One of my favourite photography experiences was capturing a local family fishing in their canoe at sunset near Reef Point. The hazy sky was cotton-candy pink and, at one point orcas made their way trough the scene as well.

Today's afternoon walk came with the observation the the Evelyn May has had another significant slip on her starboard side recently. I also bothered a bird, saw an pirate and, perhaps most upsetting, watched the fog blow in when I have a BBQ with friends tonight. #Ucluelet #Ukee #VancouverIsland

A storm sends waves crashing against the rocks at Amphitrite Point in Ucluelet on Vancouver Island. Not a tsunami, just a storm. Shot in December of 2023. #Ucluelet #Ukee #Tofino #VancouverIsland #PNW

Waves and oyster catchers near Ucluelet at sunset in May of last year. Been so busy lately I haven't been able to catch a sunset for a while. Maybe tonight's the night.

Ukee Days has been a great reminder of the beautiful, and slightly whacky community we have in Ucluelet. Now it's time for a walk on the Wild Pacific Trail to remind myself how beautiful the setting is. #Ucluelet #Ukee #VancouverIsland

Was the Ukee Days Keg Toss Proposal a display of love or a clever ploy to distract judges? The evidence may not be enough to overturn the call but it's enough to make you wonder.
This is a joke by the way, pretty much every keg tosser was WAAAY over the line :P

I saw a photo of tis spot on another page yesterday and it inspired me to find mine. This is on the Wild Pacific Trail's Lighthouse Loop. It's on of the first photos I took when I started taking still photos and not just shooting video. #Ucluelet #Ukee #VancouverIsland #PNW

Just a few days until the Ukee Days parade! Not sure yet if we'll be live streaming it or sharing a hastily edited video but, either way, you can bet we'll bring it to you if you can't make it in person on Saturday morning. #Ucluelet #Ukee #UkeeDays

One of the great privileges of my life is the amazing places I get to visit to play music. Here's a photo taken on one such visit to Sonora Resort, near Campbell River

I was just starting to take photos then and their local wildlife was really keen to model for me #VancouverIsland #PNW

For a few days in February and October you can sit on a particular bench on the Wild Pacific Trail and watch the sunset through the Amphitrite lighthouse glass, assuming it isn't overcast. Despite my efforts I haven't managed to nail the photo, yet. #Ucluelet #VancouverIsland #Tofino #PNW

Today is the ninth anniversary of my wife and I taking possession of our home in Ucluelet. Before that we had lived in Tofino, for about a decade.

Both have their charms but, to make a play on a joke locals make about Ukee Days;

There ain't no TofinoTube!

After a wedding gig in Tofino I decided to head to Spice Hut to grab some curry to take home. I had 30 minutes to wait so I caught the last few minutes of the Tuff City Skate Contest. Here are a few photos from it. #Tofino #VancouverIsland #Skateboarding

I've spent 100s of sunsets on one of the beaches around Ucluelet, Tofino and the Pacific Rim National Park. These photos are from one particularly memorable sunset at Kwisitis (aka Wickaninnish) Beach in February 2022. #Ucluelet #Tofino #VancouverIsland #Sunset

It will be officially released next week and available at places you can by books around Ucluelet and beyond. Stay tuned for the interview after I've had a chance to edit it.

(PS I intentionally left my bald spot in the second shot we we can feel self-conscious, together)

Found a few minutes this afternoon to sit down with local author Shirley Martin. Her new book "Calm Harbour, Turbulent Seas" is a comprehensive look at Ucluelet's history filled with facts, insights, stories, maps and photos.

A lot of these came from one storm... or more like a series of storms in late November and December of last year. Here's a video from that time; youtu.be/4Y1NZXO6BGM
