  • Preparing for another trip – leaving tomorrow morning for the beautiful east coast. I will finally see Nova Scotia, which will leave Saskatchewan as the only province I haven’t shot yet (province, mind you, I’ve got plans for the territories!). At this point, having not seen Nova Scotia yet, it is my humble opinion that…

  • There is a town in north Ontario, With dream comfort memory to spare, And in my mind, I still need a place to go, All my changes were there. Blue, blue windows behind the stars, Yellow moon on the rise, Big birds flying across the sky, Throwing shadows on our eyes. Leave us, Helpless. – Neil Young.…

  • One of the best photography days in BC – Long beach is a white sand beach on the west coast of Vancouver Island, near Tofino. A heavy fog had rolled in that evening and the beach was deserted. The landscape is eerie; beautiful and desolate. The fog didn’t stop the surfers though, I snapped this…

  • This was one of the most magical parts of our trip to BC – a visit to a sanctuary for birds of prey on Vancouver Island, near the town of Duncan. I apologize for the image-heavy post, but these birds were so magnificent I couldn’t pare down the photos. To quote the website on where…

  • Tito and I are leaving tomorrow morning for BC – hooray! We have never been that far west, so we’re really looking forward to it. As a special bonus we’re getting to see our good friends in concert on Canada Day – the Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra (who are showing off many photos taken by yours truly).…

  • Today I wanted to share pics of the birthday gift I made for my friend Kris – For my birthday gift this year, and also to celebrate 20 years of friendship we went to Hawaii, and thanks to her being willing to drive out (at 3 in the morning, in bad weather, on a G2…

  • Today I wanted to share a pair of bracelets I just completed for a friend. The request was for two matching charm bracelets in my ‘Iceberg” theme – to be given to a pair of ladies as Christmas gifts. Though the girls are not sisters, these two bracelets are; they were created in tandem and…

  • So the show is only 10 days away – I can’t believe it. I’m still in production, though definitely approaching the end. Today I wanted to share the latest woven bracelet, this one is in delicate greens, yellows and earthy colours, inspired by a beautiful Emerald Hummingbird I photographed in Costa Rica. I was so…

  • Today I wanted to show off the new Inspira series bracelet for the city of Venice. The first one of these beautiful pieces was sold to a dear friend, but I loved it so much I had to make another one for the show! This delicate bracelet is hand woven, one bead at a time,…
