DESCRIPTION   The walk up the Narrows of Zion is exceptional. My friend Ryan and I spent a few days exploring Zion and on the first day we ran out of time to check out the narrows. The next day it rained a bit and turned the water a milky brown colour and, while...

DESCRIPTION   I've lived in Fernie for just over a year now, and one thing that I've come to appreciate is that the fall colours here are exceptional. Because Fernie doesn't get a ton of wind and there are a lot of Tamarack trees, the colours hang around on the...

DESCRIPTION   I wish I knew who the guy in this photo was, but sadly, I don't. In fact, shortly after taking this photo, my friend Riley and I, journeyed up to the same exact spot that he is standing in this photo. Only, when we got there he was nowhere to be...

DESCRIPTION   Sunrise at the top of a mountain has to be one of the more special things that you can witness. Not that it's any different than sunrise on a beach, or in the middle of a field, because those are great too. Actually, let's rewind. Sunrise on top of...

DESCRIPTION   My favourite area of Utah was the Jacob Hamblin arch down the Hole in the Rock Road. It was such an incredible sight and way better than I'd ever imagined. I saw some photos of it before heading there with my friend Ryan, but it was much larger and...

DESCRIPTION   The Singapore bay area is one of my favourite areas of any city. Maybe because I'm a kid inside and love the shining lights, colourful buildings, the gardens by the bay, the laser shows, and of course, the ferris wheel. But really, how much better...

DESCRIPTION   Before leaving New Zealand, Hilary and I took one last road trip around the entire south island. There were a few areas along the west coast that we had never visited before, even though we had spent a fair amount of time travelling around while we...

DESCRIPTION   The limestone cliffs rising out of the ocean in Ha Long bay are some of the most iconic in the world. We decided to visit this area during our time in Vietnam on one of our last days before flying out of Hanoi. This dock was actually where we...

DESCRIPTION   Everyone has seen the photos of Multnomah falls in Oregon (you know, the one with the bridge and such), but how about Latourell falls just down the road? It's such a cool spot and easy to get to. The water pours off a big cliff with basalt columns...

DESCRIPTION   While the overall landscape in Utah is amazing and it's filled with stunning vistas and grand views, I was most blow away by all of the smaller details. Like the patterns in the rocks, or the shifting colours of the light, or in this case, the fine...

DESCRIPTION    Riding into the Sunset - The Ghostrider on Mount Hosmer is an iconic and easily recognizable symbol of Fernie. I've tried many times to get a photo of it, but usually with no luck. This past September, I ventured out to try once again and was...

DESCRIPTION   Hanoi's old quarter is quite famous for its narrow streets and old buildings. It's designed around a merchant city in that all of the streets are named after the goods that used to be found on that street. For example, there would be a street filled...

DESCRIPTION   One morning, I snuck out bright and early to catch the first light coming up over the peaks in my hometown of the Crowsnest Pass. While I did succeed in that part, what I didn't succeed in was staying warm. Sweet baby jesus it was cold. I remember...

DESCRIPTION   I could not get over the colours and shapes at Nabriske Point in Death Valley. It happened to be sunset as we were driving by on our way to a campsite further into the valley so we decided to swing by. Also, they had a toilet in the parking lot...

DESCRIPTION   There is a cave that has gotten a fair amount of recognition in my home town of the Crowsnest Pass. Two friends and I were actually hired recently to explore it and take photos and video of the inside. It's highly technical to access and move around...

DESCRIPTION   Inle lake is famous for the fishermen that use the traditional basket and one legged stance. The good news here is that, instead of confusing you and trying to describe what I mean by this bizarre thing, you can simply check out the photo! Perfect!...

DESCRIPTION   Okay, the Atlanta Aquarium wasn't that Awesome at all. I'm sure as far as aquariums go, it's quite stellar. But as far as awesome things go, it was not. Now, I should backtrack a bit and tell you how I ended up here. A friend and I headed down to...

