Just a boy and his boom lift.
I'm moving a 20ft truck from Vancouver to the island in three days, what the f #@$ am I doing?

This particular combination of misty treeline sunshine makes me happy whenever I get to see it.

I sat for a while trying to think of a caption, but I can't. So all you get is a picture of a tree.

I probably have said this before but I'm gonna say it again - I don't think I could live anywhere that wasn't near the ocean.

I really need to get back out into nature and start taking photos again. Lately I can really feel the absence of that quality outdoor time.

I haven't posted photos in a while and it feels weird. I swear I'll stop slacking.
Here are are some photos from the journey to Tofino.

I think I'm due for some more psilocybin and sunsets soon here....
As an experiment I'm posting this again as a picture instead of a reel.

It's crazy how you can literally look at a picture of yourself and be like, "who is that?" How is our perception of ourselves in a mirror different from how we look in pictures which is different from how we look in videos which is different from how people see us?
This is both exactly how I see myself, and not at all how I see myself. This is how I hope I look when I leave the house, but totally different from what I see in the mirror? Super weird dude - super weird.

I like the new view from my new desk! Over the past couple months we've been rearranging and redecorating the Guided Films office, and it's coming together quite nicely if I do say so myself!

I've seen forests coast to coast. And they're all beautiful. But honestly the Pacific Northwest takes the cake.

The Sooke Basin from Mt Quimper. This was a crazy hike but well worth the view and accomplishment from the top.

A lovely, cloudy, foggy Monday.
Couldn't you just sit and enjoy this view for hours? I could.

Some cheeky little thanksgiving dinner rolls.
I quite enjoy cooking and baking, and doubly so for people I care about. I've been told that acts of service is one of my love languages 🤷🏻♂️ Yeah, you're probably right.

I feel like Muir Creek is maybe an underappreciated spot? Maybe it's just that I underappreciate it? I need to head out there more often, especially on foggy days.
I'm definitely finding a lot (old and new) to appreciate being back in Sooke. I don't regret the time I've spent living in Vancouver at all, but it definitely just feels right to be back now.

I'm completely baffled. It feels like this day in July when I took this photo was more autumnal than September and October combined so far.
Though this summer I definitely appreciated the heat more than I usually would (it was a nice change outside of my comfort zone), my mood will always peak in the fall. Light rain. The morning fog! The misty exhale of the forest rising above the canopy. Also heavy rain.

Story time.
So I bought my first camera secondhand from my sister Kristi back in like 2007. And from the jump, I felt this was clearly a path I was meant to tread.
Whether or not I had any skill or success at the beginning (I'd like to think so 🤷🏻♂️), I understand now how much of an outlet photography became for me, and how this was probably pretty important for my personal growth at the time. As the years passed I experimented, learned, and became more comfortable with my own self image (as I was often my only subject).
Once I moved to Vancouver however, I fell off a bit. Through the music scene I got into show videography, and started shooting music videos for local Vancouver performers. And while this was a fulfilling outlet in a different way, and it definitely helped me grow as a person as well, much like my feelings for Sooke, I didn't realize until I started posting and capturing more photos again, how much I miss the feeling it brings.

Soup season begins with a coconut curry soup. I was eventually able to find red curry paste after visiting SIX stores in Langford - who would have thought it would be so damn difficult.
I love this soup though. I guess next I gotta start making some bread again soon!

Happy birthday to my eldest sister Kristi. I definitely would not be who I am today without her influence and support. I love you.
Wow this is an old picture. Who is that guy anyways...

A reminder to keep the self talk positive, cause you're killin' it. You deserve better than dispsragement from anyone, including yourself!

Mystic Beach. Need to make a trip down here as we get into stormy season.

I wish I could have a reliable fog forecast. I know there are methods to sus it out but that's a lot of work and unreliable. There are so many locations where I can imagine what a fog photo would look like but I guess I just have to go out there and hope for the best? C'mon scientists, help me out here.
