About My Photographs

I photograph the world I move through every day — the beaches, streets, and small spaces that make up the rhythm of my life. Most of my pictures come from walking, paying attention, and noticing how places look and feel as the weather, tide, and light shift around them.

I’m drawn to the overlap between solitude and presence: being part of a place without needing to stand at the center of it. People appear sometimes, but often it’s the traces they leave behind — a path, an arrangement, a bit of wear — that hold my attention.

My work isn’t about chasing spectacle. It’s about the kinds of moments the everyday offers when you’re open to receiving them — the small revelations, quiet shifts, and ordinary scenes that become perfect in their own way when you’re there to notice.

About My Professional Work

I spend much of my time working with organizations on complex systems — explicitly technical and implicitly organizational and human. The work is often framed as problem-solving, but for me it begins with observation: paying attention to what’s actually happening, not just what’s being described.

The habits I rely on are the same ones that shape my photography — slowing down, noticing patterns, questioning first impressions, and being comfortable with ambiguity. Insight rarely arrives fully formed; it emerges through iteration, conversation, and revision.

I care about clarity, dignity, and the long view. Good solutions, like good photographs, tend to be quieter than expected. They hold up over time, respect their subjects, and leave room for others to make meaning.

About The Site

This site is primarily a place for me to think through photographs. While sharing the work matters, it’s secondary to supporting my way of working: slow review, sequencing, and noticing when images begin to cohere.

The site evolved from a more singular, blog-centred journal and has gradually taken on more structure as the work itself has changed. The journal remains central to the practice, and projects typically emerge there—through accumulation, repetition, or sustained attention rather than advance planning. How and why the journal is used is described in more detail on the About My Journal page.

The structure here is deliberately simple and workflow-driven. I favour predictability and local tools over visual flexibility or polish. The site is designed to support gradual formation rather than impose it.

Like the work it contains, the site remains a work in progress.

About Me

I live in Vancouver, BC, and spend a good part of my free time walking the city’s beaches, neighbourhoods, and shorelines with a camera. I’m a partner at ITK Consulting, a professional services firm based here in Vancouver.

Photography has been part of my life since childhood, and it remains the way I pay attention to the world — a balance to a busy work life, and a way to stay present with the places and people I care about.
