I run around outside, on my legs, with a camera. I post my own photos except reposts. I live on Treaty 6 land in #Canada. I like #art and #movement. My views are personal and not those of my employer.

Classic River Valley Autumn...
Along the mighty North Saskatchewan River in October. It's actually a bit low in autumn but filled with colours.

The Aesthetic of the Extraordinary...
Ancient Celts believed during #Samhain (October 31 to Nov 1) the boundary between the physical world and the Otherworld grew thin, allowing spirits & ancestors to cross over. Felt that today, in a very thick #fog in a very wild forest.

There's a Fog Advisory...
Heading out into mist now. This shot was from another fog day in November 2024. Hoping for equally good conditions.

Spooky...
After running alone in an urban environment for years, I consider any lone male shape an immediate threat. If the shape is carrying something, double threat. Sad but true.

A Winter Reflection...
"Winter sucks and should be abolished!"
There, I said it — for everyone.

I catch my breath at 5 am. In a car. My life leaves little room for that. My new house came with a small forest on the lawn. Breathing, I think about a woman I know, a novelist, who said to me: 'I've always thought of you as a writer not a photographer.'

It was the 'Commercial Lice' in the sign that caught my wandering eye.

The Last Drop....
A recent fav image: A drop of rain on a suicide fence cable, on the High Level Bridge. That bridge is complicated.

Last Thursday I attended a book launch at the #Edmonton Renaissance Airport Hotel, in their Halo Bar & Bistro. I contributed 8 images to the hardcover coffee table book they launched called "Weathering YEG”.

Airport...|
I was at the airport today for lunch. I had the soup. A special book I contributed photography to is launching tomorrow night. I was dropping off art for the lobby.

I've always seen bricks like words; hard to work with.

They sentence us, or set us free.”

Still Canadian...
Mostly happy for these resting souls; all the Canadian service graves I've run past over the years. What a colossal waste of time, money and human energy that vote was — at a time when 'distraction' is obviously part of a larger play book.

I'm refocusing and being less polite.

Thing is, Alberta hates the vulnerable. This is not a place for the weak or weakened.
