FISHEYE: Boomtown Bob

Bob Geldof was waiting around in the lobby of his downtown hotel this afternoon, and was gracious enough to consent to a photo. He’s down here in Austin, Texas at SXSW (South by Southwest Music + Film + Interactive Conference), doing a keynote panel yesterday lamenting the sorry state of our gadget-lusting culture. Our regular […]

FISHEYE: Photo of the Day

One of the nice things about flying out of Edmonton is your plane always gets a shower first, making it presentable for its trip. Our regular photo of the day (potd) feature from Fish Griwkowsky is a visual diary and memoir of his life in and out of the city.

The ghost of David Lynch haunts area artist

This is a weird one. A cold wind skated blindly up Whyte Avenue when David Lynch’s disembodied voice began suddenly explaining how such winds are his favourite sound. My pocket recorder was playing tricks; I’d taped Lynch live down in Hollywood between his screening of Eraserhead and Sunset Blvd a couple months ago, yet here […]
