About
Sheena Simonson
All the photographs in this book were taken in Wascana Centre between the Albert Memorial Bridge and the Broad Street Bridge, and most were taken within steps of the pedestrian trail that encircles the lake between these two bridges. Photographer Sheena Simonson trekked this four-kilometre circuit 82 times over three years to collect images of Wascana Lake and the nature surrounding it through all seasons. An estimated 328 kilometres of trail were covered in order to come up with the final 331 images that make up this book. Although on occasion Sheena had a specific shot she wanted to capture, most often she went to the lake and photographed what nature had to offer that day, keeping in mind that the best shot might be above, below, in front, behind, or beside her. Sometimes it was simply a matter of being in the right place at the right time in the right light.
