It’s been six months since my last post, and at least two months since my last road trip in search of the abandoned. It has definitely been too long. Work schedules are the problem, well, not for the lack of posting but for the lack of road trips. My wife and I are no longer on the same schedule so we haven’t’ been able to get out together and it’s a joint vice of ours. She enjoys wandering down the backroads and I enjoy the hunt of things long lost. There are so very many amazing places to photograph in this Province, I have but scratched the surface. Full-time work, Freelance jobs and side projects have kept me busy the rest of the time. I have 7 clients of varying frequencies from once a year to almost monthly. It’s nice to keep busy.
I continue to research Ghost Towns in Alberta and have begun to make my own list of finds as we stumble upon them. Perhaps some day I will make a book on them all, there hasn’t been an updated book on them since the 80’s, at least none that I’ve been able to find. That would be a dream job for sure… or is it dream project? Either way it would be nice to get paid to travel around Alberta (or all of Canada for that matter), taking pictures and writing down the history and story of these amazing places of the past. So if anyone is reading this that has any pull with any publishers give me a call and maybe my dream job could become reality.
