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?

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.

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

Trump is hellbent of destroying everything he can so he can rebuild it in such a way that he and his cronies benefit in perpetuity. He wants to destroy your house and use the bricks to build himself a palace.

It feels weird to me to witness a Humpback swimming by. It's weird to me that something that big is alive and in the water, just.. Swimming around all day.
Beautiful, but terrifying all at the same time!

Moving to the Westshore Warriors football team in Langford was one of the best things we've ever done for our son. He has never been happer or enjoyed working harder than he has been these last few weeks. He's so much stronger than he ever thought.

Hey, tomorrow self;
"We really want to hire you, but can't afford you" and "we're not going to hire you because you're not worth that kind of money" are NOT the same thing.
Their budget is not a measure of your worth.
Now, go take some photos and be awesome!
Love - yesterday self.
