Welcome to North of 54 Gallery, photography by G.B. Reid.

I was born on Sept. 3, 1938 in a small prairie town by the name of Abernathy, Sask. This was 9 miles from where I grew up on a farm and went to school in a small town by the name of Balcarres, Sask. This is where I spent the first 19 years of my life and then moved north to Flin Flon, Man. In 1957, in search of a job and to make my fortune in the mines. This was going to be a short stay so I decided to buy my first camera for a whole $68.00 which was a Minolta A. This is where my love for photography began, from learning how to make an exposure, then to dark room work, a correspondence course from NYI and over 30 years as a member of PPOC, PPOM and PPOS. During my association, I was exposed to many conventions and seminars, also worked for an established photographer for 8 years doing weddings. My good wife Darlene and I operated our own business from 1974–2002, approximately 28 years. I am basically a self taught individual and over the years, I have been fortunate to pursue my love of photography. I am very grateful that I have had the opportunity to learn the wet process and have lived long enough to have been able to move into the digital world. The images that I display on this web site will range from images that I took years ago until the present day. I hope you enjoy viewing as much as I have had, making them. I feel privileged to be able to share my work with you. Thank you.
