Drive this way. #weareoca #nonplace #identity #highway #autoroute #gfx50sii #gf23mm #gatineau
No, I didn't shoot this today. It was cold, but not the -20C we had this morning. And yes, it's a whole lotta white. #wearoca #hasselblad #mediumformat #selfportrait #winter #canada #aylmer #gatineau #awholelotofwhite
Walk this way. #weareoca #nonplace #identity #parking #gfx50sii #gf23mm
