LOCAL PHOTOGRAPHERS SHOW PORCUPINE LAKE IN ALL ITS’ BEAUTY
DARCY PERRON GALLERY
Darcy is an avid outdoorsman, photographer and lifelong resident of the Porcupine. Darcy has kindly allowed the Friends of the Porcupine River Watershed to showcase some of his photos of Porcupine Lake and the wildlife that inhabit the area. As you can see, Darcy has the ability to capture Porcupine Lake in all its beauty.
Unfortunately, over the years, the lake has been the victim of too many sewage overflows and inadequate city infrastructure. The Friends of the Porcupine River Watershed are determined to save the lake and the surrounding watershed. Check out Darcy’s gallery HERE
ANDREW WARREN GALLERY
Andrew is a Northern Ontario based graphic designer and photographer who is proud to call Porcupine home and fortunate to live close to Porcupine Lake where he enjoys spending time walking and photographing the changing seasons along it’s shore and exploring the river and other lakes in the area it is a part of. “I spent my younger years living in Ottawa before moving to Timmins in my early teens and clearly remember exploring the lake on my first visit to Timmins and marveling at how wild and natural it was compared to the more developed areas I knew down south. I enjoy it just as much now 40 years later as I did that day and firmly believe our community should do as much to preserve and protect it as possible” Check out Andrews Gallery HERE
Pekka Tuohimaa Gallery
Pekka is a lfe long resident of the Porcupine where he raised his son whom now lives in North Bay as a Correctional Officer. In 1986 Pekka retired from the trucking industry, got back into the workforce in 2006 as a limo and coach driver. Pekka did that for 10 years on a part time basis. Photography has been Pekka’s passion for many years and loves taking photos around Porcupine Lake. Pekka keeps very fit by walking 24 kilometers daily (yes, you read that right) and its during those walks he takes many of his photos. Pekka not only takes pictures of the beautiful wildlife around the lake but goes one step further and photographs the ugliness of littered items that are dumped or left behind in our watershed.
