So, I am on my way to a mall when the radio station starts ranting about “some nut-job” in armor riding a horse through the city. I immediately turn around and start heading back to see if I can spot him. Sure enough CTV had just flagged him down so I ran and snapped my picture. Turns out his name is Vincent Gabrriel Kirouusac and in his words , “I’m crossing Canada on horse and I’m doing this to sensitize people to honour and friendship and valour. I’m trying to help people when I see them. I’m trying to give people a hand and bring a dream in their lives”.
It strikes me that we live in a society where it is trendy to hang pretty plaques on walls with quotes about dreaming and”dancing like no-one is watching” and “following your bliss” BUT when someone actually does these things we call them a “nut-job”
BOHEMIAN Bohemian n, adj (person) leading an unconventional life.
I love photography. It can speak for me. Taking pictures allows me to communicate where words and proper punctuation fail me. It captures something I want to save and treasure. Perhaps I was able to see something others were not...magical. I am a mother of two strange and wonderful children, guardian of a ridiculous cat, a small tribe of squirrels and a posse of possums. I love anything unique and creative, a firm believer that art exists to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable. I love to make anything, sewing, painting, home renos, art journaling and of course photography. I am thankful for my blogs as an outlet and I am truly pleased that you have taken the time to read a little bit about me, I hope one or two of my pictures makes you smile.
