Let me explain why I photograph nature, and then why I want to focus elsewhere...

I'm not terribly motivated by New Year's resolutions, but I will tell you what I will be aiming for this year.  Even though I'll undoubtedly fail often.   And what I have resolved to do is this: If and when I "waste time", it will be because I'm doing something I love.  That's it.  Doesn't sound hard, does it?  But somehow it is!

In case any of you might not know, photography is not just a hobby for me, but has been my career since since 2006.  For a time, it was strictly business and wasn't even a hobby.  And having grown up with little interest in it, photography was something I surprised to find myself doing at all. So why am I a photographer?

It's been a while, as I thought I would have sent out an update before mid-summer, but focusing on my commercial photography services this year has really kept me occupied more than I anticipated. If you've followed my instagram, you know that this spring I went on a very fruitful trip to the island of Kauai (both literally and figuratively) and when I returned I was hoping...

So what happened? Last you heard from me, I was about to embark on a little trek to an old ghost town near Whistler, BC. And embark I did. That was the last week of August, ie, forever ago. I would like to report that while the "ghost town" is no longer standing, a single shack still is, so it's more of a "ghost shack" than a ghost town.

I know I've been on "silent running" for the past few months- as you might remember, I mentioned I would be "pressing pause" on my Life is Art correspondence this year as I was shuffling around some new commercial work responsibilities, but have recently shuffled them back, and what better day to reconnect!?

I like bears.
