Someone else’s dreams,
or your own.
All that’s left is to decide.

Perspective from the lens of a tourist in British Columbia.
~Unknown
Ogden Point, Victoria BC
I can’t help but be drawn to these elements, even in new places.
in British Columbia waters, 2024
What it feels like to be a wave
Influenced by a small thing you can never touch,
Pushed and pulled always in motion.
To hold such force..
But only within the confines of
That small thing that binds you.
That thing that is smaller than you.
That thing you can never touch.
Red, existing in extremes,
unable to be anything but itself.
Commanding passionately at the far end of this visible spectrum.
A simple kind of blue,
Collected, released, dispersed.
Allowed to exist in many states, and not end.
Blue feels hopeful. Blue feels… simply eternal.
Even when things around are complicatedly finite.
Mountains as the backdrop of a lake, or a small tide pool? ;-)
Something a bit different, from a styled shoot I was invited to back in April.
We’re all equal before the wave.

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 ;-)
Hope, glistening by the side of a forest road.
When life feels uncertain, find salt water.
We’ve run away with possibilities and can’t see the utopia we already have.
We can’t see that we’re destroying it.
Or if we can, for whatever reason,
none of which I’ve heard is good enough
we don’t care.
I went for overcast skies and when I got to the end of the trail, the sun came out. Take from that what you will :-)
Seeking a quiet frame to get lost in.
I didn’t understand, and because of that I couldn’t see you.
All I knew was the current of fear, a choice to be swept up in this lack of rationality.
Missing the complexity, my large body terrified of your small one,
your entire existence gone in one decisive moment.
How powerful I was. How afraid.
One of those gloriously messy weekday mornings where we managed to get out the door early, good attitudes still in tact. I also had the wherewithal to grab my camera, given the conditions seemed conducive to drama over the lake. It’s a beautiful thing when plans work, and we get a nice little break from perpetual adaptation.
