Photograph From Love, Not Scarcity Learning to notice what matters before it becomes memory

It’s Wanderlust Wednesday and it’s always an honour to find my work featured here.

This week I’m reminded that sometimes our greatest adventures happen right at home.

The image of Alberta was taken along the tracks in Viking. Looking forward to getting back out there next weekend!

Storm season is almost here and I thought I’d share a bit about the process of learning.

Weather apps are downloaded.

Weekends are now spent exploring zones where I can drop pins on google my map for things like pull offs, bathrooms and gas stations. (And coffee of course.).

I’m looking for things like horizons, sight lines and interesting structures to include.

While Alberta doesn’t have a tornado alley like the US, it is famously known for its hail.

This year is a learning year and a year to prioritize images and safety over adrenaline. 💨

Have you ever wanted to go storm chasing?

Did I tell you about Alberta’s wild horses?

You’ll find them roaming in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains west of Edmonton.

I’m looking forward to spending more time this summer witnessing the magic through my lens.

If you’re interesting in spending a day together chasing wild horses please don’t hesitate to reach out.

While the flowers haven’t bloomed outside, they certainly have bloomed inside at Swish + Company.

Grateful to have been featured this week by Canon Canada for May flowers.

Our floral photography workshop at Swish is fast approaching. Are you coming?

There is something about Haida Gwaii that stays with you. Not just the landscape, but the way it teaches you to see.

Over time I’ve come to understand that colour is not something we simply look at, it’s something we learn to feel. Shaped by light, by weather, and by how willing we are to slow down and notice what is already there.

This September, I’ll be returning to Haida Gwaii with a small group of photographers for a retreat rooted in this way of seeing.

If you have questions about joining …

A Landscape of Colour and Light On noticing, attention, and the heart of an artist

There are places that change the way we see, and places that change the way we listen.

Along the Golden Spruce Trail on Haida Gwaii, I’ve come to understand that photography isn’t always about capturing an image.

Sometimes it’s about slowing down long enough to enter into relationship with a place.

This September 9-15, I’ll be returning to Haida Gwaii to host an intimate photography retreat.

You are warmly invited …

What the Trees Teach Us on Haida Gwaii ... What we learn when we slow down.

Feeling pretty excited to team up with Swish + Company in Edmonton to teach flower photography this May. If you know someone interested in sharpening their skills.

Flowers, cameras and all the pretty things …

This week my thoughts are with Sri Lanka.

If you’ve never been, you should absolutely go.

How Are You? ... Really? On noticing, distance, and truth

I love knowing that the Bison 🦬 from Elk Island have wandered into the feed of Wanderlust Travel Magazine

You never know where your art will take you!
