A snap from a rainy day in October. Mid-pandemic.

Miles above Kearney Lake | WOOD + PHOTO III

(Click image to purchase. $250)

This is another piece in my current WOOD + PHOTO III show at Dark Horse Espresso Bar in Toronto.

A typical day at Kearney Lake includes several swims, some paddling, the occasional evening fishing trip, lots of book-reading, consistent meal preparing, and  deep forest exploring. 

The photograph in this piece was shot from a bush plane. Here is a hand-drawn map of the familiar parts of the lake:

Where the Bonnechere starts

It was a weekend well spent, at the mouth of the Bonnechere River.

In the middle of Ontario somewhere between Barry's Bay and Pembroke, a group of friends got together to share core-warming meals and wood panelled quarters.

A beautiful hand built cedar strip canoe hosted live book readings and chartered quiet lake tours, while a single shotgun and a box of clay pigeons provided loud cracks and complimentary cheers.

Many a fishing line was cast, but not a fish came in from the lake. 

Here are a few photos:

Portrait by the lake

This family likes to smile - and it is contagious! This is the second (and hopefully not the last) portrait that I've taken of them. 

Thank you, Jonah, Genevieve, Bella and baby Jacob for a happy evening by the lake.
