The battles of life Leave many scars This severed shroud Has not concealed The wounds endured Of fights worthwhile Courage not covered But instead revealed

Wonder if they’re busy? #justthefaxmaam

This is Bill. He moved to Calgary in the 70s from Nova Scotia. 🇨🇦

2020 The Kodak Store... I was wandering downtown Lethbridge and came across this old painted sign. This is the Oliver Block and once housed Stokes Drug Store (hence the Kodak sign). Then I met a fellow who, while helping to restore this old bldg., uncovered the sign! Cool. #kodak

An autumn haiku: I have raked and raked It looks the same as before I’m about to fall 🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂

Today’s matinee: Tenzing (via Apple TV) “The untold and inspiring tale of one of the most important mountain climbers in history who, with Edmund Hillary, became the first person to reach the summit of Mount Everest.” 👍🏻👍🏻

Grateful to be Canadian. Proud to be Albertan. Thankful to live in a democracy. 🇨🇦

Yea to the neigh.

Working with 5 of these bruisers today. Ten week old German shepherd “puppies”. 😉

I’m doing geometry today. The is a cute triangle. @thepuppyaura

Sometimes you just have to B.

Here is a series of mausoleum interiors from the Cimetière de Montmartre in Paris. Many were without doors, or had screens through which I could shoot. I photograph them with respect and am careful not to disturb anything. They possess a powerful beauty. #paris

Fer crying out loud, I’m supposed to be a dog person. 😳 #poppy

Spent the last couple of days with these sweet souls. 🐾❤️🐾 #murphy #kiki

An Intersectional Haiku: Two green traffic lights You can only go one way Except bicycles

Figure 7x7” printed on Ilford multi grade fibre base paper, sepia toned.

In 2016 I received this amazing piece of work from the uber-talented Neil Martin Horvath It’s a portrait of me (from a mri scan of my skull) done on a piece of vintage sheet music. The music is, appropriately, Brahm’s Lullaby.

Broken is Beautiful

Back Alley Composition

I liked the back alley view of this building. At first, the tree looked like a photo or poster affixed to the wall. Looking closer, I saw it was a window.

Tonight’s documentary: Meet Me In the Bathroom (via Kanopy) “An immersive journey through the New York City music scene of the early 2000s. A new generation kick-started a musical rebirth for New York that reverberated all the way around the world.”

Rough night for Mr. Dragon.

(Modern love) walks on by (Modern love) gets me to the church on time (Church on time) terrifies me (Church on time) makes me party (Church on time) puts my trust in God and man (God and man) no confession (God and man) no religion (God and man) don’t believe in modern love -David Bowie

Sometimes strange things catch my eye. Here it was the intricate assemblage of pipes and valves, and the wonderful, delicate colours.

Scene of a window outside of the window.

This is alarming. apnews.com/article/fort... says the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will be livestreamed

Frames. I’ve never really thought about how many photographs I’ve taken. Probably hundreds of thousands. Each one part of an experience I’ve had on my own, or in collaboration with others who played a part in the process. Add them up, it’s made me who I am. What I am is lucky. What I am is grateful.

Met these two ‘Kings of Kensington’ hanging out, where else…#kensingtonyyc
