This week a Photography double header: I chat with marketing director, photographer and friend, Evelyn Drake. The Camera Store is putting on a 2 day show. He Said/She Said and The Camera Store Staff Exhibition. I got to take a quick peek at how the show came together and what makes the store, its employees, and its role in Calgary so unique. The Opening Night is Feb 7, from 6-10. The headliners Julian and Bianca Ferreira are doing a talk Feb 8 at 10 am. And then the gallery closes in the afternoon on the 8th. Don't miss this. It will be a great opportunity to see the creativity and passion behind the counters that makes the space so unique.

Thanks to Alberta Podcast Network, powered by ATB Financial. They've provided me great support and connection to other Albertan podcasters like It's a Conspiracy Theory. Andrew, Charlie, and Greg post their investigative conversations delving into the REAL matters at hand. And for other great podcasting content check out the APN at www.albertapodcastnetwork.com

The APN is proudly powered by ATB Financial and The Branch, their clubhouse, arts venue, and financial institution for creatives and cultural workers here in Alberta. Here in Calgary, they have an amazing location right on Stephen Ave on 1 st sw, looking up at the Calgary Tower. They are also sponsoring my favourite local art month Exposure Photography Festival right here in Calgary. Imagine, a whole month of incredible photography, exhibitions, talks, meet and greets, and hopefully generally warmer weather. If you don’t know about it, you need to check out The Fence. ATB is everywhere art is in the city and I’ve become grateful for all their tireless efforts to keep creativity growing here in the city.
