My 13 year old son, having the time of his dang life playing JB football with his new team, The Saanich Wolverines. Intensely proud of this kid, win or lose! :)

I really like this BlueSky thing, but I really, REALLY hate the lack of copyright enforcement. A button that allows you to download other people's content is the only thing that has been keeping me from using it more than IG or FB.

Any other creators feel this way? Just me?

Just a few shors from the 2025 Victoria Pride Parade.

Ok, honestly.. Am I the only youth sports photographer that deals with parents and kids taking screenshots from their galleries on his/her website, rather than just buying the photos they want?

How do you cope? How do you deal with this!?

I love this island.

Every time we leave the house, it's an adventure. The best of them is being able ro ride our bikes on the 55 km long Galloping Goose trail, that runs from Leechtown, through Sooke, to downtown Victoria, as part of the 18,000 km long Trans Canada Trail.

I love this place!

Oh deer.

This fawn peeking out from behind some shrubbery in my neighbors yard yesterday. Almost didn't see her, which I guess is kind of the point.

Photo taken in Sooke, on Vancouver Island in British Columbia.

I love that the only time my dog is cuddly is when I'm in bed, sick, depressed and feeling like the world is just too big to cope with.

When I'm at my lowest, she puts herself within arm's reach. <3

Koa, I love you, you perfect little furball.

I'm not sure if anyone else has ever felt this way, as an artist OR a creative. But as a photographer, this is the thing I deal with most, and is BY FAR - the most frustrating.

Anyone else, or just me?

Please, someone tell me that everything is going to be OK? :/

Went for a walk last night to enjoy the sunset and take a few photos. It was wonderful, but the return to the realities of the world was jarring afterwards.

Ok. So. Is it ok if I brag a little? Just for a sec? I don't really have anyone to share this with. :)

Among the chaos that is the world right now, to get this letter from my 13 year old son's school has me feeling pretty fucking stoked, ngl. I'm so proud, I could just bust.

YES. They absolutely ARE that stupid.

Why do people keep asking that question? How much more proof does one need that these people are the result of decades of education cuts?

So help me God I thought you said I can write and and jack off all trades" and I was like, "DAMN, they really have a position for everybody!".

I'm a little sleep deprived I think. ://

Hey, I'm a photographer. Specializing in journalism and storytelling through a lens. Do I qualify?

This wouldn't happen to be a paid position, would it? ;)

The 610 Photographer @the610photographer.bsky.social · Mar 6

Loving this #SiruiAurora 85mm f1.4 lens. I love that a person can have quality without spending multiples of thousands of dollars. Just to be part of the "my shit is expensive!" club.

I will definitely be kitting up with more Sirui gear as I progress and start generating some cash flow.

I wish I was a well known and important photographer so people would send me free stuff to try and review. Because man, those reviews would be ridiculously genuine; a review done by a lay person common man.

Notes on my mirror, #257: the same rule applies to being a photographer for hire as does being in a relationship: STOP FIGHTING FOR FUCKING CRUMBS..

You bring a lot to the table, you have a lot to offer & you're GREAT at what you do. Stop fighting for crumbs when you deserve the whole fucking cake.

Had a blast trying out my new #Sirui #Aurora 85mm 1.4 last night with some of the Westshore Rebels coaches, as they put on a bit of a training camp for our JB Westshore Warriors Football team at #starlightstadium in #langfordBC last night.

It was absolutely pouring, but that Sirui held up awesome!

I don't need to believe. None of these are "beliefs". These are just cold, hard facts.

End of story.

Looking forward to seeing my son on the football field again this season. Win or lose, I couldn't be prouder of this kid!

Celebrating? More like "using it to his strategic advantage".

Rip and Beth was the greatest love story of the last century.

I'll fight you on this.

My middle son, Devlin. Oh kid, how I adore you so. <3

I swear, it was only a few weeks ago that we brought him home from the hospital. <3

I left it by calling Musk a prick, and was instantly banned.

So much for "free speech". Only if you have complimentary things to say about him, I guess.
