Smokehouse


Visited Ste Marie among the Hurons this weekend and was captivated by the light in the smokehouse. Love the tang of woodsmoke, and while in search of the 'perfect' feeling, it was amusing to listen to other tourists hollering "PETA! Argh!" in a holier-than-thou fashion.


I'm not at all sure about the accuracy of the reenactment, but if it is, then this is 16th century food processing and primary manufacturing of hides in Canada.

Objects are closer than they appear

Sporadic entries, I know. Howver, I have booked myself an exhibition space in August, and had better get up to speed. I honestly don't know where to start - but as I was browsing through the photos and pics that survived the demise of the ol' desktop, I found this. Epitomizes the city for me...all the energy is in the getting there and back again.
