A quiet moment with a Hooded Merganser chick.

This is one, among many reasons I love Edmonton's River Valley so much. You never know what small moments are waiting if you're willing to slow down and pay attention.

I spent about 45 minutes sitting quietly beside a pond that was just off the trail, watching a family of Goldeneye chicks exploring the far shoreline. But...as I sat there, this little guy appeared on my other side.

Completely alone.

It slowly paddled closer and closer, not seeming to notice me right on the bank. For a while, we simply shared the same space in nature.

Moments like this feel less like something I've "captured" and more like something I've been invited into.

This little guy is a Hooded Merganser chick. They are tiny divers with a surprisingly wild story. These birds nest high up in tree cavities and only a day after hatching the ducklings make an incredible leap to the ground before following their mother to the water. They are excellent swimmers almost immediately and spend their early lives learning to dive for aquatic insects and small fish. They are able to catch fish by direct underwater pursuit, remaining submerged for up to 2 minutes. They resurface to swallow their prey, turning it around so it is swallowed headfirst. This method avoids injury from the spiny fins of some types of fish.

Whether it had simply wandered away from its brood for a while or was exploring on its own, I was grateful for the trust. There's something I find deeply rewarding about being still enough that nature decides you aren't something to fear.

Sometimes the greatest gift photography offers isn't the image itself.
It's the privilege of sharing just a moment with a small life that owes you nothing.

Trust isn't taken from nature. It's given briefly, and only to those willing to sit quietly enough to receive it.

Pentax M - Ektacolor 400~

Recently I’ve started to spend more time standing still before taking a photograph.

Not to look for something spectacular or amazing. Not rushing off to the next location.
I'm just letting myself notice what’s already there. What catches my eye and why it is that it does so.

These pigeons were on the edge of the mall, on my walk in to work, for less than a minute. Most people probably wouldn’t have looked twice. They're just Pigeons. Honestly, I almost kept walking too.

But the longer I stood there and took it all in, the more the moment unfolded on its own. The lines. The second bird. The distance between them. The small shifts in posture. The pause before one finally left.

Photography has been teaching me that attention changes things. To be mindful and be in that moment. Do I have better images? Absolutely. Do they have as much of an impact as this one? Not all of them do.

Sometimes the most meaningful images come from moments we would normally pass by without ever really seeing.

I want you to stop scrolling...

Take a moment out of your day and listen to Alan Watts while tracing the lines of this image. Free of other thoughts to jumble your brain.

I've often had this talk in my head. A reminder to try to slow down and take things in. Not to rush. Just to experience the moment as it is right now.

I took this shot one evening, down in the ravines that run through our city. I had looked down off the bridge I crossed and saw the light and ice edges forming these shapes. Almost as if they had been drawn across the water.

Down under the bridge, and across the ice, I sat. Watching the sun reflecting in the water as it set behind the trees. The quiet within the trees around me almost deafening.

I love little scenes like this. The intimacy of nature on display. Spaces others may pass by or not see.

I hope this has offered a moment for you to slow down. Take something into your mind intentionally. Allowing yourself to move forward in a positive mindset.

*Shoutout to for the assist in helping me see. What I wanted to showcase and how to be able to frame it*

In wild wonder and deep peace,

Urban Scout

He moved silently, body low.
Finding his way through the grass,
scouting a landscape that keeps changing around him.

The boundary between wild and human
isn’t where we think it is.

It shifts.
Expands.
And sometimes disappears entirely.

Fences rise to cut off known paths.
Fields close into busy corridors.
The edges start to blur...

And yet,
he adapts.

Coyotes don’t just survive within human expansion.

They study it.
They map it.

Moving through with a quiet intelligence
that’s easy to overlook as a nuisance.

Working with what the world has become.
They find a way.

Resourceful.
Aware.

I finally printed one of my images.
Just a test at 8x12.

I always forget how different it feels
to hold a photograph in your hands.
To slow down with it.
To really take it in.

I went back and re-edited this one.
It’s always meant a lot to me
but I think I finally brought it closer
to what I felt when I took it.

This was shot in
during the

A burned out tree stump. One among many.
And for a while, I couldn’t figure out
how to show what I was seeing.

Until I found it…
through a hole,
captured in the reflection
of water sitting inside the tree.

The black and white felt right.
Less distraction.
More texture.
More true to what I saw.

I think this one deserves to be printed larger.
Maybe metallic paper?

Shoot your way.
Print your photos.
Do it for yourself.

Do you print your photos or mostly keep them digital?

Unbowed to the Self

I don’t photograph people often, or at all, really.
My work usually lives in noticing the small worlds, textures, moments that you don't normally pay attention to in life. Animals you pass by and spaces that impact me.

On a trip to Vancouver, I had the opportunity to share space and create with and this felt different. Necessary.

This image isn’t about posing or perfection. It’s about strength.

About resilience. About the courage it takes to exist in your own body without apology. Especially when you’ve been hard on yourself, when the inner voice is louder than the truth.

I wanted to reflect her back to herself as I see her.
Grounded. Powerful. Sensual. Uncompromising. One of the most unique humans I've ever had the pleasure to know and to share a life together.

A body that has carried weight, judgment, and expectation and still refuses to bow.
This wasn’t about making something beautiful.
It was about honoring what already is.

Unbowed.

This image began with a mushroom.

I was out on a crisp, frosty morning before my therapy appointment, hands cold, breath digging up my screen, waiting for the sun to slowly come around a tree and give the mushroom cap the light I was hoping for. Everything was still. Quiet in that early morning way where it feels like the world hasn’t quite woken up yet.

While I waited, this tiny spider—no more than 3–4 mm—emerged from beneath the cap and carefully made its way into view. Easy to miss. Something I never would have noticed if I’d been rushing or focused only on what I came out to photograph.

A small fun fact: spiders this size don’t rely on strength or speed. They survive through patience, timing, and staying hidden until the moment is right. Watching it pause and move with intention felt fitting for where I was headed that morning.

I stayed still. Let the moment unfold. The frame that followed came from observing rather than directing, letting the scene exist as it was instead of trying to control it.

See the final slide for the full image. The space matters just as much as the subject.

A quiet reminder that some of the most meaningful moments show up when we stop trying to force them.

They say damselflies are the quieter kin of dragonflies.
slender, reserved, content to linger in the calm.

Unlike their cousins, they fold their wings neatly along their spine, as if tucking themselves in between breaths.

This one was newly hatched,
its colours still soft and pale,
resting in the sun to dry its wings.

I stayed there with it,
my own breath slowing to match its rhythm.
For a moment, we both disappeared into the green.

Stillness watching stillness.
Patience meeting patience.

In wild wonder and deep peace,
Gassho and Metta 🕉️

Nature in Reverb is a meditation in motion. A visual of what it feels like when inner stillness meets outer landscape. As I sat on the rocks before dusk, the world quieted into itself. Cranes moved in silence. The trees shimmered across the water and the ripples caught the light like a waveform. A frequency I could feel throughout my body.

This piece emerged not from what I saw, but from what I sensed and felt. In deep presence, breath by breath, I began to hear nature in stereo. The water didn’t just reflect the trees, it mirrored the state of my own being. Calm. Aware. In tune.

This photograph captures a moment of natural reverb. Where external landscape and internal state blurred into one continuous signal. Not noise, but resonance. The image reminded me that we are not separate from nature. We are nature. Made of the same elements. Moving to the same rhythm.

To witness that reflection is to remember that quiet is not empty. Silence is full of listening.
