August 2011

Do I have your attention? Great! That's right. If you book any photography with Jamey M. Photography from September 1 to September 30, I will give you 50% off the applicable advertised rate.

Better known as the Molson Brewery, the former Sick's Brewery building was constructed in 1913, and, surviving prohibition, continued to brew for the folks of Edmonton as Molson's until it's closure in August 2007 on the heels on a workers' strike.

In my previous post, "Goodbye, and Hello Newfoundland! - Part 1", I said a solemn late goodbye to my grandparents, and then took you through my adventures on the west coast of Newfoundland, visiting my parents' respective hometowns of Englee and Roddickton, my own hometown of Corner Brook, and some other stops along the way. The next part of my return to Newfoundland took me to the east coast and my university city of St. John's.

While I certainly don't hide my heritage, I don't necessarily wear it across my forehead. So, many of you may be surprised to know that I grew up in Newfoundland. I wasn't born there. Nor do I live there now. But from the ages of seven to 24, I called myself a Newfoundlander.

I've come to enjoy walking the High-Level bridge in Edmonton in the evenings when I'm feeling pensive.

Meet little Russel, and his human Lindsay.
