For those of you in Calgary... Please mark your calendars....
Urban Exposure Exhibit - Poverty in Our Community
Thursday, 03 June 2010 Time: 18:00 - 21:30
Location: Wallace Gallery, 500 5 Ave S.W.
Please accept my invitation to an exciting Calgary photography exhibition. I have been involved with the United Way of Calgary and Area for several months now, volunteering on a photo project aimed at raising awareness around poverty in the city. Urban Exposure has rented the Wallace Gallery on Thursday June 3, 2010, where my photographs from the project will be on display.
The photos I have taken for the project are property of the United Way, so I will be unable to post them here, or anywhere else. The only way to see them is at the event!

On Calgary growth and urban sprawl
--Daniel Bach for the Calgary Journal--
I’ve always been a curious citizen and witness to Calgary’s booming growth.
Recently, while combing through an archive of books and articles related to Calgary’s contemporary growth and development, looking for a work that would give me a sense of where the city is at today, I was instantly enthralled upon finding a book first published in 1974 to celebrate Calgary’s centenary the following year.
Calgary: a not too solemn look at Calgary’s first 100 years, written by Bob Shiels, a former University of Calgary professor and newspaper columnist, chronicles the city’s growth, from its beginnings as a tiny settlement along the banks of the bow, through the oil boom of the early 20th Century and into the massive refurbishment and infrastructure development years of the late ‘60s and ‘70s.
