Paid by my photography art this morning.... I love starting my day like that. Nothing more micro-business than making and selling your own art. I high-fived my eye. #art

Everything is Breaking... I've gone through a bad patch of things breaking lately, faster than I can repair them. Now I'm coming to see it as a feature, not a bug. Maybe its a modern pattern — that just caught up with me? #WindowsOnWednesday #WallsOnWednesday #Photography #ArtYear #Fotografie #MyArt

The Rain... is still rocking it here today. #RockingTuesday #Landscape #Landscapephotography #Nature #Naturephotography #Outdoorphotography #Nationalparks #CA #ECK #photography

'Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit...' First words of the month, for luck. But the word rabbit was often used in expletives, too. The superstition may be a survival of the ancient belief in swearing as a means of avoiding evil. #BlueSkyMonday #June #Photography #YEG #Skies

Unsettled... Turning up the Ansel Adams to 11. #Stunday #Photography #SilentSunday #ClassicMono #Emptiness #Alberta #Landscapes

Day Job Update.... Thanks to Edmonton YMCA's Ashton, Joleen and Karen for helping me lock-in 2 free swim visits for students in Inner City's 'Outdoor Education' class. This is a year end outing party for the class. This is the second year the Y has helped us. #communitysupport #notforprofit #YEG

On The Edge... The yellow rain warnings are up so I cleaned my eaves yesterday. We need the rain but I so don't need a flooded basement. I also just chased a juvenile coyote down my street, coffee in hand. No cats for you today, buddy. #Scape #Stunday #SkySunday #YEG #Skyline #Photography

Thanks for the haircut... prepare to die. #caturday

Never Mind The Bollards... (Sask Drive, Edmonton) #Alphabetchallenge #WeekUForUniform #Photography #YEG #ClassicMono

Mustard Chair and Purple Lilacs... Ran by this yesterday, on a sidewalk, in the late day heat. Rickety but pretty — which is about the best you can hope for ultimately. #Photography #ColorADay #YellowThu #BlueSkyArtShow #YEG #Random #Objects #UrbanGaze

Smart people believe in circumstance; street photographers believe in dumb luck. (Case in point: a cute dog posing in an alley off Whye Ave.) #dogs #photography #chance #streetphotography #alleys #pets #YEG

My Daughter Graduates... from high school, last night; this was her grad uniform. Class of 2026. I scoped out this spot by the hall for a quick picture at intermission. #HumansOfBlueSky #AlphabetChallenge #WeekUforUniform #PhotographersOfBluesky #Photography #YEG #ECK #Portrait #Urbangaze

My Daughter... At sundown. “It's all a series of serendipities with no beginnings and no ends. Such infinitesimal possibilities Through which #love transcends.” ― Ana Claudia Antunes 📸 In Profile at Sunset • Canada #Stunday #ImageAndVerse #ColoraDay #Orangesun #Beauty #Dusk #YEG #May

Sold... A custom framed canvas print, with a varnish finish, shot and made in #Edmonton by a local production shop. Image by me. For a family home. That's me. Send a razor. #art #photography #bridges #highlevel #Yeg

A homeless man reads the Bible on a bench. The passage on the page that caught my eye is Hebrews 3:13: "But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called 'Today' ”. Running with a #camera lifts me up and often hurts my heart. #Urbangaze #HumansofBlueSky #Books #Photography #ECK #YEG

Am I the only one who's seeing a lot of wrestling trending in Bluesky?

Me... 2018. Low tech. A curved mirror over a shipping door and a iPhone SE with the back camera, 4.15mm. I was 51. That was my most creative year with a camera. #selfie #lookup #bluesky #photography #YEG #lofi #lowtech

'There is pain in staying the same and there is pain in changing. Pick the one that moves you forward.' [Also, there's time and there's timing. They are connected but different. Especially in #photography.] ✌️ #Timing #Alphabetchallenge #WeekTforTime #Streetphotography #YEG #Skylines #Composition

I made a new Public Collectors postcard! The text is extracted from something I posted here about 6 months ago. The design came to me in a dream (or night of bad sleep). Mail them to friends who need a creative nudge to self-publish. They are 4 for $3.00 from halfletterpress.com/leave-a-reco...

Early Treat... I picked this image of an osprey eating breakfast on a tie-up pole because it was such a calm image. Calm mornings with a side of mist are good medicine. #Morning #Minimal #Photography #ClassicMono #BlackandWhite #BlueSkyArtShow #Scape #Zen #PhotographersOfBluesky #ECK #Nature #Tao

Just Over That Mountain... Behind Johnston Canyon, Banff, Alberta, #Canada (2015). Shot with a Pentax K3 while channeling my inner Ansel Adams. (Title also a 1993 album by Skydiggers.) ✌️ #Scape #BwFri #Classicmono #Mountains #Alpine #ECK #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #Nature #NationalParks

Cleaning It Forward... Dayjob update - Downtown Rotary gave the school I work at a generous donation for grad & the food program (again), so I ran down and helped them clean a city park on Saturday, with the Downtown Community League. People from all walks of life pitched in. Even the MLA. #yegdt

Springing Forward... I usually post my images following #photography themes from big image accounts. Today, I thought I'd share a couple of local images of spring, or what passes as spring, in #Edmonton. These caught my eye while running in the #wild. The Alt has #thecampfire story on each image. ✌️

“We don't "come into" this world; we come out of it, as leaves come from a tree. Each of us is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the universe.” ― A. Watts For my son, Tay. It's his birthday. #Photography #Nature #Landscape #Forestfriday #Scape #ECK #Eastcoastkin #Tao

Red Dress Day... Today was #RedDressDay and, at the inner city school where I work, we honoured the lives of missing and murdered #indigenous women, girls and 2SLGBTQI+ people, to raise awareness & say their names. We remembered & recommitted to action. I took the picture. #photography #YEG #yegdt

A Minimal Monday... in May. #blueskymonday #photography #eck #minimalmonday #banalscrolling #YEG
