IMPRESSIONS FOR 2027 - Julian's Charity Calendar

Impressions For 2027

The 2027 edition of Julian's Charity Calendar is now available at The Gallery. It featues a collection of 'impressionistic' photographs. The price of the calendar remains at $20 (includes GST)! As always, all profits from the sale of the calendar will be donated to a charity or equally worthy cause.

“All that we are is story. From the moment we are born to the time we continue on our spirit journey, we are involved in the creation of the story of our time here. It is what we arrive with. It is all we leave behind. We are not the things we accumulate. We are not the things we deem important. We are story. All of us. What comes to matter then is the creation of the best possible story we can while we’re here: you, me, us, together. When we can do that and we take the time to share those stories with each other, we get bigger inside, we see each other, we recognize our kinship - we change the world, one story at a time...”

The charity calendar has become a tradition for me as a creator, this being my twelth. It is also a challenge both creatively and logistically. When it goes to press I breathe a sigh of relief and when I see the printed results I usually feel a sense of pride and accomplishment, and almost always some misgivings about things I think I could have done better. But most of all, I hope that you, as a purchaser, enjoy the images and find some connection to my creative work.

Each year I get asked to provide information about the images included in calendars. In the past, I have never really got around to posting this information. I am going to try and make amends this go around. Below you will find the locations of each of the images and a brief description if applicable.

Front Cover

The front cover image of my 2027 Charity Calendar is a multiple exposure captures on my iPhone in McLennan, AB in the spring of 2025. While on a two week stint supervising dental students in a clinical setting I spent many after hours photographing the region. A very small railway museum houses a small collection of rolling stock and other artifacts. My lifelong fascination with trains always guides me to these locations. Peeling paint on aging equipment provides a rich source of shapes, colours and textures to photograph. This image is a visual interpretation of the peeling paint on the side of a passenger rail car. Some new gold paint endeavoured to hide the aging infrastructure to little avail. Peeling paint is a visible effect of the power of Mother Nature on man's creations. Perhaps a reversal of what we are typically consider to be the relationship of Mother Nature/Human interactions? I invite you to feel the dynamic effect in this multiple exposure image and interpret it as you will.

Enjoy the Calendar...
