Feature Writing

When Passion Becomes Reality

Occasionally a story comes along that catches a writer/photographer’s imagination and he or she just can’t let it go. This was the case with the piece about building the lock gates for the historic Rideau Canal. I was delighted when Wooden Boat asked me to contribute the story for the March/April 2024 edition. I was glad editor Tom Jackson saw the potential in it even though the relationship of gate building to boat building might have been a bit tenuous at first glance. For anyone who sees the creative process as being all-encompassing, this story is one you should read and take as a lesson in the creative mind. Art doesn’t always have to be “fine art.”
