photoXplorers Story in Globe and Mail
Unfortunately the link is dead, so I cannot link to it. Nor did I manage to copy the text to reprint here. But we were all interviewed by Daniel Baird for the Globe. The story ran on October 31st and was the biggest and best promo the show got. Russell got a photo on the top of the front page, while we all got our pix included with the story.
While I do not remember the entire story, the last line stuck with me:
“This show will appeal to the discerning television watcher looking for something different. It may not be for everyone, but neither is Grey’s Anatomy.”

Better than the CanWest story that called us “nerdy, talkative and average-looking”!
photoXplorers in Starweek
With the show launching on Thursday November 5th, it was really cool to see this writeup in Starweek. Apparently we are their pick for Thursday, the show to watch.
Here is what they had to say:
This new series follows a daring group of photographers as they put their day jobs on hiatus and travel the world to capture the eerie beauty of forgotten industrial megastructures, castles and sanitoriums. The series kicks off as the band of guerilla photographers investigate and abandoned 1860s coal mine in Belgium.
