Gallery

The Digital Salvage image collection is a visual anthology of random moments—captured in the raw, unexpected intersections of the world. Here, you’ll find not just landscapes and objects, but fleeting instances of time, chance encounters, and strange details that spark new ideas and possibilities. Each photo or image holds the energy of the unknown, the chaotic beauty of life unfolding in unpredictable ways. These moments are as much about the spaces between as the subjects themselves—suggesting that inspiration can be found in the most unanticipated places. From the isolated wilderness to the buzzing hum of technology, from moments of stillness to flashes of digital brilliance, this collection reflects the spontaneity and creativity that flow from both the natural and the artificial world.

You don’t enter these diners—you return to them. Even if it’s your first time. Fluorescent light softens. Coffee refills itself. The staff doesn’t change, only shifts. These places are stitched together with decades. Outside, everything’s different. Inside, nothing ever really left.

Old School Diner

In a Winnipeg diner, down on Henderson Highway, where time forgets to hurry, stories steep like old coffee.

A figure halts the stream of image—momentarily. Not to block it, but to hold it, to be shaped by it. Projection meets person, and neither stays the same. Shadows don’t erase light; they reveal where it lands.

Held in Light

A silhouette meets a projection at Urban Shaman, where story and shadow converge Bathed in projected light, the silhouette becomes a moving part of the

They gather beneath giants—paint, steel, and silence pressing down like weather. Here, they are not exhibits but echoes, resisting the stillness with their own weight of being. This is not interruption. This is grounding. A reminder that presence is also a kind of art.

Under the Gaze of Giants

In a quiet alcove beneath towering canvases, a small group of youth sit cross-legged, whispering between museum murmurs. Their presence, casual and at ease, contrasts the grandiosity of the gallery.

$Each fracture finds its place. Each piece, once discarded, now holds position in something greater. This mosaic doesn’t erase what’s broken—it listens to it, arranges it, builds a compass out of the scattered. To stand at its center is to feel the world pulling gently toward wholeness.$

Centering the Fragments

A compass mosaic of shattered pieces, reassembled with intention and grace. Laid into the stone floor like a secret map, the mosaic catches the light

Smoke traces the shape of what we won’t say aloud. Time slips between drags, between stories told sideways. The cold doesn’t bite—it clarifies. Here, outside sanctioned architecture, the body remembers its edge. And in the blur of smoke and breath, truth flickers briefly—then vanishes.

Smoke Break, Truth Break

The sidewalk becomes a threshold—between class and conversation, between performance and pause. Smokers linger in the hush before reentry, clustered in quiet familiarity.

Art on Campus

Inside a corridor built for function, time folds. Artists unfurl memory onto tables, turning concrete into ceremony.

We walk not just forward but inward—through a corridor lined with knowing. Each carving, a pause. Each sculpture, a signal. The visible vault glows ahead, but the path matters too: lined with memory, with meeting, with the kind of learning that sinks deeper than words ever could.

Toward the Vault

The corridor outside the gift shop hums with quiet reverence.

A scoop becomes a witness. The swirl is not dessert—it is doctrine, layered with pixel-static and the soft surrender of vanilla in fluorescence. Forty-six thousand five hundred fourteen eyes have seen it, but none tasted the same myth twice. The cone, pinned to the wall like a saint. Cold sugar, eternal return. A bite taken in Elmwood ripples into the archive of glances, archived now in memory, now in metadata. Art lives here—not in frames, but in freezers, in marker-signed mandates, in the quiet sermon of soft-serve melting into ritual.

Soft Serve Frequencies

The cold hum spills sideways across time, tasting like the absence of plans. A cone dissolves before it’s named. Somewhere between ketchup packet and ceiling tile, the sacred forgets itself. A chair is a chair is a chair is a shrine. The fries pray quietly. Kindness echoes in fluorescent.

This project reflects Tony's dedication and hard work. From the initial meetings to the careful curation and exhibition, every step was a personal journey of learning. Through black and white photography, Tony has shared a story that honors the process, capturing moments of growth and reflection from start to finish.

The Story Behind It

Winnipeg in Black and White is more than a photo essay—it’s a quiet act of reclamation through attention, patience, and trust.

Through Winnipeg in Black and White, I’ve explored the hidden stories of the city, capturing moments where light, shadow, and silence reveal deeper connections to place. This series, shaped by both photography and digital editing, invites viewers to reflect on the urban landscape from an Indigenous youth perspective.

City Seen, City Felt

Through this project, I sought to explore the spaces that make up Winnipeg—not as fixed landmarks but as living, breathing parts of a shared experience.
