Photography’s Role in the Uglification of Our World
We live in an ugly world. Yes, people have become crueler and dumber, we have a handful of people owning everything and are still not satisfied, and the planet is covered in war and famine. And, let’s not forget about the climate disaster! But the ugly I’m referring to is a literal one. Look around.…

Festival Of Trees
For 40 years and counting, the Festival of Trees held at the Western Development Museum has been a cherished annual tradition in Saskatoon. Usually held during the last week of November, this fundraiser for Saskatoon City Hospital brings out the kid in all of us. The main part of the festival is, of course, the…

Little Red Tanks
Of all the insects who also inhabit this rock we live on, I have yet to meet anyone who doesn’t like ladybugs. They definitely don’t bite humans, they eat rose destroying aphids, and they’re pretty too. What’s not to like?! Ladybugs are not actually “bugs” but rather beetles which is why some entomologists prefer the…

Autumnal Camping In Pike Lake
It’s been a couple of year since I last had the opportunity to go camping. And after having my cute little dog, Bella for about 8 years, I realized that I haven’t taken her on any camping trips either. So, I decided that this would be the year to get out into the fresh air…

Filtering The Sunset
Is there any one who doesn’t absolutely love sunrises and sunsets? Dawn and dusk are the most beautiful times of the day in large part, because of the gorgeous colors that come out. I’m also always awed by the majesty of nature as well and watching the sun rise and fall is one of the…

Saskatoon Fringe 2025 Wrap Up
The Saskatoon Fringe is officially over for another year. This was, of course, my second time as a pop-up busker on the street. I had 11 sets but was only able to hit 10 of those due to a combination of health and weather. I brought my camera with me on a few days to…

Happy Little Flowers For A Rainy Day
Since it’s raining today, I thought I’d share some happy little flowers with everyone. We can all use a little Friday pick me up, right?! This is also a chance to see the start of my new direction. Or old direction since macro flower photography was one of my very first inspirations!

Car Show Double Duty
On July 26th, the Saskatoon Farmers Market was having a car show and barbeque. I’ve done a lot of busking at the market over the past couple summers and I thought it would be fun to try playing at a car show. But I had another reason to go the market car show too. Performing…

A New Direction
Every online photography guru I’ve ever listened to will tell you that you have to choose one direction in photography. Not because you can’t or shouldn’t dabble in other genres but because it’s easier for your potential clients, as well as your fans, to find you and want to hire you. So I chose to…

Red Dresses
This is not an easy post to write. Privilege is being able to forget about a special day set aside for honoring the nearly 2000 missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGTBQ+ people. Privilege is being able to forget because I don’t know any MMIWG to have to remember. Privilege is seeing red dresses…
