Yesterday was World Wildlife Day and while I would not categorize myself as a wildlife photographer I have had the opportunity to capture a few "wild" creatures over the years. Please note that I know pigs are not wild, but the ones I included look pretty independent, lol. On a serious note, as humans we are fast cutting our legs out from underneath us by continuing to dominate wild spaces with poorly planned development. The quarterly profit cycle of corporations, whose only goal is to seek share holder return is a headless monster that sees little value in sustaining biodiversity. It is therefore incumbent on the populations that reside in various regions to fight back against senseless development and ensure all creatures have an opportunity to share the earth. While the dinosaurs show us the planet can always rebound and repopulate with life, in our window of time, it would be a great crime to rob the future generations of the awe and beauty of the wild world and where possible we must check power, and wealth seeking to preserve that to the future what the past has given to us.
// World Wildlife Day is observed annually on March 3rd. Established by the United Nations, this day celebrates the world's wild fauna and flora, aiming to raise awareness about conservation, the importance of biodiversity, and the need to fight against wildlife crime and habitat loss ...

Were you raised around people who fixed things instead of replacing them?
Who kept what worked.
Who respected the land because it fed them.
That kind of upbringing doesn’t fade.

Ready to hang.
Most homes don’t need more décor.
They need something that feels like where you came from.

From above, our roads look like handwriting
Curves stitched into hills
Lines pressed between ocean and sky
Forests spill colour like a tipped paint jar in October
Harbours hold light the way a palm holds water
Rivers sculpt passionately
Seen from the air, you realize something:
We live in a place that still breathes.

Bend I Must
The tempest howls and bend I must. The wet snow clings and bend I must. The ice levy’s its toll and bend I must
To bend not, is to break and the pieces of me scattered at my feet tell this truth.
The tempest, the snow and the ice only accept surrender and their terms are complete. Bend I must.
// I wrote this poem today while observing the trials of a tree in my yard as the storm bared down. This is a photo of that tree from 2016 when the only choice was bend or be broken. ... See MoreSee Less

The Breaking of the Dawn
The Story:
The shadow cast by the earth is the night and when it lifts, when the first of the suns golden rays are able to directly reach our eyes there is a keen energy there. More then the physics of the electromagnetic spectrum, the sequence of light in time, that it has returned, brings with it emotion, a bit of awe. Combined with the finest of frosts and the luck to see it all happen and this winters morn was to be adored. Be sure to tap and check out the full size version of these photos. ... See MoreSee Less

Some evenings settle softly.
A quiet horizon.
Colour fading slow over water.
Other nights rise up in cloud and fire.
Light pushing through.
A sky that refuses to be ordinary.
Two framed canvas portraits.
Captured here. Lived here.
24" x 16" – $150 + HST

A Winters Jacket
The Story:
With an alchemy that only icebound days can provide that which was dark has been turned into light. Each of these scenes an orphan without the blessing of the snow. Moody yes, but all with redemption while bearing winters kiss.
These were taken in Barney's River, Marshy Hope and near Five Islands in Nova Scotia. The first photo is a stitched panoramic image to help provide crisp detail on the trees. ... See MoreSee Less

Some days Nova Scotia moves slowly.
A moss-covered trunk rising through green light, slow and ancient.
A cathedral built of bark and patience.
Other days, she cracks the sky open.
Lightning over dark water.
A moment that exists for half a second and stays with you for years.
One is stillness. One is power.
Some are drawn to the moss tree — calm, grounded, almost meditative.
Others go straight for the lightning — bold, dramatic, impossible to ignore.
Most homes around Antigonish lean one way or the other.
Which one are you?
If neither feels quite like yours, there are many more canvases available at
