Spring Slush

Calgary weather has a large impact on our styles. With the record snowfall this spring, snow removal crews struggled to keep up. We became very familiar with the term "soaker" just by walking down a city sidewalk or getting out of our cars.

"Christine" was sportin' the perfect remedy to the "soaker" the other day when I saw her. She was well put together in her Houndstooth rubber boots and all black, from sleek hair to ankle socks. She purchased her boots from Target during her last trip South. Rumours have it that Target is coming to Canada.

Bird in a Hat

I photograph a lot of weddings...
I don't usually expect to see really stylin' guests at them, however, my expectations are starting to change.

When I walked into the reception for Mike and Rita's wedding last weekend, I was pleasantly surprised to see "Irena" sporting a very stylin' hat and outfit.

Irena informed me she got most of her outfit locally. Her hat she got from Italy, but would not tell me more about it. I guess girls have the right to some secrets.

St. Caffeine

I first met Richard at Purple Perk on 4th St.
Richard, a.k.a. ... St.Caffeine, is a regular there and always has a coffee in his hand.
You might also see him on 4th Street playing his Sax and entertaining passer-byers.

Richard works for I-Stock Photo where he critiques hundreds of photos a day and decides if they're up to snuff for the international market.

I first noticed Richard at Purple Perk because, everyday, he's sportin' a different funky outfit. Richard's not a shy guy, so when he noticed me working on photos on my laptop at the 'Perk', he had no problem asking me what I shoot, and who I shoot for. I had actually ran the idea of this blog by Richard to see what he thought. With his encouragement, this is now "Wear It's At".
Thanks R.
