Writings on the wall

POSTED December 17, 2009 BY Brock Mitchell

This past weekend, we at CIA spent some time at the infamous Market Collective in Kensington asking people what their thoughts were on our amazing city. Allowing everyone to share with one another, what makes Calgary so awesome.


Thank you so much to Nicole-Irene Dyck for shooting this massive photo. Please take a look at her work, www.wordsarecameras.com, and see that she definitely does more than shoot photos of wall drawings. She’s an amazing woman with a unique gift, and am so happy she was willing to help us out.

A ginormous thank you goes to Angela Dione and Angel Guerra for allowing us to be a part of the Market Collective. These two women are doing things so great for this city, and for that they are what truly makes Calgary awesome. Angel and Angela, you will always be amazing friends.

Thank you so much to everyone who participated in this project with us. Make sure to visit www.marketcollective.ca to keep in touch with this spell bounding event.
