A New Adventure on the Horizon
With another year almost in the books, my annual “albums of the year” post is forthcoming (what an awesome year in music it has been!). It seems to be the only thing I blog about (I am, as always, hoping this changes in the upcoming year). Before we get to the heart of that post…

2016 albums of the year
Here we are again. Another year has passed. 2016 was an interesting year indeed. We lost so many artists. This was hard. And then there was/is Trump. I suspect this to be even more difficult (I try to remain optimistic, but it will be the American folks who will need to hold him in check). I had promised…

2014 albums of the year

Experiences from Breakout West 2012
This past weekend I was asked by my friend Ben to help him take pictures for the Breakout West festival, the festival that takes place as part of the Western Canada Music Awards. Being generally a landscape, tree, plant photographer I was quite apprehensive at first, even declining the offer. After chatting with Nova about…

Happiness project for september: the decluttering
Continuing my happiness project I decided to take one of the first bits of wisdom Gretchen provided in her very own happiness project, i.e. that every month you should set goals, or projects, with varying degrees of manageability. I liked this idea as it is a way to keep tabs on progress while, also, getting…
