What an amazing site; love the color photos. Moved away from Winnipeg 16 years ago to Vancouver and thoroughly enjoyed looking at these beautiful photos. It gave me a lot of nostalgic feelings; keep up the great photography! Its nice to see a lot of the structures still standing; its too bad they aren't being utilized or given the respect they so richly deserve.
I'd like to know why some of the photos look like finely detailed paintings. Whatever they are, they're amazing. Great work!
I do a lot of post-processing on my photos, mostly with Photoshop.
Also, many of the photos use a technique called HDR (high dynamic range) which really brings out textures and details in the photos--the painterly effect that you mentioned results from this technique.
Hey Bryan. Very nice work and such a unique and romantic take on the city. Do you sell your work commercially? I think I've seen some of it in somewhere, maybe Destination Winnipeg brochures or something. Cheers.
Thanks Peter. I do sell prints. You can email me at bdscott74@gmail.com if you're interested.
It's possible you saw some of my work in Destination Winnipeg pieces; I entered a couple of pieces in their "Picture Winnipeg" contest a couple of years ago.
Really nice site here. I left Winnipeg many years ago, but I try to get back every year or two. You should get a Twitter account and send some images there too. All the best.
psst. have you ever taken a look at this blog: http://www.scoutingny.com/
Fantastic site. I want to come visit Winnipeg after viewing this. Winnipeg seems like such a strange exotic place. It looks like the time lines of the 19th, 20th and 21st Centuries are all bent out of shape; as though time has collapsed in on itself.
I heard Winnipeg is the Sleep Walking Capital of the World; 24% of the citizens have sleep walking issues.
Keep up the great work.
Oh wow. What a labour of love.
I remember as a little kid driving downtown with my Dad in the '50s and marvelling at the beautiful Edwardian city we lived in. Still intact at that time. Before the third raters got their hands on it.
Great photography; light, colour, TEXTURE. Eager to see what you'd do with the Winnipeg Clinic, the only one of my favourites I don't see here.
with appreciation,
Charles Murdoch
Hogtown
Thanks Charles.
Take another look, though:

hey bryan,
continued thanks for the posts!
thought you might find some interest in a few things i've noticed recently.
#1, kind of in the southwest 'quadrant' of the osborne & broadway intersection, close to the modern gwl building, it looks like there's an old rail track starting to emerge from the pavement, like a ghost of winnipeg's past showing himself.
#2, embedded in the back lane behind carlos & murphys, there is an old steel wheel from a car or wagon of some sort also emerging from the concrete. it looks like a manhole cover until you get up close.
I am so happy to have stumbled upon your site!
I love Winnipeg and feel like most of my fellow peggers don't share the same enthusiasim for it.
I wish that everyone in Winnipeg could visit your site because I think that it would make them forget about our harsh winters, short summers, swarms of mosquitoes, and crater like pot holes.
Your images are amazing and have lots of character, which I think is a perfect reflection of the city! Keep up the great work!
Thanks Merrybeth... Spread the word!
I just discovered your pictures on flickr and ultimately found your site. Your coverage of Winnipeg architecture is so exhaustive and your photography is so outstanding that you've made it very hard for other photographers to approach the subject! I especially love your platinum toned and through the viewfinder pix. Keep up the great work!
completely enjoyed my visit - stayed longer than I should have and will certainly be back! Great work! What do you shoot with?
Thanks L. Mostly a Pentax K10.
Hey,
I've been to Winnipeg several times for work. I liked it for how nice the people are but I fell in love with it when I started exploring the Exchange district.
I just wanted to let you know how great your blog is. Your photos are sharp and the posts are just as sharp pointers to learn more about the city. Love the old quotes widget on the left!
so glad to see you back, I absolutely love your pics. Keep up the amazing work. I hope to see your pictures in a gallery (hopefully achieved) one day.
I don't usually leave comments on things (one thing that I am trying to rectify), but your pictures are amazing. The lighting and angles and the capturing of urban decay is all spot on. I've seen alot of the places that you've taken pictures of, and it nails it perfectly.
One thing that really made me want to comment is your picture of the fence at La Barriere park....the one along the farmer's field across the foot bridge and past the near haunted forest (as I call it....we usually go in late fall). When we've been walking along there, we've never come across anyone else that's walking there too. Of course people eventually do walk along there, so it's nice to know who's doing it!
I've noticed that you haven't updated the site in awhile--please continue to do so.
i have a very strange relationship with winnipeg.... over the last few weeks of following your blog, i have actually been moved to tears by some of your photos. the beauty you show me in a place that's shown me so much ugliness can be overwhelming. i just wanted to thank you.
Wow, thanks Denys, that means a lot to me.
Love your pictures, like so many I moved away from Winnipeg and your site is a wonderful reminder of why I miss it so much. Thank you for making Winnipeg look so beautiful..it even makes me miss winter!
Magdalena: Complain all you won't, but kindly do not post advertisements in this space.
OMG...that just made me homesick!!! I love my hometown, and will always remember its glorious buildings and edgy attitude. LOVE your work. The one of Westminster Church really struck me hard, I lived in the house behind it with some roommates, it was such a great house. If ever you find yourself back there, take a photo? It was the 'priest's quarters' at one point, it was the coolest but creepiest house I've ever lived in.
I stumbled on this site a couple of years ago and bookmarked it right away. Before the arrival of kids, I used to love walking around the city photographing all the amazing architectural detail. I think your work is fantastic and I only just realized that you are also a Pentax shooter. Now I think you're even more awesome! I have a host of old Pentax film bodies and a K10D... love it.
Thanks May. I actually just picked up the K-7. I'm Loving it, but because of the cold I haven't been able to do any real shooting.... I have high hopes, though.
Very cool - how are you like the video on the K-7?
Also would like to get your ideas on a great public indoor location with lots of natural light that would be great for portraits. Thanks!
I'm liking the video--the quality is excellent. It's just a little impractical, though, to use an SLR as a video camera. Ergonomically, it just doesn't work for me.
As for indoor locations. nothing's really popping into my head right now...but if you're shooting informal portraits, any place with a window will do (I really love window-lit portraits).
Yes, the video feature on the DSLRs does not interest me at all. I've never been much into video though, just stills.
As for indoor location, I was thinking of the Red River College Princess campus or Millenium library (but concerned about the harsh shadows here). They would be for informal/candid kids portraits.
Hi there - just wanted to compliment you on your site. I moved away from Winnipeg 20 years ago - your photos make me miss my hometown after all these years. You definitely show the city in it's best light.
Thanks B.
Bryan, just wanted to know if you've used the PENTAX DA 10-17MM 3.5-4 ED FISHEYE lens before, and what your thoughts are on it. All my 35 mm wide angles are too "long" on the K10D. Thanks.
I haven't used that lens before, but was contemplating it for my next lens purchase. I'll probably end up going with the Sigma 10-20, though, because I love my 17-70 so much. Both lenses are fairly well reviewed, I believe.
I currently used the 16-50 mm on my K10D but find I would like something wider now and then. The 10-17 mm would be fun to try. I was actually contemplating the 12-24 mm but it overlaps with the 16-50 mm.
