Strangers
There are some songs that take me to a different mental state when I hear them being played. This is one of those songs. Whenever I hear it, I can’t stop myself taking a seat and just relishing in it’s beauty. I hope you enjoy it as much as me ⬇️.

Abby Peaches
My oldest sister brought her home after her first year of University in Winnipeg. I was 13 years old. I vividly recall my surprise at seeing a small pup with messy black hair playing around in the front yard. I also remember the reaction from my parents. Why would someone in university get a dog?…

2022
As the end of 2022 draws near, I figured it was appropriate to highlight the things that happened this year. All in all, it was quite an eventful year with many things to celebrate. Here we go, in no particular order: This year contained much to be grateful for and there’s even more I didn’t…

Daily Photo
Although I tend to post a photo per day to this blog, that’s not my goal. My goal is to find something worthy of being photographed every day. I find this is a much better way to frame sharing content. Posting something for the sake of posting something can be a waste of time. Trying…

Matcha
I used to be obsessed with making quality coffee. I had every piece of equipment imaginable: espresso machine, Chemex, Aeropress, French Press, you name it I had it. I’d heat the water to the precise temperature that’s best for ground coffee. I’d grind the beans fresh and use a scale to ensure I was using…

Auld Lang Syne
I was listening to this podcast episode today where John Green reviews the classic New Year’s song, Auld Lang Syne. Despite butchering it every year under the influence of champagne, I’ve never read the lyrics. In particular, he highlighted the fourth chorus: We two have paddled in the stream,from morning sun till dine;But seas between us broad have roaredsince auld lang…

The Right Way
I wrote this post over 6 months ago, but only now felt ready to share. I hope you enjoy it. I sit at this office desk, in this chair, for the majority of every day. There’s nothing special about it. I use a computer similar to many other people, granted with several more screens. On…

Fuzzy Peaches
A couple of nights ago I was at a live performance of poetry. That’s the right way to describe it, right? Anyways, I was at this live performance and I bought some Fuzzy Peaches. If you’re not aware of the candy I’m talking about, they are amazing. Instinctively I offered some to the women sitting…

Feeling > Subject
As someone who loves street photography, I loved this video interview with Reuben Radding. The first five minutes is solid gold. One of my key takeaways is to shoot the feeling, the emotion, instead of shooting the subject. This photo is an example of me trying to do that.

The Best Camera
There’s an old adage which goes something like this: “The best camera is the one you have on you.” For many years I agreed with this statement and thought my iPhone was the best camera I had. After all, it’s always on me, has amazing battery life, and fits into my pocket. Not to mention…
