Today I came across the May/June issue of Boulevard magazine, a free magazine here in Victoria. Each year, Boulevard holds a contest – Photo By – and selects a few winning photos. This year, I had one of the six winning photos. It’s an old photo, taken in 2008 during sheep round-ups in Iceland.
A reporter from the magazine did a phone interview with me, so now I have a full-page tearsheet to show. It should be noted that I didn’t take the photo of myself (that’s the small black-and-white one, in case you were wondering); it was taken by my classmate Yulia Olshanova.
So, if you want, you can grab a copy somewhere in Victoria. Or read the scanned version right here.
Oh, and by the way, there are a few facts which the reporter didn’t get right. For instance, I never said that Iceland had declared bankruptcy, in fact I’m pretty sure I told him it had not gone bankrupt. And we didn’t decide to come to Victoria after the banks at home collapsed, but before they did – we decided to stick to our plan regardless. But I guess facts must never get in the way of a good story, so I guess I won’t bitch and moan about this ever again.
