ITAP of a classic boat in a classic British Columbia scene. We had stopped to fish for awhile when this unfolded. Didn't catch any fish, but what a beauty day!

gm! Sometimes the most powerful scenes don’t hit you right away. They don’t shout, they linger. This one is like that. It won't stop you from scrolling, but on a big screen it looks incredible!

ITAP of other people's boats while on my boat. This one was in Carrington Bay, Cortes Island. It reminds me of my Dad.

I can’t get enough of the fog on the water. As long as it doesn’t come until my anchor is set for the night!

There’s something about layers. The water. The land. The mountains. The clouds. The air. Each one softens as it steps back into the distance. Like the land is slowly letting go ...

ITAP of fireworks on Canada Day. We lucked in to the best seat in the house. Moored at the end of the dock at Fisherman's Wharf, we enjoyed a great show!

When the fog rolls in, everything changes. Shapes soften. Silence deepens. There’s beauty and mystery in what you almost see. gm

A long exposure turns the thunder of the falls into something quiet and graceful. That’s one of my favourite things about photography - it doesn’t just show what you saw, it shows what you felt.

You don’t chase moments like this. You wait for them with your camera ready and your eyes wide open.

Golden Hour – not always an hour. Be ready. Those few precious minutes can turn your scene into art.

First anchorage of the season—and it delivered. There’s nothing like watching the light settle over calm water, the boat gently rocking, everything quiet. This is the part I dream about when I’m counting down to launch day. 🌊

First couple of photos from this year’s boat trip. Just getting started! There’s something about being back on the water—everything slows down and sharpens at the same time. It’s good to be out here again.

Sometimes less is more. One subject. Clean lines. Quiet tones. That’s enough.

Some encounters stay with you. Every time I meet another creature out on the water, I feel lucky. Each encounter is different, but they all leave the same impression: we’re not separate from nature. We’re part of it. 🦑

The sea is calling, and the boat is almost ready to go! There’s something about the days leading up to launch - anticipation, last-minute prep, and that quiet hum of excitement. Starting a new season always feels like opening a new chapter 🌊

I’m getting ready to head back out on the water aboard Vestri, and I can feel that familiar pull. Life on the boat is never still for long. The light, the wind, the open sky and the wildlife. Every day brings something unexpected. I can’t wait to slip back into that rhythm.

Sometimes I photograph flowers for what they are. And sometimes I photograph them for what they feel like. This one felt like intensity - colour and shape and movement all rushing toward the centre. Not everything has to be soft. Sometimes the beauty is in the boldness.

Save this for your next shoot. Backlight + bold colour = magic.

gm and Happy Monday nature lovers! I spent a long time with this little hummingbird - watching how it moved, waiting for the light to hit just right. Sometimes that’s what photography is. Not chasing, just being there. Letting the moment come to you.
