Thinking Differently
Thinking Differently For some time now I’ve been struggling with my own posts on social media. Asking myself, what motivates me to post what I post and how are these posts being received. I enjoy the interactions with all my friends on these platforms, but social media is not about interactions with friends, it’s about […]
Tips for Night Photography
Tips for Night Photography It can be tricky taking photographs at night. Photography is all about chasing light. At night time our opportunities are limited by the very nature of the darkness. However, together with the challenges come terrific creative opportunities. With tonight’s Illuminate Yaletown, there is even a photographic competition. I’ll be out helping […]
First Coffee of the Day
First Coffee of the Day Heading north to try a little steelhead fishing in the Bulkley Valley. I spend the first night near Barkerville. I’m reminded just how special being in nature can be.

Clouds make gorgeous skittered patterns across an immense blue sky. The sun has not been up long and the muted colours are […]
Resilience
Resilience Brad Marsden calls – I’d met him a few weeks back when he presented a gut-wrenching and powerful workshop about residential schools. Not something I was particularly excited about attending, I knew it would be difficult to hear, but I decided it was something I wanted to do. The workshop was being put on by […]
Rufous Hummingbirds – Smithers BC
Rufous Humming Birds in Smithers BC My good friends Gladys and Shawn have an amazing back yard, near Smithers. Some of you may recall the standing bear image I captured earlier this summer. A few weeks later, I enjoyed filming these wonderful little Rufous Hummigbirds, in slow-motion, with my new RED Raven. Shortly after […]

From Victoria I take a leisurely drive to Beaver Lake Resort. This beautiful little place is so well run. I even made a video in the bathroom, I was so impressed! I […]
The week that Julie and Malcolm came to visit.