DESCRIPTION   Fall is my favourite time of year. Well besides Christmas of course. And spring is pretty great. And I also love the long days of summer. But what about the cozy warmth of being inside by the fire in the depths of winter? Fine, I clearly have some...

DESCRIPTION   For a country with as much coastline as Vietnam, we surprisingly spent a lot of time away from the coast. One of the times that we were on the coast, however, was in the northern part of Vietnam when we headed to Cat Ba Island. For a day trip, we...

DESCRIPTION   I recently got back form my first trip to Utah, with my good friend Ryan. After driving many many hours from Fernie to the southern corner of Utah, Coral Pink Sand Dunes just outside of Kanab was out first stop. Even though the dunes weren't the...

DESCRIPTION   This summer, we did a hike with some friends called Heiko's Trail. You don't have to stay overnight by any means, but it does make the hike fairly special. I've done this hike once before by myself (or as a lone wolf as I like to say so that I sound...

DESCRIPTION     Earlier in the year, I made a trip to Atlanta, Las Vegas and Death Valley with my friend Riley. On our first day in Death Valley, just before the sun was about the go down we swung into Nabriske Point. Riley had some pent up energy that was...

DESCRIPTION   Since moving back from New Zealand, I've been living in Fernie, BC. Even though I grew up just around the corner from Fernie, there are still tons of places to explore in the area that I've never had a chance to check out. One of those places is...

DESCRIPTION   I couldn't believe how much exploring the areas of Wire Pass and Buckskin Gulch reminded me of Petra in Jordan. Not that I've ever actually been to Petra, but I would imagine that it would look just like this. With the tall red sandstone walls and...

DESCRIPTION   My all time favourite view in the Crowsnest Pass comes from this spot, near the top of Mount Ward. You're able to get Window mountain and Crowsnest Mountain side-by-side, and with the amount of sky in the photo you can get some great night shots or...

DESCRIPTION   Buildings and architecture are always great for having strict patterns, colour schemes, and uniformity. And while the most impressive architecture is usually massive and looming, I sometimes find that all of these fine details can be lost in the...

DESCRIPTION   Just before leaving New Zealand, Hilary and I made one last circuit of the South Island. We made it up to Nelson to do some mountain biking, then came back down the east coast and saw a few last things that we hadn't been able to see in our 15...

DESCRIPTION   I recently got back form my first trip to Utah, with my good friend Ryan. After driving many many hours from Fernie to the southern corner of Utah, Coral Pink Sand Dunes just outside of Kanab was out first stop. Even though the dunes weren't the...

DESCRIPTION   I made a new discovery this past summer. It's a place called Elk Lakes, just north of the town of Elkford. The drive there sucks undeniably, but it's also likely the reason that there aren't tons and tons of people everywhere. In fact, I went to the...

DESCRIPTION   I don't often take photos of strangers when I'm travelling. Mostly because it makes me feel really awkward. But every now and then, there are just moments that I can't pass up. It's also different taking photos of people without shoving a camera in...

DESCRIPTION   One morning, while staying in the Many Glacier campground of Glacier National Park, I woke up early to get some sunrise photos. I had spotted these gnarled limber pines on the hillside the day before, so decided to make that my destination. The...

DESCRIPTION   There's an old shipping town along the coast of Vietnam called Hoi An where all of the streets of the old town are lit up with lanterns. It's getting to be quite popular for tourists to visit because of the magic feeling of the narrow streets and...

DESCRIPTION   After flying the DJI Phantom 4 quadcopter for a long time, I decided to upgrade to the Mavic 2 Pro when it was released. I was tired of carrying around the giant bulky foam case of the P4, and trying to shove everything into a backpack and strapping...

DESCRIPTION   I've always been a big fan of cool buildings and architecture, which is part of the reason why Singapore has made it to the top of the list of my favourite cities in the world. The Bay Sands hotel in this photo is probably the most recognizable...

