I managed to capture this shot on Christmas Eve, capturing the beautifully silvery hoarfrost blanketing the trees and using a long exposure to make the South Saskatchewan River look like a pane of glass to enable me to capture that pristine reflection of the Bessborough (Saskatoon's most iconic landmark).
This is available now, as prints, boxed canvases, and aluminum panel prints. If you wish to get one, you can find them here: https://www.markallardwill.com/merchandise

This January gone, I had the privilege of interviewing Saskatoon band, Elephant Seal, about their new album "Arrest Your Ascent".
They went through a big tragedy and this beautiful album was a catharsis. Please consider watching!

While I 100% support workers rights and the current Canada Post strike, I also want Christmas to happen for anyone who purchases from me. So, until Christmas this year, I will be sending any orders via third-party couriers. Links in comments.

@npub1qtz…4cf3 - I can't afford anything in 2024. But, if I could...

Hey, you, yes, you. Are you as excited about the release of the new film camera (yes, really), the Pentax 17, as I am?
Well, you should join me at the London Drugs on 8th St in Saskatoon on the 12th of October for a free event on both the Pentax 17 and half-frame photography.

I thoroughly appreciate you!

I had no idea the print shop and merchandise store on my website couldn't accept payments, and therefore couldn't make sales, due to Squarespace changing how they accept payments and not informing me of said change!
Anyway, it's fixed now.
Not only that, but I've added one of my favourite photos from my work on film too.
If you feel like checking it out, then thank you so much.

I've added prints, aluminum panels, and boxed canvases of some of my favourite photos from my film photography journey (so far) to the merch shop on my website!
If one of them speaks to you, it would mean a lot to me if you got one for adding some panache to your space.

Hey, Saskatoon. I'm hosting a free-to-attend workshop called "Demystifying Live Streaming" in the Tech department of London Drugs on 8th Street.
Great for anyone curious about video streaming.
