Rick O’Brien – No Place Like Home in Newfoundland & Labrador
Occupation: Photographer
Place of Birth: Toronto, ON; pregnancy complications; but at 3 months of age swiftly returned home to St. John’s, NL to be raised by my huge and loving Newfoundland family; hope I still qualify as a Newfoundlander! 😉
Currently Resides: Toronto, ON
Where’s your favourite place in Newfoundland & Labrador to grab a coffee?
My Nan’s house for a cup of tea.
Where’s your favourite place in Newfoundland & Labrador to grab a pint?
The Duke followed closely by the Ship Inn...
Where’s your favourite place to shop in Newfoundland & Labrador?
Home on Water Street (Pete & Don are the best!)
What's the one meal you miss the most when you're away?
Nudding better than a good Jiggs Dinner; or if I wants a bit of grease Leo’s Fish & Chips!
Where in Newfoundland & Labrador would we stand to see your favourite view?
‘The Rooms’ has an amazing view; in a space where New meets old
Name 3 things we’ve gotta do when we visit Newfoundland & Labrador:
1. FISH AND CHIPS with the works (gravy, peas, dressing… my dear!)
2. Walk the stretch of Water St during the day & George Street at Night
3. Cape Spear, nothing can makes you feel smaller but more connected than standing on the windy blunt of Canada’s most eastern shore!
What makes Newfoundland & Labrador such a special place on earth for you?
The people; their resilience, openness, generosity, and kindness, truly there are no others like Newfoundlander’s; that’s why everyone calls it ‘Home.’
