Alright, I thank you all for checking out what I hope to be many entries here. A couple weeks ago, I had a feature assignment to do, and I decided to cover the first, ‘Winter Light Festival,’ a multi-event celebrating winter as one of the most prominent seasons in Edmonton.  Though it was required to take photos, I did anyways and I got a few decent shots out of it. The festival’s lantern coordinator, Dylan Toymaker, told me in an interview that nearly everything in the displays are eco-friendly, such as the high-density, but low-powered, LED lightning, or the recycle film canisters. Here are a few shots of his work.

“This is our first year and we’re really experimenting with what winter in Edmonton can be and with what kind of activities that Edmontonians will enjoy,” —QUOTE Pamela Anthony, Program Director.

“Starting off something off in this day and age without making something friendly for the environment is just a waste of time in my opinion.” —QUOTE Dylan Toymaker, Lateran Coordinator.

“Were having a great time discovering that more Edmontonians than you can imagine have been waiting for a chance to enjoy winter.” —QUOTE Pamela Anthony, Program Director.
