Perspective from the lens of a tourist in British Columbia.
a living
The heart needs another outlet,
but it can’t pour everything out to every thing.
Necessary is space for the business of this existence,
one wants a life, but needs a living.
Don’t be spending winters staring at ghosts.
Get out and talk to the living.
Rhythms
resolve
There are some very large letting goes to do:
people, places, honeyed and battered phases of life
there are some even larger letting goes to do:
anger, tears, parts of yourself that leave with no return.
have a past.

Atmospheric River
This week I’m coming at you with all the Aquarius vibes. Clouds, water, air, space. A balance of lightness and weight.
Actually, I’m not too sure how that’s different from normal ;-)

That wanderlust..
creeping in like cinema.
Give me something different.

Wooden memories in the mist, until I find myself there again.
Spark Vignettes
A few weeks ago we took our kiddos to a museum in Bellingham, Spark Museum of Electrical Invention. I couldn’t help but shoot a few frames in this wonderful little museum. Electricity, this invisible force all around us, is pretty incredible. The fact we humans found a way to harness it (through diligence, bravery, and at times, stupidity) is certainly awe-inducing. If you struggle to agree, maybe visit this place. It’ll cure you of your ignorant apathy. ;-) Make sure to go on a weekend for the cherry on your trip’s sunday.
This certainly was the cherry on my trip’s Sunday:
Wanderlust # 5- 1 Palm 1 Year
A palm tree in Florida, on our 1 year wedding anniversary.
Ending with this one because I see glimpses of my current photography style just making their debut. At the time, I didn’t feel super creative, but we all have to learn where to tell our inner critics to go, don’t we?
Hope you’ve enjoyed the visual archive this week, thanks for traveling with me🫶🏻

Gardens
Gardens don’t just happen. They come about as a product of intention, tending, time, and a little bit of biological luck. One might say they’re a lot of work. Maybe even too much work. But the soul of a place, the enrichment from the fruits, or harvests, or even just being there with all senses, these are rewards worth any of the perceived toil. A garden can be a messy wild place, a dormant place, a manicured place, a thriving place. All of it a part of the seasons, all of it pointing to the balance of what it means to be a garden. I’m so grateful for these spaces.
To Bryan, Happiest 16th Anniversary. I love you.
Look Up
A quick perspective shift,
weight and weightless in meer seconds.
The lightest ease of that transition is lovely, no?
Gill Family at Whatcom Falls
Wild and wonderful and full.
Constant motion, and a never ending supply of feelings from moment to moment.
Photographing a family with young children is dynamic, and silly, and physical in the best way.
Thank you Gill Family, for letting me be a part of this sweet season of your lives.
