"Jowi Taylor has engineered a small miracle: a guitar that's also a country that's also a journey that's also a story that's also the past that's also the future that's also the here and now. All of it is beautifully documented in Six String Nation , a marvellous and optimistic and quintessentially Canadian book."
- B ill Richardson , Writer and Broadcaster

"The unique guitar at the heart of this book is a layered reflection on Canadianness in material form, and the story of its creation and travels is nothing less than a testament of joy."
- Mark Kingwell , Writer and Professor

T-Shirts and other merchandise
A variety of items including T-shirts, totes, mugs, pillows, mobile device cases and more are available from ...
Portraits - print and digital
If you had your portrait taken with Voyageur at an event either you or a person you were with would have registered with an email address. We would have automatically sent you all the usable photos from your session by email in 72dpi format with identifying banners for the event and its sponsors a few weeks later.
If you feel you didn't get those images, check out the portraits page and search the Flickr galleries. You can download there or request us to send them to you as file attachments.

But if you'd like to order a digital folder of higher resolution photos without the banners and footers (along with some other digital goodies) OR if you'd like to order archival quality giclée prints of particular photos from your session, fill out the form below.
Posters and other items may also be available.
If you have your original session number and/or image files that's great - we can compare notes over email. But if you're having trouble finding the filename or downloading the images from Flickr, simply get in touch by email and we'll help you figure it out.

The Special Edition Coin
Alas, the Royal Canadian Mint has SOLD OUT of its mintage of 30,000 commemorative Six String Nation coins but they can still be obtained through private dealers and some Canada Post outlets. They seem to be currently priced somewhere around $40 IF you can find one!

And you can still click the image of the coin to learn more about it.

And here's a cool story:
At the Stewart Park Festival in Perth ON, we met and photographed Christie Paquet, who designed the coin for the Royal Canadian Mint!
