Shoot the Breeze: Jillian Anderson

Jillian Anderson is a 23-year-old server and Sociology graduate from Victoria, BC. Her photography is predominately nature/landscape work, documenting the dreamscape coast of British Columbia on a disposable camera or Pentax film SLR. For anyone who grew up or visited Victoria BC, these photos should evoke some Group-of-Seven-type of emotional experience. I hope someone gives Jillian a book deal.  – CM

1. Why do you take photos?
Because I love art and images. I just enjoy looking at nice things, whether they’re my photos or someone else’s.

2. Do you carry your camera with you everywhere you go?
If I think I’ll have an opportunity to take a good photo, then yes. If I’m going somewhere outdoors I often do bring a camera.
