British Columbia: People, Places, Landmarks
The telling of the story of any given place is often times, incomplete without addressing the human component of its history. BC is home to a wide, diverse array of people from all over the globe- all finding opportunity and a draw to the same beautiful province for one reason or another. From small indigenous nations, to long-standing fur trading posts, British Columbia harbors a mosaic of history like no other. In my short time spent in this place, I have tried my best to capture it all.
