    Faroe Islands from the Air

    Posted on by

    In the summer of 2016 I spent a week in the Faroe Islands with Laura. It was an amazing adventure ripe with Viking lore, incredible hiking with dramatic landscapes in every direction, and cosmopolitan small cities with amazing food scenes. I brought my drone along for the ride, and this is my short film of… Read more »

    Short Stint in Brussels

    Posted on by

    Being the beer lover I am, and the flight into Brussels being the cheapest from Vancouver to Europe, it was an easy decision to have Brussels the first stop on my 8 week romp through Europe. I only spent two days in Brussels, and was mainly just recovering from my jetlag. Due to the jetlag,… Read more »

    Photographing the Palouse Day 2

    Posted on by

    Day two photographing the Palouse had Lee and I back up on Steptoe Butte to shoot the sunrise. That meant waking up at 4:40am to get up there in time. It was however most certainly worth it. We got to witness a spectacular deep red sky as the valley woke up below us. As the… Read more »

    Photographing the Palouse Day 1

    Posted on by

    After the road trip to Tofino, I was still itchy to get on the road, and take the my new Delica to do some more exploring. The Palouse for landscape photographers is one of those “must shoots before you die” locations. The big open fields, the contrast of colors, the subtle soft shadows as day… Read more »

    Apart from a 6 month stint when I was 16, I have never owned a vehicle*. That all changed on Wednesday when I bought this Mitsubishi Delica, freshly imported from Japan, and newly named the Delinquent.

Due to time limitations, I decided on sticking somewhere close, and explore Snowshoe Lake near Edgewood in the Inonoaklin Valley. Andrew, his sister, my brother Rob, and Helmut all made it out for the trek around… Read more »

    North Shore Mountains Timelapse

    Posted on by

    Another beautifully sunny winter day in Vancouver. While waiting for my afternoon tea water to boil, I noticed that the clouds on the north shore were rolling up the mountains quite quickly. I figured it would make a good timelapse, so I setup my tripod on our patio and went back to work. I think… Read more »

    Every year near the end of August/beginning of September the Kokanee (a type of land locked salmon) leave the Arrow Lakes and make their way up all the local creeks to spawn.
