Woebegone, but buoyant. From a morning walk.

Wily, Frabjous, Abstruse Visited a forest site I frequently return to, this time with a crotchety old lens and no particular plan, so I tried some deliberate movement with longer exposures, all hand-held.

Wily, Frabjous, Abstruse: today’s post inspired by a visit to the woods.

The latest of a 10-year (and counting) project I call “B vs the World"

Thanks!

Yeah, the ubiquitous little vagabonds!

Just walked slowly up on them and took a few shots as they took off. Pre-focused on something a bit closer before approaching (manual lens). Got lucky I guess.

From a morning walk, not sure why I like this one.

An oldie from a cross-Canada trip in 2015.

The ‘Flats’, just where the Skeena River affords a broad foraging area for geese. Made with a couple exposures overlaid and blended (one infrared, one normal b/w).

"Historically, there just aren’t any examples of right-wingers using the mechanisms of power created by centrists to do really fucked up shit.”

Had to share this fun little gem from the Beaverton.

A few sights that caught my eye in the last couple days.

So it’s a cruise ship day in town and I see this couple wearing little baggies over their sneakers.

Is this a thing then?

You shouldn’t have caved.

A filmy recollection this time...

That’s a nice one!

There’s something essential about a person working behind a counter. It’s relatable I guess, a scene with infinite variations, part of everyone’s visual memory.

Word-Weary #4 - a nice set of mismatched photos that work for me, see what you think. I call it “Cruisees and Crabbies"

I’m not sure what I like about infrared photography. It’s like an afterimage of reality, the imprint on the backside of your eyelids.

What Photography Teaches Me about Surviving the News Cycle It is humbling to pause and take note of what we can easily lose

A worthwhile read by NWT photographer Pat Kane: "What Photography Teaches Me about Surviving the News Cycle"

Nice work!

An alien-looking landfill methane capture pod stands in a field at Parc Frédéric-Back in northern Montréal, with ominous clouds in the background.
