Newfoundland author and Man-Booker Prize nominee, Lisa Moore, wrote in a recent article in the Globe and Mail that her favourite reading spot is in her car and being read to by her daughter, Eva, while on long highway trips in Newfoundland. We shot this photo to accompany Ms. Moore's story.

Greg Hawco is a musician and composer from Newfoundland who now lives in Toronto like so many other Newfoundlanders. When we think of Newfoundlanders migrating for work we usually just think of trades people headed to Alberta but at this years Sound Symposium it didn't take much research to see how many great musicians and artists Newfoundland has given Canada and the world.

Sound Symposium is where we cornered Hawco and told him about our documentary film, Exit Zero, currently in production. He was premiering a piece at Petro Canada Hall and graciously agreed to compose the score for our film.You can find his work on Republic of Doyle which is currently shooting its second season on the streets of St. John's.

Sound Symposium, the international festival of new music and sound art that happens in St. John's Newfoundland once every two years has wrapped up after 10 days of amazing performances of contemporary classical, jazz, improv, folk, world and experimental new music. There were concerts, theatre, workshops and sound sculptures exploring and celebrating sound in all its forms.

We are still editing the thousands of photos and hours of video we shot over the last 10 days but there is a photo gallery at the Sound Symposium site we maintained on a daily basis. Do check it out!

Well, it's been a crazy few weeks. We have done everything from an archival photo restoration project to visiting the bowels of a offshore oil rig. Now we're headed across the island  working on the never ending Exit Zero documentary film project. So, before we take off I'll leave you with this shot of the Stella Burry Community Services building at Rawlings Cross in St. John's which we shot for a multimedia presentation at the Newfoundland Historic Trust Southcott Awards which are being held Tuesday night at The Newman Wine Vaults in St. John's.

Last week OIL, a photographic exhibition by Edward Burtynsky opened at The Rooms. In my opinion, this is the best photography exhibit ever put on display at The Rooms and I encourage you to go see it. His work spans more than 10 years and looks at a broad scope of the oil industry and its attendant industrialization.  My favourite is his photographs of the ship breaker in Chittagong, Bangladesh. Mr. Burtynsky's large prints are a pleasure to view after becoming accustomed to the small mediums of print and now online.

CBC Online producer Kathryn King has put together a feature at CBC-NL about the exhibit with some of Mr. Burtynsky's photos, an interview by Weekend AM's Angela Antle and she was kind enough to recognize my work in the Newfoundland offshore oil industry by including a gallery of my photos with my perspective of Newfoundland's fledgling oil industry.

I'm not sure what Mr. Burntynsky would think of having his work along side mine but I was honoured to be asked to contribute to the online feature. I'm told Mr. Burtynsky tried to get offshore ...but no luck.
