MIKE DEAL / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Poet Duncan Mercredi, photographed outside at the point where the Red River and the Assiniboine River meet with a white backdrop. During the coronavirus pandemic, rather than asking the subjects to head to our studio, we decided to bring the studio to them and set it up outside to emphasize social distancing and safety. 200413 - Monday, April 13, 2020.
