When an old friend invited me out to his cabin on Lake Winnipeg the week between Christmas and New Year, when the College where I work as a librarian is closed, I jumped at the chance. Even though it looked like a great opportunity to just relax, I couldn’t stop myself from scouting potential photo ops online. That’s when I came across pictures of wonderfully colourful and singular fishing huts that sit out on the lake in winter. Immediately I began to think of a creating a series of images of those fishing huts. I know it’s been done before, but it still sounded to me like a great project.
