“Photography records the gamut of feelings written on the human face, the beauty of the earth and skies that man has inherited, and the wealth and confusion man has created. It is a major force in explaining man to man.” - Edward Steichen

Eastern Manitoba is a photographer's haven.

If you are a passionate photographer who can make the images talk, then this is the place to be. Close your eyes and hear the pounding buffalo hooves across the vast Manitoban prairie, and visualize the early settlers coming to this region to mark new beginnings. Capture the ‘echoes and legends' of Eastern Manitoba in your camera lenses through the historic sites.

Arrest the intoxicating beauty of the forest, lakes, rivers, native wildlife and the friendly local people through your photos and videos. Capture the museums, farmers' markets, festivals, people, celebrations and events during your visit to Eastern Manitoba and take back fond memories of a vacation well spent.

Share your pictures with us, we would like to see your masterpieces expressing the wide open spaces, reflections of the past, golden grains, prairies, farm lands, blue skies, scenic rivers and more.
