Resolute in spring, April 2016


A work trip to Resolute, Nunavut. Richard lit up just as the last sun of the 22-hour day hit his face. A stunning community with welcoming people at nearly 75° north.

Summit view. Golden Ears Provincial Park, Sept 2012


A big overnight hike late in the season when the snow on 
the BC mountains has mostly melted. Taken an hour before 
sunset, looking North-West with Pitt Lake in the background.

Surfers' sky. Tofino, Jan 2011

A January day watching friends surf on the west coast of Vancouver
Island. The sky looked pretty threatening but it didn't really rain.

Forest canopy. Squamish, Aug 2010

The forests in B.C. are huge and pretty impressive. These trees are on
the way up to
an alpine lake on the western side of the Squamish river.

Olympic lights. Vancouver, Feb 2010

The fantastic and ever-changing lightshow over Vancouver
during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Two of the most fun
weeks imaginable, capped off by that goal. Magic.

The Boys. Vancouver, April 2009

Two black flatcoats, finally standing still.
Joxer and Booker at their finest.

Joe falls. Harrison Lake, Aug 2006

Another lucky 35mm shot. The canoe tipped after Betty
had jumped out. A fun weekend at Harrison Lake.

Legislature at night. Victoria, Sept 2008

Rest your camera on the statue of Captain Cook (by his right
foot), wait until it goes dark, and you should see the
Parliament Buildings lit up like this. In Victoria, B.C.

Log booms. Richmond, May 2004

B.C. has many floating log booms where timber waits to be loaded
and shipped. This one
is off Iona Island outside Vancouver.

Snowy North Shore. Vancouver, Nov 2006

It's hard to beat Vancouver for a city surrounded by natural
beauty. Sometimes I have to remind myself that I live here.

Decayed wharf. Bowser Bay, Aug 2007

On Vancouver Island, looking across at the mainland.
I took this mainly for those wispy clouds.

Abandoned truck. Alert Bay, June 2008

Amongst the impressive First Nations culture up in Alert Bay,
B.C, there's much evidence of decay. This truck seemed to
symbolise that stagnation. It'd been there for a long time.

Rainbow over sea. Gibsons, Aug 2005

A lunchtime view from Gibsons Landing, B.C. Curious how the sky
on the left of the rainbow is much darker than on the right.

Floatation suits. Minstrel Island, Sept 2008

At lunchtime on Minstrel Island off the northern Vancouver
Island coast, our suits struck a bright contrast against
the grubby dock. We'd just seen some Grizzly bears.

Luke and Eeshan dive. Anderson Lake, Aug 2004

A 35mm moment from a camping trip at Anderson Lake in B.C.
There was a forest fire during the night that was quite eerie.

English Bay sunset. Vancouver, Sept 2008

There are always tankers anchored out in the bay off Vancouver,
which people often count. Perfect evening with my folks.
