Togetherness

The pulsating energy of nature beats alongside my heart.
We are at one in our understanding of nature's beauty.
I put out my hand,
and together we walk along the path of life.

My life

Frost in the air, leaves turning, sunny cold days. I love Fall.






I love Fall.

Colours. Frost. Sunshine. Red. Yellow. Snow capped mountains. Blue sky. Cold.

Let go

"You cannot hurry time".

One of life's solid truths which is something I have always struggled with. Immediate results, instant gratification, seeing the rewards of our fruits. However without time for this fruit to grow, they would never ripen. Allowing things to take their natural course has often left me frustrated, angry, unfulfilled. I am always impatiently waiting for what I know I want yet do I? If it is meant to be it will materialize for me. Even perhaps if I have to then search for it as I have moved on, if it is right for me, I will find it again.
Life moves in circles. It takes a course which sometimes might seem so far off the destination that you desire but at the end of the day it takes you there all the same. They say "it is the journey not the destination" yet often I feel that I obsess about what I want to have I forget to enjoy obtaining it and the path which I need to take.
"So Ham" has become my mantra. "Let go". Although I find this hard I know that each and every time I practice this mantra my life seems to get a little less complicated. We have a tendency to hold on to everything, even if it doesn't serve our happiness. Ultimately we need to be happy. It's as simple as that.

The small things in life






The small details are what catch my eye. The intricate pieces of a puzzle. In my life I try to find these and capture them. I feel that without these all coming together life wouldn't be as it is. Don't forget to look beneath the layers of life to find true beauty and a stillness which causes our hearts to stop a beat.

Portraiture photo shoots







I have had the chance to shoot with some amazing models recently and had a lot of fun!
Here are just a few of my shots.
Thanks!

Our life as spirals



All of nature is seen to move in spirals. Opposite forces react to each other to bring ebb and flow. Life moves constantly never staying still for even a second. As water flows our life flows.

Adventures



With the snow starting to melt, adventures have started to take place! It is amazing what you can find when you turn down a dirt path, or take the higher road you normally pass by.
Remember to look around once in while or life might pass you by. Look out of the corner of your eye, take a leap of faith, take the path less trodden and treasures lie in wait for you.
That is one of my goals for the summer. I want to find places that are under my nose that I have yet to find. I want to find the magic that surrounds me and let myself go wild!

New images




Just a few new images from the last little bit. Whistler has been hit hard by snow - it's awesome. I've had some great tree runs and good times with friends :)

BC


BC

Driving through BC recently I realized that it really is the most incredible landscape. It is so different from moment to moment. Snowy mountain passes, desolate barren fields, suburban sprawling towns, quiet country towns. It makes me appreciate life. What we have is so special. We must hold onto it.

Happy New Year


What does it mean that another year ends and another year begins? What does it mean that time is perpetually moving forwards and sometimes we only feel like we are moving backwards. I have realized that no matter how much we might want to stop time or turn it back to change or replay some decisions that we made we cannot. As a river flows our life flows in a constant forwards motion and in order to live life to the full we have to dive in headfirst and go with the flow. Of course there are times when we might feel as if we are treading water or swimming up stream but if we remember the one basic fact we might just let life be as it should: we cannot stop the flow of water but we can change it's direction. We must keep the momentum of our lives going forwards. For so long I feel as if I have been fighting it. Here comes my New Year's resolution: Go with the flow and allow life to take the direction it was made to from the very beginning and moment you were born.
