Echo Industries / C.W.Armstrong
Winner of the Royal Architectural Institutes's 2015 architectural photography competition (Alberta Chapter). A residing photographer of the Edmonton Folk Music Festival, a guest photographer for David Suzuki’s Blue Dot Tour, a junior photographer at the UP+DT Festival, and a featured photographer by the Edmonton Journal, Essence Magazine, Where Edmonton, Opalus Magazine, and Glass Buffalo Literary Magazine. Currently holding a shelf at TIX on the Square (thanks to the Edmonton Arts Council), occasionally holding a table at the Royal Bison, and periodically holding wallspace at the lovely Harcourt House Gallery. Bless...them...all.

Blog at will! It's great when a photograph gets a life of its own. And, well, I'm from the Napster generation...(please link back/give credit).
.
I adhere to a line of thinking that's been well-put by Fish Griwkowsky: "If it's not satire...don't be a f**king PARROT." I'm a huge fan of artistic integrity...which has been steeped in a city that has an issue with copying (and sometime flat-out hijacking) the works of others. For this reason, I tend to block people whose photos remind me of my own. Sorry for any offence...(but if for some reason you can't see my photos anymore, consider yourself warned).

Photos are still printed on extremely archival, museum-grade paper, with a tear from a small child being randomly placed on photos depicting rampant consumerism or excessive lifestyles. Odds: 1:5
