The Photographer

Acknowledges that the place in which I live, work, and learn is on the shared territories of many Indigenous Peoples, including: q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie), q̓ʷɑ:n̓ƛ̓ən̓ (Kwantlen), kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), máthxwi (Matsqui), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), qiqéyt (Qayqayt), se’mya’me (Semiahmoo), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), scəw̓aθən məsteyəxʷ (Tsawwassen) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) – and has been stewarded by them since time immemorial.

Happy World Down Syndrome Day!

The past years' posts in my feed have highlighted our love and gratitude for having Miles in our life as well as advocacy for inclusion. Not only because of how it impacts him, but also how it can deprive a community from learning from and growing with those like him. Using 'people first' language and the international down syndrome community's 'assume that I can so maybe I will' are great examples of that.

In addition, from a personal perspective, I want to highlight the daily hidden and normalized struggles of caregiving for someone with a designation as well as the internal dichotomy of mourning the potential loss of a neurotypical future while consistently supporting their capacity to live a full and integrated life. It is a challenging set of ingredients to add to general parenting/caregiver life. I salute parents, caregivers, siblings, extending families, friends and support teams for making space and courageously advocating.

I encourage anyone orbiting those who are in support roles for these special souls to ask themselves how they can join the party and engage, even if it is only to lend an ear.

Shine on Miles! We love you big fella!!

And this was what all the standing around was about! Key art for @lyndiegreenwood and @ten_minutes_younger new Hallmark mystery movie. Such a wonderful group of humans to share space with, play and hit all the notes in all the right ways. Guided and supported by an incredible creative team on the other side of the border. Gems all around. Beautiful. Elation.⁠ #dreamyteam™️!⁠

Extra special shout out to @richiebangbang and the whole locs team for playing the part of guardian angel making sure we had a space.⁠

Been a few mins! Back log of film scans and unshared work as I'm getting back into the habit of posting. Kicking it off with these two great humans and a bonus spaced out rando at the end

I did a lot of things last year, but this gallery day was a thing. There's musical harmony which is a magical sorcery all by itself whether you play or listen. Then there is the live experience of being harmonious with other musicians creating a harmony out of thin air which is greater than any one person. Some pretty damn cool stuff happens sometimes with a little fellowship and it's always a gift to get to be in the room when it does.⁠

And there's more.⁠

All b&w is medium format film, colour is digital. So much to say about this one no post will ever be able to do it justice. ⁠
