This is a photo of a photo hanging in the Torquay Seniors Hall, It was taken well over 25 years ago. Long before I came around, of when life on on the prairies were difficult yet simple. Long before the day's of digital cameras, GPS guided tractors, abandoned branch-lines and computers. The only goal was to survive and pass the knowledge of survival onto the next generation. That way of life is is fading fast; where you can trust your neighbor, fix your own car and so forth.. It is passing unnoticed as far as I am concerned.

When I walk into these buildings, as they themselves slowly become unused, it makes me think as too what will forgotten, when it's all gone, I ain't going to let that happen if I can help it. I've got the technology, after all, today's snapshot is tomorrow's historical Image.

Torquay has only two elevators and no Imperial Oil anymore. All across Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta, and B.C. images like this exist, to serve only the memory of those who were there, and those who were there become fewer by the day.
