A REAL "IRL" EXPERIENCE WITH PEI'S FIRST INSTAMEET /  by Sean Berrigan

HILL FLARE

On Sunday a group of 30+ Instagramers ascended upon a small hidden gem of a location within the eastern end of PEI called Mooney's Pond. For the first time, an event of this kind has taken place on PEI, taking inspiration from bigger city IG meetups like in Toronto, and New York. It's interesting how Instagram and social media has made it so easy to feel like you really know someone by what they share online. It's even more interesting when you get an opportunity to gather a community of like minded individuals together to network and get up to something creative. It was truly amazing to see such a great crowd of people show up and bare the cold and snow to trek through some awesome trails and fire of some flares and smoke grenades..for the gram along the way :)

Special thanks to The Morell River Management Co-op for allowing us to host the event there and to our friends at Receiver Coffee Co for hooking all the attendees up with free drip coffee for the hike.

Cape Tryon.. A location on PEI that doesn't feel like PEI. /  by Sean Berrigan

Every time we have gone to PEI, Vanessa has really bugged me about visiting nice spots around the Island. On our 6th trip to PEI, we decided to take a road trip at golden hour with two other talented photographers, my friend Jeremy Vessey and my younger brother Patrick Berrigan (links to their websites). We drove with the windows down and took the scenic route, stopping to take some photos of foxes, that just posed for us for 20 minutes. We didn't have a zoom lens, but Vanessa was able to get two feet away from these little babies and they seemed happy to be putting on a photoshoot. We got to Cape Tryon, cracked open some ciders and enjoyed the sunset. We took a lot of photos, got the drone up in the air and it was truly inspiring. I've been meaning to shoot more tourism stuff as I really believe telling stories will make people want to visit this beautiful Island. It's crazy to think that so many people go living without exploring what this beautiful place has to offer and I'm really proud to call it my hometown.

Farewell to the legendary Honest Ed's /  by Sean Berrigan

We recently stopped into the final farewell art event commemorating the end to the legendary Honest Ed's building here in Toronto, named after the great American/Canadian businessman philanthropist Ed Mirvish. A group of volunteers by the name of Toronto For Everyone pulled together an incredible example of how strong our creative community is here in Toronto. The environment created, showcased the art instillations in a non-stop maze of visual stimulation. I can't say I remember many of the artists who had their art on display but I hope they find these photos somehow. Enjoy.
