carved between 1927-1941 by Gutzon Borglum and his son, Lincoln, Rushmore features 60 foot heads of Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.  

About the Old Jaguar

I first posted this anecdote / image to the @editingluke Instagram. 

This Jaguar XJ8 appeared in the background of a lot of my older shoots, particularly those shot around Alberta, and it actually impacted a lot of my early content on this site. 

Just to be clear, my midlife crisis started right out of university.

When I first started making a little bit of money out of school the first major purchase I made was this old Jaguar. After years of feeling broke all the time, I thought, "I can top this" lol.

The funny thing is, looking back now I don't regret any of it. The stories and experiences that came from being "overly optimistic" about those early post-uni days have already paid years of dividends.

To be clear - my point is not to buy a car that turns you into a part-time Jag mechanic - but that making the ordinary entertaining for yourself can actually change your life.

Yes, it was just a car - but it made we want to go places. It inspired me to explore for no reason at all, and then one day I started taking a camera with me.

Up until this point I had just been a film student - all video. I shot short films and promos and commercials. But my first travel shoots have their roots here.

All because of a car I liked to drive.

*FYI, you could say a lot has followed in the last decade.
