“The more love you have for a person, the stronger you do it.”
When thinking about my ongoing Tiny House History series (of which we are really making up based on a bit of criteria including lessons gained, sustainability of dwelling, actual realistic occupancy, etc) and then thinking about the month of December and the winter season in general I was almost miffed at where to take this

Geraldine Moodie was western Canada's first professional woman photographer, running successful studios in Alberta and Saskatchewan in the 1890s, where she became well known for her portrait photography. Geraldine's husband Douglas was a senior officer of the North-West Mounted Police. When Douglas was assigned to establish a NWMP detachment in Fullerton Harbour, on the western shore of Hudson's Bay, Geraldine accompanied him and brought her photographic equipment. The two Moodies were an inspired and complementary pair; she set up a studio in the police detachment house and took intimate portraits of the local Inuit community, while he (trained in photography by his wife) documented the landscape and his work with the Mounted Police. “Words cannot describe this wonderful coast, apparantly (apparently) devoid of everything that goes to make a land attractive, it still has a grandeur and beauty all its own,” Geraldine wrote in her diary. “The whole sea and land as far as the eye can see lends itself to inspire ghostly imaginations, nothing but snow & the sea in an unbroken expanse of ice and snow. In the sunshine it is beautiful, but at night it looks uncanny, the northern light shifting and changing all the time.” Geraldine also wrote of improving her technique while photographing the Arctic. “There has always been such a glare of snow with nothing to relieve that it gave no definition when photographed, and made a poor negative. I tried it under every condition of light, and finally found by stopping my lens very low and taking the photo when the afternoon sun was very bright, throwing strong shadows that I succeeded in getting a fine negative.” Inuit women and children at summer camp, Fullerton Harbour, Nunavut, August 1906.

Museum quality Sculpture! Fantastic Movement! This rare and beautifully crafted 15" Drum Dancing Bear by Etidloie Adla is stunning. Etidloie is the brother of internationally regarded bear artist Ashevak Adla. The rich dark stone is kissed by undulating veins of light green which amplify Phillip's ample curves. Often the drum and baton are carved using bone, but Etidloie has chosen to use the same beautiful stone for these pieces. Inukshuk is carved on the drum. Phil is the quintessential Dorset Dancing bear with a perk. He Drums and he Dances. Drum Dancers are an essential element of Inuit culture. They sing about the history of the Inuit. and they teach the ways of Inuit life. In a culture with little written documentation of their history. the songs and dance ARE crucial. Phil is a magnificent sculpture that will be adored by collectors and those who love one of a kind bear carvings. PROUDLY CANADIAN SINCE 2007 We promise to send you only good things
