Since 2007, Canadian photographer Richard Johnson has been taking photos of the humble ice fishing hut, the distant cousins of the teepee and the igloo. Traveling across Canada, Johnson documents these provisional shelters that are a huge part of Canada’s ice fishing culture. Though transportable, Johnson notes that ice huts are a reflection of their owners, conveying their own individual personalities though their form, colors and materials. See Johnson’s collection of ice huts on his website, which features almost 800 of them from all over the country.