DESCRIPTION   I'm always impressed with what you can capture with a camera that you simply can't see with your eyeballs. Lots of people are always asking me how to capture places with a photo to look how you remember seeing them with your eyes. And I know that...

DESCRIPTION   Have you heard of the small town in Morocco called Chefchaouen? It's one of the coolest places that I've ever been because there is a section of the town right in the middle that is painted completely in blue, with a bit of white. I've mentioned...

DESCRIPTION   I've lived in Fernie for just over a year now, and one thing that I've come to appreciate is that the fall colours here are exceptional. Because Fernie doesn't get a ton of wind and there are a lot of Tamarack trees, the colours hang around on the...

DESCRIPTION   The landscapes of Utah are some of the most incredible that I've ever seen. And when you get into the air (by that I mean fly a quadcopter and look down at it through the screen of your phone), the landscapes become that much more exagerated. The...

DESCRIPTION   There's a walk in Glacier National Park, Montana, that takes you to Iceberg Lake. I don't want to spoil anything for you, but there weren't any icebergs in the lake when we visited. My guess is that it's one of those time of year kind of things, and...

DESCRIPTION   Have you ever tried macro photography? It's something that I've always found really interesting, but have never really tried much of. So a few months ago I bought a specific macro lens (before this I was using extension tubes which ended up being a...

DESCRIPTION   This last winter, after arriving home from New Zealand, one of the things that I've really gotten into is cross-country skiing. I don't love the sport exactly, and sometimes find it lacks a certain excitement, but it's such a great way to get out in...

DESCRIPTION   After spending 15 months in New Zealand, I'd have to say that one of the things that I really miss is the colour of the water. It seems like every river and lake had a different colour to it and most seemed out of this world. This is Lake Pukaki...

DESCRIPTION   I took this shot when I was driving from Calgary and exploring some back roads looking for abandoned farm buildings. This was just off one of the highways that I drive quite a bit and when I came over the hill and saw the patterns in the fields I...

DESCRIPTION   Can you figure out what's going on in this picture? I'll give you a hint if you're confused at all. Just turn your screen upside down an it'll all make sense. I guess this gets tricky if your screen is bigger than a phone or tablet, in which you...

DESCRIPTION   One of the most popular places to visit in the city of Mandalay, Myanmar, is the U Bien Bridge. We visited the bridge on our last day in Myanmar before we flew out to Thailand the next day. The problem with the bridge is that you can't really see it...

DESCRIPTION   One of my favourite sites from Hanoi, Vietnam, was the Long Bien Bridge. It sits just outside of the Old Quarter and is easy walking distance from all of the other main sights in the city. The best part about the bridge is the train track that runs...

DESCRIPTION   Here's a quick tip. Sometimes you're in a really cool spot, but there are a bunch of people in your shot that kind of ruin it for you right? You can't just crop them out or it'll look wierd, photoshop wizardry won't be able to fix it, and it's in a...

DESCRIPTION   When I graduated university, I decided to take a trip to Morocco as well as a few places in Europe. I couldn't find anyone else that was able to travel with me at the time and almost cancelled the idea, but then realized that I could just go by...

DESCRIPTION   Lately, I've been having trouble not posting pictures of temples in Bagan, Myanmar every week for photo of the week. I just have so many photos from our time there! And out of all of the sunrises and sunsets that we caught, I think this one that I...

DESCRIPTION   One of the most fun and colourful places that I've visited is the town of Hoi An in Vietnam. It used to be a traders port so everything is built along the water and the streets of the old town are lined with really cool old buildings that used to be...

DESCRIPTION   Have you ever seen one of these things before? They are basically a train engine with a giant metal blade on the front of them, so they act like a big shovel to clear snow off of train tracks. I'm not completely sure what you would call them, but a...

DESCRIPTION   This is a photo from Cat Ba Island in Vietnam that I thought was kind of cool. Hilary and I were riding a motor bike along the coast of the island after spending the day exploring. Along the way we stopped to take in the view across the water and...
