George Webber, the photographer/author of books on Hutterites (A World Within), natives (People of the Blood) and the last days of Calgary s sleazy now-demolished downtown taverns (Last Call), has now turned his lens toward what many feel is his finest work, a portrait of the real Calgary as it approaches, then passes, the 1 million mark. In his own words, Calgary is always becoming something else, moving on, moving up, moving out, making room for something new, breaking your heart in little ways. But perhaps there is something here that no amount of steel and glass and asphalt can conceal. These pictures make me hungry for the way the city was.
