Oot and Aboot

I was in Banff and Calgary from August 10-22 for Harris' film shoot. It was a steady crew of 14 working 12+ hr days.
I got fed by the lovely Sandy Richer, who was our mom for the 12 days.

I got to ride on a horse, drive a 16' cube truck (about 200 feet, no biggie), see a calf tranquilized, got licked by 3 calves, rode in the miata, and learned how to hold a rifle... all important things, indeed.

Unfortunately my camera decided to break on me, that's 3 digital cameras I've broken. Perhaps I should take a break and not get anything nice/expensive until i learn how to take better care of things.

FORTUNATELY, Bea took lots of photos.

Voila:


Banff, Alberta, Canada. BEAUTIFUL, ay?


Warner Stables in Banff. The actors and the horses


Our Christmas card this year. (Jon & I)


The 16' Cube truck we drove back and forth everyday listening to Lite 96. (I'm hanging off the back)

a beautiful sunset.



Jon taught me how to hold a rifle. what a guy!


Wow. Kevin, Jon, Me & a horse's ass.


a sweet dog that was MASSIVE and MUDDY. It loved to be pet, and when it wanted to lay down, it would bend his hind legs, then PLOP, he would come down with a thud. It was amazing.


Bea (one of the producers) & I. They got us confused. Do you see any resemblance?


Sean (producer) & Me.


and I end with another amazing night shot. You should've seen it in person. and when it was completely dark, you could see a million more stars. Some were shooting. One looked like Mars. Breathtaking.
