Clergue's Phoenix....Ian Agawa and Superior whitefish

10/21/2014

0 Comments

 
Last week Andrew and cinematographer Curtis Petersen took to Lake Superior, filming Ojibwa fisher captain Ian Agawa as he worked his whitefish nets. A small craft, physical work, a family's life and calling, the great elements of water and sky - all captured in one afternoon on majestic Batchewana Bay.

Ian's catch is destined for Mill Market, where he sells fish to a Sault community that has embraced its twice-weekly hustle and bustle as a city meeting place. As many as 5000 people pass through the Market on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The parallels are as profound as they are inescapable - the traditional Ojibwa people's gatherings along the St. Mary's River every autumn to catch whitefish, and the 21st century Agawa selling his fish on the same spot. Ian and his family are one of many Phoenix elements that we hope will inspire imagination, and what might yet be.


The glorious autumn has other, subtle joys. A favourite Japanese maple at Bryan's place...
