“What the heck is that?” were the first words that popped out of my mouth on the day I first laid eyes on the Jobu Lightweight Mk III gimbal. I was deep in the Great Bear Rainforest, on Day 1 of my 2011 Spirit Bear Photography Tour, and one of my clients, Garry, had set […]
While it may be disappointing to many of you, I am finally back here on my blog to report that I am indeed still alive, debunking once and for all the rumours of my demise at the jaws of a pack of ferocious wolves (or was it under the crushing weight of 50 kegs of […]
After last week’s tragic wolf deaths in Banff, I figured it was high time for some good news from our mountain parks. Over the past few weeks I’ve had the good fortune to run into two of my favourite bears in Banff National Park, the twin grizzly bear cubs that were orphaned last spring when […]

Hi everyone! Just a quick post today to ask you to please go vote for the next Canadian Geographic Cover, which includes one (or two or three) of my images as a cover choice. I’m not going to tell you which ones are mine (though you may recognize one…or two…or even three), so may the […]
