Lisa Jones is a photographer who, by her own admission, prefers moody and overcast days for her photography because of the atmosphere it imbues on her nostalgic subject matter—old and abandoned homesteads.
It was a brooding and stormy day several weeks ago when Jones set out with her fiancé in her SUV, heading southeast from their home in Calgary, hoping to capture a three-in-one convergence: a storm, an abandoned homestead, and a sunny-yellow canola field all rolled into one shot.
