Just watched a gaggle of geese mess up traffic in False Creek and it is destined to be a great highlight of my day, maybe week. So punk, zero fucks given.

Right from three week cough into allergy season. Here we go, I'll just be involuntarily crying for a month.

Details of trees. Mostly Squamish BC.

Scanning and editing work from ~17 years ago, a time pivotal for my personal development.

It's difficult to tell the difference between nostalgia and quality of an image. Do I love these frames for their intrinsic, photographic value? Or because these moments were important to me personally?

NATURE photo zine- Release show/party date has been announced!

Fri, Feb. 21. 6pm - 8pm
Raven's Veil
831 Commercial Dr., Vancouver, BC.

Zines will be available on site.
Come hang out, have a drink & a snack and meet the artists.

I didn't know what I was getting into. The first alleycats I photographed I didn't know anyone, hell I didn't really know what an alleycat was and I was barely a messenger for a whole summer at that point.

I'm beginning to compile scans and photographs of my cycling life of the last 17 years.

The waterfall that only the rain can bring.

I had to wait 20mins for the clouds to clear just enough so the falls that drape over the granite would be visible.

F11, .8sec, iso100.

Just realized 'teaching' = 'racing'.

Though it's still accurate since I learned reaching from Dave among others in the local scene.

Dave's legs at Jeremy's Roubaix, Pitt Meadows BC.

I have a lot of photographs of Dave teaching that I love, but this portrait is my favourite.

Thank you!

PS: was trying to channel @ansel-adams.bsky.social hiking 16 km to this spot and waiting four hours for sunset light, then 4km back to a campsite. Did I do it right?

The Gargoyles. One of them. Summer 2023.

I've been thinking about work lately. Both too much of it and never enough.

Gratefully And regrettably.

Today we’re remembering the legacy of Ansel’s dear friend & fellow artist Maynard Dixon on the 150th anniversary of his birth (January 24, 1875).

Ansel visited Dixon at home in Tucson a year or so before he passed away, & made this poignant, intimate image during an impromptu portrait session.

Ohhhhhhh frosty.

Hopefully processing my BW version today or Sunday night.

Here's the results, and it was worth it.

"Secret" "Sauna" 2.

You can find out how I made this image by checking out my new YouTube channel. This was shot back in October, a few weeks after I was laid off, and I had a grand idea of creating more than consuming, so here we are.

Jamie Hooper, at brunch after he rode the Sea to Sky trail from Squamish to Pemberton over a few days. I met him on his last day returning to Squamish halfway into town, we rode back together and stopped for brunch.

Ryan is a legend. Had the pleasure of working with him this spring.

Definitely. Plenty. Lots of tungsten too. But only the big ones generally. Most of the smaller stuff stays on the truck so the LED can be on the console.

Oh some of them LED fixtures are plenty heavy...! 🙃

Yes, Hasselblad 6x6.
