It’s been a year since I left the north. Scroll below to see posts and galleries of pictures from Kangirsuk, Nunavik. Since leaving the north, I’ve done a lot of art work. Anyone interested could click here to see a gallery of imaginary works and a few memories. Every week I also post creative writing texts on two sites. Dreaming Man, or The River Felt She Wanted Salt, is inspired by the classic dream text, Finnegans Wake, by James Joyce. Club Morono is a nonsensical, humor site. I also occasionally post pictures about things happening in Montreal.

Hello to the people of Kangirsuk. I miss you. It was nice living in Nunavik for six years and teaching school. In June 2009, Caribou Man moved from Kangirsuk to Montreal, where he has been sited, on several occasions, reading a book in various libraries, making radio broadcasts and whooping it up from one situation to the next, taking plenty of pictures and inventing stories along the way.

The camera helps me stop to appreciate people, shapes and colors along the way. Don’t look back. No time for regret. Keep going.

He generously made time available to open the gym to the public several times a week for sports, such as floor hockey and volley ball and for weekly music jam sessions. Each year he organized Inuit games at Sautjuit School, and was active in many events and activities. Dave Lane is returning to university to do a Masters Degree. It was a sad parting. Dave cried all the way from Kangirsuk to Kuujjuaq.
