Final shot in the Val Marie image series. I haven't included any people in the other shots, but this one is entirely about people. That's the wonderful Madonna Hamel in the centre, in costume after giving a performance of her one-woman show, The Apron Pocket Archives. The other people are our friends and neighbours. I know each of them, to varying degrees. Some work for the national park; others are longtime residents, mostly ranchers and farmers. Ervin Carlier, Sr., at the far left, has won a raffle prize, a chapbook of the show Mado has just performed, with her related collages in addition to the dialogue.
This was the November before our first covid year. Not a mask in sight. Community events here are always well attended, and as usual everyone had a good time.
Some people recoil at the idea of using the apron as a theme. The first notion that comes to mind is the 1950s happy suburban housewife, aproned and dusting a lamp, or maybe the Playboy-like sexy frilly aproned "girl" we would see in magazine ads of the day. The apron as symbol of repression or male domination. This isn't what the performance was about. For homesteading women on the prairie, the apron was - and remains - an essential piece of gear, as important as the cowboy's hat. That was the grounding premise of her presentation.
From the chapbook:
"Madonna Hamel is a writer-broadcaster, performer and collagist. As both singer and monologist, she has toured throughout North America and Europe. Her latest monologue - a series of stories pulled from apron pockets - explores the lives of settler and Métis women on the prairie...
"Her work blends journalism, memoirs, shared stories, radio interviews and documentaries. Her documentary on Lhasa de Sela won World's Best Radio Arts Documentary at the New York Radio Festival in 2010.
"She holds a degree in Literature of the American South from University of Victoria and a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Emily Carr Institute of Art & Design"
No dull moments around here. Well, maybe a few.

the island at the park community is at the outdoors of outside of more stunned and amazing of the outdoors need is looking sharp of the good weather
Sometimes you get yourself into a situation that is hard to get out of. We were on a small island off the coast of Portugal and we could see numerous birds on a shoal in the distance. To get a better look we ventured down a road that I am sure was never meant for vehicles and that got increasingly more narrow the further we went. Fearing we would have to back out the entire distance we started looking for a place to turn. When there was an opening, the beach sand was soft and sure to get us stuck. We eventually found a small spot where we could maneuver, get the car turned around and make our way back. We never did get a closer look at the birds. The only other vehicles we saw were bikes and motor bikes. I am sure the locals thought we were nuts!

I tried….the man with the ladder would not move beyond the spot….
Nice small downtown area with shops and restaurants
So I was challenged to take more photographs of strangers, then Ly Wylde emailed me and said I should take photographs of pillars of my community. Weirdly, I had thought of doing something similar months ago so thank you Ly for re-igniting that idea!
I have decided to take photographs of the proprietors of shops in our local community. We live about a 2 minute walk from 20 or so individual businesses and I'd really like to photograph them in their shops/businesses as they normally are.
I was a bit nervous with this first one. I explained what I was doing and he was more than happy for me to take his picture, but looking at it now I wish he was holding a rabbit or a cleaver or something. Anyway I think he looks proud and territorial which is good. He is our local butcher and has been there for years. Definitely a pillar of our community.
One of ten stained glass windows Chateau Community Church is located outside of Linkwood, Maryland on Chateau road. No one is sure where the name Chateau came from (which the locals pronounce “ Chat-tall”) but at one time there was a small community there by that name.
The Chateau Church is a Greek Revival frame church built the year following the close of the Civil War. The temple-front structure repeats an architectural form popular throughout the Delmarva peninsula during the second quarter of the nineteenth century. The 1866 church is well kept up and a single story church hall was added to the west side a few decades ago
The membership is down to twelve so it may have problems staying alive in the next few years. Naturally with a church over 150 years old there are stories about members that would fill a book. The stories range from when a member did some preaching on Easter Sunday and return to his seat and dropped dead to when in 1959 the Methodist conference tried to sell the church due to reduced membership. The conference locked the doors and would not let the members in, The church members held their services outside on the church parking lot until finally they had a locksmith open the church doors and change the locks and they took back their church and dropped being in the Methodist conference. Today it is an independent church.

I am still mulling over whether I like the bottom right hand corner or not. I fiddled with it since my last print. I also added a chop of my initials and year, at the top, a nod to Japanese brush painting, as this lino is on rice paper. #Flickr Friday # Community

Living together in harmony does not require us to look the same, think the same or act the same - in fact we can benefit greatly from rubbing up against people who are different. But without love nothing works.
