Since February, I've had the privilege of working with PARK (Promoting Artists; Redefining Kulture) as a volunteer marketing coordinator. It has been a lot of hard work and late nights, but I have honestly loved every minute of it. I love the PARK team and the fact that the work I do for them actually challenges me and helps me grow. Everyone on the team also kills it fashion-wise and it's really made me realize that I need to step up my game.
Last Saturday we put on our first huge event of the year - PARKSHOW, an art and fashion show intended to showcase up-and-coming designers from Canada as well as a local artist. The location for the show was Chinook Centre's North Parkade. We literally spent 24 hours converting the vast, empty space into a beautiful venue with an art tunnel, runway, pop-up shops, and a VIP lounge. It was crazy. I'm so proud I got to be part of it.
As part of my duties for the event I got to take some pictures - to see the whole set, click HERE.
From Mount Norquay, we made an impromptu trip to Lake Minnewanka just in time to catch the next tour boat. We opted to sit on the deck of the boat. One of the operators told us that the last people to sit outside only lasted twenty minutes before surrendering to the cold; the views were so great, however, we became oblivious to the chilling wind, darting back and forth to capture every single stunning sight of the lake and the mountains. We made a quick stop at Two Jack Lake after the tour to scope out a forest. Chris, Ernest, and I then made a detour, pulling over to the side of the highway for a quick trek and some last photos of the day. After a lovely dinner at Communitea in Canmore, we finally headed back to Calgary. It's amazing how much you can get out of a day when you're with a group of really amazing people who are down for anything.
The crew: Chris Amat, Shan Fredrickson, Ernest Hon, Vian Esterhuizen, and Katelyn Strang

Sometimes a day is so good you want to remember every part that made it that way. We left Calgary at 5:00am in hopes of catching a good sunrise in Banff. Although it didn't pan out quite the way we wanted, the early start opened up many opportunities. After a quick stop in town for breakfast, we set out to Vermilion Lakes, where our ideas got a little more wild. From there we set off to Mount Norquay. The fog at the top of the mountain was so heavy the view was nowhere to be found, but the ethereal quality helped create some beautiful portraits. We stopped in the tea house to warm up, eat, and have some great conversations before descending down the mountain in search of more adventure.
Stay tuned for part two!
I met up with some fellow Calgary photographers after work for some drinks and exploring. The Centre Street Bridge was discovered to have some really amazing light after the sun set.
