This month in... Alberta Oil magazine: Vern Blinn

I photographed Vern at his home in Duncan, BC last month for Alberta Oil Magazine. He was a terrific subject with no shortage of stories from his time working the rigs. Read the article and see how his hobby to pass the time in the oil field developed into an obsession for fabricating accurate, detailed reproductions, and brought him to the attention of the Smithsonian.
