A Fav Photo... Another night and another #war that started around now; 4 years ago? Another far-away war that I felt, for once, because Ukrainian women moved to my street with their little kids. No men & no boys over 16. And here we go again... #photography #yeg #classicmono #bnw #blackandwhite

Oh I know... how about more bokeh, less bloodshed. #photography

'Highlight'... A lost red balloon, in a forest, from atop of a bridge. (*emphasis mine.) #Photography #BNW #BlackandWhitePhotography #Monochrome #AlphabetChallenge #WeekHforHs #ClassicMono #PhotographersOfBlueSky #EastCoastKin #yeg #forestfriday #BWFri

Can't wait for tonight's State of the Hallucination...

The State of Our Union... Captain America at the back, bear souvenirs in the front. In a Canadian mountain town gift shop window. #Canada #Photography #AnimalArtTuesday #OutofPlace

PV Sunrise... I ran around in Puerto Vallarta for a week last year with my camera; alone & oblivious as is my way. (Oblivious isn't quite true; watchful is more true.) Prior, I ran outside in Canada for 13 years and was only attacked twice. In PV I saw little unrest. I hope #calm returns. #sunrise

It's Part of The Landscape... There's always a net on something frozen. #Canada #Photography #scape #stunday #hockey #photographersofbluesky #photographersunited #art

"Let It All Burn..." Wayne Gretzky watching a car fire on Wayne Gretzky Dr. (It's my first meme.)

Yummy Snow Dollops... Fresh snow in Jasper National Park. 👇 shorturl.at/QNAIM ______________ #SaturdayMono #EastCoastKin #Snowscape #Scape #Minimal #LandscapePhotography #WestCoastKin #ClassicMono #Blackandwhitephotography #Photography #Nature #Noiretblanc #Alberta #Fineart

My Grandma was a Greek immigrant. Came to #Canada after the war. By ship. Alone. Thought she had a brother in Montreal. She didnt. He'd moved to London, ON. She headed there by bus. Alone. Later she met a French man. They had my mom. French & Greek. My mom said we were 'Freeks'. She wasnt wrong.

Red is the colour of life — it's blood, passion, beginnings, endings, love, cheeks, and cracked lips. Red is a warning, a distraction and a seduction, all at once. #Photography #ForestFriday #Red #Woods #Landscape #Nature #EastCoastKin #Winter #LandscapePhotography #yeg #Prairie #Winter

When your car's heater is screaming in perfect pitch with your own screaming — that's Canada, to me. #canada

Day Job Win... Big thanks to Spartan Controls for a $5,000 donation for Inner City's hot lunch program. They are also sending cereal for 'Cereal Day' on March 7 — a pick-up truck load of cereal donated by employees. #yeg #community #charity #giving #edmonton #thanks 👇 innercity.ca/make-a-donat...

No Alleluias Given... "Alleluia" is not said during Lent because it's a joyful acclamation and #Lent is a solemn season of penitence. (I'm wearing 2 hair shirts today, myself.🥶) #UrbanGaze #Photography #streetphotography #EastCoastKin #Photography #yeg #Classicmono #bnw #Blackandwhitephotography

A Hunter, For My Dad... who was also a hunter. Back in the day, he put down his long gun and picked up a camera. He taught me to hunt with a camera using short lenses & film. The hard way. I miss him. #wildlifewednesday #waterfallwednesday #nature #coyote #winter #yeg #photography #eastcoastkin

I thought somebody said it was the year of the 'fire hose' and I thought, man that's just too perfect... #tinnitus

Flashing back.... to a warm sunrise in June 2023 when I captured this scene. It was a bit smoky, but that added to the atmosphere. I sold this today to a couple who have recently moved out of Edmonton but wanted a #river memory. #UrbanGaze #urbannature #Photography #yeg #beauty 👇 shorturl.at/SP70O

My wife can't stop measuring our kids, who are fully grown now. #ColorADay #BlueTues #moms

It's a #snow day here. Winter is back, reminding everybody who's the boss in February. This image is from a cold excursion to #Kelowna a couple of years ago. A statue endures falling snow at a winery. #ColorADay #BlueTues #EastCoastKin #Photographersunited #Photography #Art #Blueskyartshow

I'm a Quitter... I quit smoking 6 years ago. To celebrate, my wife took me to a 'sound bathing' event. You lay in the dark with others & you're "bathed" in sounds from gongs & chimes. I just lay there, listening to everyone sleeping, & felt how sore & lucky I am to still be alive. #photography #bnw

On This Day... yes, today, in 1856, Charles Darwin hated every wave on the ocean...and it didnt stop there. #spiritanimal #february

A River Valentine... I saw this recently while running, on another #stunday. I took the shot from a bridge for my #hope photos but it has clear #love connotations & cupid is probably still flying around today, dodging drones. Photography is love & luck. #photography #Eastcoastkin #yeg #Nature

Camouflaged... Overgrown trees obscure a #wood settler building, on farmland on the prairie. #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #Monochrome #blackandwhitephotography #photography #Alberta #blueskyartshow #bnw

