When I moved to Fernie, BC in 2002 I had no plans to make it my home and certainly no idea I would one day meet my wife and raise children there ( Yep, Children! There is another on the way in March! )
7 years on I am still there, well kind of, I’m on a brief hiatus in Ontario to get some schooling done, but consider the family to be away from “Home”. I miss Fernie a lot these days. It’s that time of year. As the demolition derby approaches people start talking about the coming of winter. The stoke starts to build and everyone gets a little giddy. Nevermind that winter is still more then 90 sleeps away, the countdown begins. However, If you spend your summers in Fernie you know it’s really the time to be in town!
Before leaving town in the spring I cut a little tribute to my friends and family in the town I call home and entitled it just that. “Home”. It’s been on the site for awhile now, but I thought it time to feature it and write some words about my favourite place. I also scanned a couple of old prints. They aren’t amazing photos, just some that brought back some great memories for me.
Enjoy!

I’ve barely had my video camera out since we moved to Miyazaki and I feel slightly guilty. It’s just too hard to film when the surf’s so good, and all you want to do is be in the water yourself.
I’ve only managed to grab a few shaky shots, not really much to write home about, [...]

What director Anthony Bonello and crew find in 2010 is an aesthetically beautiful [...]
