Marvin Garriott, owner of Marv's Classic Soda Shop in Black Diamond, Alberta.
UPDATE: I am happy to announce that today the photo above has been chosen as an iStockphoto Hot Shots image. I am so happy to have finally produced an image that was deemed worthy enough for such an honor. Very exciting day.
I had the pleasure of photographing Marvin Garriott recently. Marv owns, operates, and is the founder of Marv’s Classic Soda Shop, which is located in the small town of Black Diamond, south of Calgary. His shop was one of three locations set for RetroLypse, an iStock contributor-run photography event. This post is part 1 of a bunch that I will post with images created during the event.
His shop sells a plethora of old style nostalgic candy and also serves ice cream treats from recipes found in vintage soda books. Marv is a true class act and was a great pleasure to photograph. Full of character and style, he is also one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. If you’re ever in the area, go visit his shop and say Hello.