So February... The shortest desperate month — with a little love in the middle. #photography #scape #PhotographersUnited #Sunset #outdoors #thelittlethings #photohour #EastCoastKin #prairie

A Valentine, Naturally... slipping in one image for #forestfriday — saw this heart shape skiing once. You see it? (Not manipulated.) I ❤️ winter forests... #photography #nature #love #beauty

A Speck of Coyote... I like where I live because the spaces are just so enormous. There's a calm monotony about the land. It often takes my whole attention just to get back home. #Wildlife #Nature #Photography #Animals #Coyote #PhotographersUnited #Photo #EastCoastKin #Scape #yeg

Crooked Mary... in a vent, on wall, with missing plaster making a big cross. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekFforFramed #Photography #Bluesky #Stilllife #Urbangaze #Random

5 (Micro-Second) Compositional Rules... #1: Leading Lines #2: Rule of Thirds #3: Negative Space #4: Horizon Line #5: Symmetry & Patterns. #ColorADay #RedWed #HumansOfBluesky #Photography #Streetphotography

'The Cat Burglars'... My newest idea for a buddy-movie screenplay. She's little and acrobatic and he's the muscle. #pets #cats

More Framed Art... (less everything else.) Got asked to mount six of my local #Edmonton framed photos in the common areas of a Professional Centre that was recently renovated. That's me, working out a placement. #art #artyear #photography #yeg #weekFforframed #alphabetchallenge

Just want to say: I sure love my dog. #dogs

Trees, Birds, Snow... Make for a very mid-February Monday scene. #BlueSkyMonday #FebruArty #Flock #Birds #Photography #Nature #Trees #yeg

Love, love, love this. Hope is an act of courage; an energetic missive to all.

I'm breaking my one photo post pattern today. On Friday, I attended a workshop that asked for submissions around 'hope'. We were asked to write a letter about hope. I said I'd rather send #photos. I've been looking for hope out on the streets for some time and I work selling #hope in my day job.

Coyote in Sunlight... below me on river ice, framed by bridge shadows. #classicmono #bnw #wildlife #photography #animals #yeg #minimal #nature #eastcoastkin #edmonton

One for My Old Doctor... (wherever she is) Two years ago she told me to start lifting weights. "Not a lot, Jeff. Don't overdue it. We both know you often overdo it..." Narrator: He over did it.

Weak Warm Winter Light... I was spared from a job cut due to funding weirdness this week; just being asked to work harder with less. Sounded like the future to me. #BlueSkyArtShow #Sunlight #Photography #Scape #PhotographersUnited #Nature #Outdoors #thelittlethings #photohour #EastCoastKin #yeg

A Little (False) Spring In Your Step... A fake-spring was blooming on Jasper Ave. this week. It won't last. When February air in Edmonton doesn't hurt your face, it's a #win. Go for stroll. Jump a few puddles. #streetphotography #yeg #urbanphotography #streetart #mural #infrared #photography

The Next Move... This photo makes me miss my Dad. He died this month six years ago, on Family Day, because the cosmos like irony. Some old men remind me of him. Old men like to ponder... #photography #streetphotography #monochrome #bnw #humansofbluesky #blackandwhitephotography #yeg

Opportunity Rover on Mars... (& back here we're selling selling Propane for cooking on Earth.) That rover explored Mar's Meridiani Planum. Like me, it set new endurance records. #UrbanGaze #ColorADay #YellowThu #PhotographersOfBlueSky #EastCoastKin #Streetphotography #Edmonton #Streetart #Stilllife

My whole midweek-vibe in one photo. (The warm temps caused our old Halloween pumpkin to deflate on this outdoor pot holder. I laugh every time I look at it.) #weirdwednesday #wackywednesdayart #photography

Thaw It All... temptation, toilet paper, hope, sin — and a lot of puddles... downtown had it all. A few Images from a 13 km run yesterday before dusk, through the city. #photography #edmonton #thaw #urbangaze #streetphotography #runtography #citylife #canada #yegdt

Tron... "That's the thing about perfection it's unknowable yet in front of you the whole time." — Tron: Legacy #BlueTue #Photography #EastCoastKin #yegdt #Tron #Leadinglines #Blueskyartshow

Bad Bunny... I am hoping to give a talk to local poets in spring about how I see poetry and photography as artistic siblings. One way they diverge, is around timing. #TagTuesday #photography #graffiti #shapeshifting #animalarttuesday #EastCoastKin #PhotographersUnited #PhotographersOfBluesky #yeg

The Cornstalk Moon... It's actually called 'the Snow Moon' — or maybe it's a super moon now, because we need to super-size everything — even the moon. Personally I just want special light that turns the cornstalks pink. #BlueSkyMon #ColoraDay #PinkMon #Moon #Photography #Eastcoastkin #FebruARTy #Art

One other one for #stunday... Sometimes, for a few minutes, the clouds are very heavy with colour. I like that. If I I see them like that, and dont have a camera, I press down with my index finger and say 'click'. #skys #photography #clouds #click
