Stan Douglas' Pursuit, Fear, Catastrophe: Ruskin, B.C. (1992), a portfolio of ten photographs installed for a long time on the fourth floor of the Vancouver Art Gallery, where I used to visit it religiously every Thursday night. Pictures #8 and #9, in particular, are directly responsible for making me think about picking up a camera, however far removed they might seem from my pictures of street debris and my manky old car. There is a pretty great Robert Linsley painting, also of Ruskin, a small community on the north side of the Fraser River about an hour's drive east of Vancouver, permanently installed above the bookstore's till.
