    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 »

    Tofino Road Trip

    Posted on by

    Andrew was back in town for another week after busting his ass up north. It also just so happened that Lee was heading down to the coast, so we decided to drag Oliver along and do a quick weekend camp trip out to Tofino. It was my first time out in Tofino in in about… Read more »

    Cairns

    Posted on by

    Our last stop of our trip took us to the north eastern town of Cairns to go snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef, and take a bit of time to decompress before leaving Australia. Before hitting the ocean we decided to go on a hot air balloon ride. I had wanted to take Mateo on… Read more »

    Uluru

    Posted on by

    After Kangaroo Island, we headed north up to Adelaide for an evening, before flying up to Alice Springs. In Adelaide Mateo and I had a blast trying the local pie floaters, an Adelaide specialty. Once in Alice Springs we rented a car, with camping equipment and made the 8 hour drive to Uluru. The camping… Read more »

    Kangaroo Island

    Posted on by

    Kangaroo Island was probably one of my favorite places in Australia. It had a wild mix of geography, from Sahara like sand dunes, to rocky ocean cliffs. An amazing array of wildlife, and some of the best colors at sunrise and sunset I have ever seen. Mateo loved seeing all the animals, and we had… Read more »

    Great Ocean Road, Grampians, Port Fairy

    Posted on by

    After the 12 Apostles, and the zip-lining I realized Mateo was getting a little sick of all the coastal driving. I decided to take a detour and shoot north up to the Grampians, before heading back down south to the coast again on route to Kangaroo Island. The Grampians were a really excellent diversion, and… Read more »

    Great Ocean Road

    Posted on by

    After Sydney, Mateo and I flew to Melbourne. We spent a day there wandering around, before renting a car, and making our way down to the coast, to drive the Great Ocean Road. For this post, there are photos from our drive from Melbourne to Ocean Grove to hook up with the coast, then all… Read more »

    Sydney, Australia with Mateo

    Posted on by

    When Mateo (my nephew and godson) turned 12, I asked his parents if I could take him on a trip when he turned 13. They agreed, so long as it was someplace safe. I told Mateo when he had his 12th birthday that he could choose any place in the world, and we would go… Read more »

    Belgium Beer Tasting

    Posted on by

    En route to Jason and Sophie’s wedding in Hungary I decided to do a short stop over in Belgium to do some beer sampling. Having to work during the day, essentially meant I had during my lunch breaks and at night to taste. It was enough though. Brussels was a pretty well setup city for… Read more »

    Istanbul

    Posted on by

    We stepped out of the Crazy Holidays bus into the ‘crazy’ Büyük Otogar bus station. Ten plus hours on a bus from Thessaloniki, with only baklava to eat, our heads were swimming in the masses of people. It was drizzling slightly, and a touch cold, something I had not expected. We grabbed our bags from… Read more »

    The Wonders of the Meteora Monasteries

    Posted on by

    Part of the reason we stayed a little longer in Greece was so that we could visit the monasteries in Meteora. From the moment I saw a photo of the monasteries perched out on cliffs I knew we had to go. We missed a bus, and didn’t arrive at the neighbouring town of Kalabaka until… Read more »

    Thessaloniki, Greece

    Posted on by

    We flew to Thessaloniki because it was the closest city to Istanbul that was also the cheapest to fly to from Prague. We stayed longer because of the incredible hospitality. From the moment we arrived at the Little Big House we were treated like honoured guests. Vicky and Harris did everything they could to make… Read more »
