2015. A year in review for Keri Coles Photography.

ByKeri Coles

I had a couple incredibly brilliant work trips this year: a ship tour with Greenpeace and a trip to Paris to cover the UN Climate Conference. In contrast to some years past, it was a fairly uplifting year to be doing environmental work in Canada (Shell pulled out of the Arctic, Canada got a new government, Northern Gateway was killed, and the Paris Climate talks are being lauded by most as a success). We aren’t used to celebrating this much!     I was on the Greenpeace ship for about six weeks, with half the time dedicated to an action…

Camping on the valley floor next to a picturesque sheep farm surrounded by huge rugged mountains made the festival all the more magical. Empire of the Sun Smashing his guitar like a…

Celebrating the Life of George Tidball

ByKeri Coles

Celebrating the life of a legend. George was a good friend and business partner of my father. He passed away on June 3rd. A moving celebration of life was held at Thunderbird to honour his life and accomplishments. Everyone’s eyes were misty when the riderless horse came into the ring, led by George’s grandson. George, you are one in a billion. Your legacy is inspiring, profound, and far-reaching.
