  • Portland, OR

    Portland, OR

    Our honeymoon trip down the northern Pacific Coast ended with a couple nights in Portland, OR. We treated ourselves to a very fancy stay at the Riverside Kimpton Hotel (because they have room service) and had a wonderful time (ordering room service) and exploring a bit of Portland’s downtown and Washington Park. We didn’t taste…

  • Oregon + NorCal Honeymoon

    Oregon + NorCal Honeymoon

    In August we drove south from Canada into the States to spend some time camping in California’s Del Norte Redwoods National Park and Oregon’s Crater Lake National Park. Both regions are protected parks due to their unique and spectacular natural beauty and ecological diversity, and I cannot recommend visiting them enough. We snapped some great…

  • Turquoise Lomography

    Turquoise Lomography

    LomoChrome works best when used in natural settings, such as forests and gardens. After buying a 3-pack of some different LomoChrome colors, I found that the turquoise was my favorite when used to capture the surrounding flora. [Taken September 2023]

  • Burrard Bridge at Night

    Burrard Bridge at Night

    As seen in many a Canadian car commercial the Burrard Bridge connects Vancouver’s Kitsilano neighborhood and Davie Village. It’s a beautiful old bridge with bygone architecture, (electric) colorful torches, large walkways and bike lanes, and a great view of Granville Island to the east, and the North Shore mountains to the northwest. We walked along…

  • All British Car Show / Golden Ears

    All British Car Show / Golden Ears

    After multiple camping trips to Gold Creek Campground I have more than my fair share of nice shots taken at Golden Ears’ Alouette Lake. There’s just something about it that begs to be remembered on film! However, Golden Ears isn’t alone on this roll of film – I also got some great shots of an…

    A few shots taken at Porteau Cove and around Vancouver. [Taken May 2023]

  • What’s More Canadian Than Maple Syrup?

    What’s More Canadian Than Maple Syrup?

    I was a busy-bee shooting a lot of film in March 2023. This particular roll was shot at a family-owned Maple Syrup Farm called Breedon’s in rural Ontario, where they showed us how maple syrup was historically made using large cauldrons, and how it’s currently made using giant hi-tech machinery! The maple trees had to…

    It was snowing outside in Vancouver – a very special event – but I chose to stay inside and do a photo shoot with my cat and some re-purposed plant lights and flowers. [Taken March 2023]

  • Alouette Lake, Golden Ears Part 1

    Alouette Lake, Golden Ears Part 1

    We went camping near Alouette Lake at the Golden Ears campgrounds during a very hot weekend in B.C.’s Lower Mainland in the height of summer 2022. High summer is my favorite time to camp because I get unbearably cold at night in tents, no matter how much outrageously-priced sleep gear I have purchased over the…

  • England Looks in No Way Like Southern California

    England Looks in No Way Like Southern California

    The summer of 2022 felt like the beginning-of-the-end of the Covid-19 era. Large gatherings were allowed, people were seeing friends and family again, and travelers picked up their suitcases and jetted off to their long-awaited destinations. If, like us, you were around the age where everyone you knew was getting married, then 2022 was the…
