Snirt became a new word that refers to the blend of snow and dirt - gravel mixture. Snirt can be seen quite often in parking lots and along the side of roads and curbs. I guess you can say it’s not quite snow, not quite dirt, so it’s “Snirt." In This photograph I see a Dragon made from the snirt pile.

I know it’s weird, it was a few years back when I came across Snirt and the idea to start looking closer to this as it began to fill up the parking lots and one day I was walking through a lot on a fairly hot winter-spring type day and the sun was in the perfect spot to shine through the piles and edges of Snirt, which in turn turned these piles of gravel-dirt and plowed snow into a photograph that shined with colour and brightness.

When these piles and clumps of dirt begin to melt then freeze several times, they begin to take on so many different forms and textures. When one takes the time to lean down and look closely at these piles and small mountain...

I've been told that I can't tell a short story, so I have decided to let the lens speak for me instead. Born and raised in Southern Alberta, Canada I was fortunate to grow up near the Rockies. This gave me an appreciation of the land and inspired me to capture this emotion to share with others. Through my travels and experiences, I've come to appreciate the beauty of many different subjects. The wild, colourful, living or inanimate object, all have their beauty. My wish is to share their stories with you. JRC (Jor Cop)
