Grand Pré

"Was it a year or lives ago
We took the grasses in our hands,
And caught the summer flying low
Over the waving meadow lands,
And held it there between our hands?"

-Bliss Carman, Low Tide on Grand Pré

Bay of Fundy

I am now at my residency in Nova Scotia! I walked down to the beach from the centre today, overlooking the Bay of Fundy. I had heard about how the highest tides in the world are here, but it didn't strike me how fast and how far the tide moves until I saw it. The tide must have advanced about 20 meters in the half hour or so I was down there. It is intimidating, almost frightening, and very exciting, to see something so big moving so fast.

Solo Exhibition!

An exhibition of colour prints and a video installation, attempting to address the mystery and inscrutability of the natural world.

A New Way of Looking at Colour Photography

A few weeks ago, I found this amazing body of work by Russian photographer Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii, who took colour photographs of Russia around 1909-1912. How is that done? Have a look at the link:

I wondered if I could do it myself, and with infrared film. First time, fail. Next time better.

Some last Iceland images

I finally got around to scanning the last of my holga images from Iceland. Here are a couple of pictures from that last few days I spent there, at the beginning of April. I took a couple of trips in around the south of the country. The beach is very near where the volcano erupted.

BC Underwater Photos

I went diving a couple times this summer on Vancouver Island and Bowen Island and had some pretty awesome encounters!
