week 6

for most of the week we worked on the fishten website, first we tried to create it via squarespace. the software seemed to be very bullheaded, because it didn‘t obey at all. maybe, we just couldn‘t figure it out. anyway, nadja started to do the coding in dreamweaver and sometimes became a bit desperate. giles took us to combine and karo and they gave us an interesting introduction as to how they work. thanks dwayne and jason for taking your time, we appreciate that. also kelly and giles told us a lot about their work and design philosophy. we really share their attitude. on friday the well-known stampede started and of course we had to take part in this special event! like typical tourists, we bought some cowboyboots and went to the grounds. it was quiet similar to the „oktoberfest“ in munich, just skip the bavarians and replace them by cowboys! we had a lot of fun and a new favorite song: „save a horse, ride a cowboy“. but finally we rode our horses (not any cowoys!!!) to toronto!

week 5

finally, we reached calgary and moved in with our new chiefs. we were coordially received and thrilled by our own luxury rooms. kelly, who is running hartman design studio took us to an amazing big photoshoot. after two days, spending time on the set, our task changed. we started to come up with some concept ideas for the new fishten website, a design studio, also headed by kelly and her husband giles. they create fantastic work for different art galleries. besides working, the sled island festival filled our time with some great concerts. thanks, emrys, for the free entrance tickets!!! if we were canadians, we would vote you for president!
