What a wonderful time of the year. There are parties, get-togethers, and celebrations, but our sense of home up here in the Cariboo usually means something a little different than in most places. Ann Armann’s Circle H Ranch solstice party was a great example. We arrived just before sunset to find bonfires blazing, delicious food […]

Great to be back on LAND…in the Cariboo!!
It’s been an amazing summer, filled with photographic adventures of every description. I’ve hiked amidst tarns and alpine flowers in the mountains, cruised up rivers within the rainforest, traveled by horse through ancient volcanoes, powered by boat on some of BC’s largest mountain lakes, and most recently, sailed down the central coast in gale force […]
Celestial Encirclement of Niut Mountain
I’m home for a few days and I am supposed to be writing my August Newsletter before I leave again, but I just couldn’t resist making this one blog post to share with you. I just returned from a 4 day shoot in the Niut Range which is part of the Coast Mountains west of […]

Back Home in the Cariboo.
I have just returned from two photographic trips to the Bella Coola Valley, the BC Central Coast, and the Great Bear Rainforest. What an amazing part of the world we live in. Over the next few months I’ll share imagery and give you a sampling of what I saw and experienced. Other stories will be […]
Canoe Trip ends with a Splash! June 7, 2014
When I am out exploring and photographing, I search for beauty in the landscape first, wildlife second; not the other way round. So as I paddled up Little Bridge Creek, I was taken by surprise when I looked over the bow of my canoe and saw a beaver swimming into view. As you can see, […]
