By Jo-Anne Procter To see the world through a lens wasn’t really on Riley Anderson’s radar until he came across an ad on Kijji that he couldn’t pass up. It was for a Nikon D7100 SLR camera. Anderson upped his game from phone photography to digital photography through watching YouTube videos and self taught him- self an art of capturing beautiful landscapes. The 22 year-old engineering student of Rosser stumbled into pho- tography as a hobby just over a year ago, when he started using his photography to highlight what a beautiful province we live. “I like being outside and I like seeing nice places, it (photography) is just a way to capture those moments for me,” he said. Anderson started sharing some of his photos on his personal insta- gram account and realized not everyone was as interested in seeing all of his landscape photos, so he created riley.anderson.photo on instagram. Since doing so, Explore Manitoba (72.6K followers) and Explore Canada (1.3M followers) have requested and showcased some of his work on their accounts gaining Anderson exposure he never imagined. On Nov. 22, Anderson displayed some of his work at Cowboys in Winnipeg hosted by RAW, an organization that provides up-and- coming artists of all creative realms with the tools, resources and ex- posure needed to inspire and cultivate creativity so that they might be seen, heard and loved. Being his fi rst show, Anderson knew going in that it isn’t easy to sell landscape photos, but was happy with the experience. “If somebody had a landmark that is important to them, I would be interested in trying to capture that in an interesting way.” To view Anderson’s work log on to his website www.rileyanderson- TRIBUNE PHOTO BY JO-ANNE PROCTER photo.com or his instagram account riley.anderson.photo.

By Natasha Tersigni For Linda Furness walking through the doors of her family home was an opportunity to take a step back in time. The home, located just south of Stonewall on Road 74N, has been in her family since it was fi rst built by her father in 1916. The opportunity to return home to the farm just weeks before she celebrated her 100th birth- day was a precious early present. The adage home is where the heart cannot be truer for Linda as the four walls of the house encapsulate count- less memories and experiences. Lin- da, or Annette Lindsay Matheson as identifi ed on her birth certifi cate, was born at home on a wintery prairie night, Jan. 12, 1919. “I was born at home as that was the custom back then. The doctor who de- livered me was Dr. McLeod, whose son was Stonewall’s Victoria Cross re- cipient Alan McLeod,” said Linda who added that it wasn’t until the 1950s when women delivered at the hospi- tal in Stonewall. “My third daughter Judy was born in TRIBUNE PHOTOS BY NATASHA TERSIGNI Linda graduated from Stonewall 1955 and she was the second baby that Linda Furness recently returned to the house she grew up in and high school. was delivered there.” reminisced on her century of life.
