The Last Keepers, pt. 1

During the second semester of school, I am doing bi-weekly reporting through the Loyalist College student run newspaper, The Pioneer. This week, I got a chance to meet a really cool guy in Belleville named Roger Boomhower. Meeting and chatting with him has given me an idea for a project to occupy my time waiting for the snow to melt  so I can finally jump on my skateboard again.

The Last Keepers aims to document the final few pigeon keepers in and around the Belleville area. Through word of mouth myself and two colleagues have managed to get a hold of three of these guys and get the project off the ground. This is the first profile style article I have written on these guys, keep your eyes open for a few more of these photo stories to come in the next few weeks!
