This Town

“It all depends on how we look at things, and not how they are in themselves.” – Carl Jung

I grew up in Saint John, attended university here for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees, and now work in the city. However, I noticed that others in my generation here were eager t​o escape: escape the fog, escape the industry, escape the small scale, for something, bigger and better. 

​With this in mind, I wanted to use photography to encourage a new perspective on local landscapes and architectural elements. Some of the photographs simply capture familiar landmarks at a different angle, while others focus on bringing out the beauty in the city through the intensity of colours, or the mood of the scene. ​This Town was my first exhibit, and became an open love letter to the city. After viewing the photographs in this series, I hoped that viewers would leave with a renewed appreciation for this town.
