Every cyclist has a different reason for pushing the pedals. Some of us are aiming for the horizon. Others are trying to leave something behind. I often wonder about my own reasons, but none of that matters as I set off. It’s good to be back. #ldnont #canada #cycling #firstride #tangerinedream

A simple brick wall, sitting in the same spot for decades, since an unknown mason crafted it into permanence. Some things never change. Or do they? #ldnont #stilllife #monochrome

Like millions of other people around the world, I watched Artemis II leave the planet last night. I thought of Harrison “Jack” Schmitt, Apollo 17 Lunar Module Pilot, who I was privileged to have interviewed early in my career. I hope he enjoyed the show. #ArtemisII #NASASocial

Calli the Wonderschnauzer is no fan of April Fool’s Day. Neither am I. It isn’t funny when the humour is scheduled, obvious, and forced. So instead we’ll take walks and watch moon rockets fly (go Artemis II!) Maybe none of that is funny. But it’s real. And that’s all she cares about. #ldnont

In the fleeting minutes after sunset, the sky puts on the day’s final show. Transcendent colours splay across the horizon, streaked by abstract clouds tracing random characters. So we thank the heavens for allowing us the privilege just this one more time. #ldnont #canada #sunset #cloudspotting

The funhouse-like meat department glass case attracts my eye. The middle-aged employee challenges me to justify myself. Her younger colleague smiles and asks to see the pic. “I feel you, man,” he says Some people get it. Some need a little convincing. #ldnont #canada #grocery

It is as long as a 70-storey building is tall, yet most of us on-shore never give bulk freighters like the CSL Welland much of a second thought, let alone a first one. And still it powers the economy in too many ways to count. So some lakeside reflection was called for. #toronto #canada

Always such an honour to chat tech with the very dean of the craft, @marcsaltzman.bsky.social.

As the sun slowly fades from view, I pause beside the bare-branched maple tree to reflect on the privilege of having been given another day. Under the quiet spectacle of a tree stretching out into the sky that sustains it, I’m reminded that none of this is infinite. #ldnont #canada #sunset

Remember: storms don’t last forever. #ldnont #canada #winter #onstorm

I’ll never understand an industry that stuffs tap water into petroleum-derived bottles, sells it at a scandalous premium, and tries to pass it off as somehow good for the planet. The green tint makes even less sense. #toronto #canada #water #abstract #stilllife

Has tech moved too fast? We’re talking about OpenAI pulling the plug on Sora, and landmark court rulings holding social media companies liable for harms to children and teens with @carmilevy.bsky.social: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/t...

Calli the Wonderschnauzer doesn’t speak English, but she’s still rather adept at communicating what matters most to her. Us. It’s a dog thing; looking out for others first. Because that’s how she’s built. Indeed, that’s how they’re all built. If only we were, too. #ldnont #canada #actofdog

The old street lights are dying one by one, their weirdly yellowish glow slowly giving way to the brighter cast from more modern LEDs. It makes sense, as the replacements are far more efficient. But we leave something behind in our rush to the future. #ldnont #canada

An Air Canada CRJ900 landing at New York LaGuardia after a flight last night from Montreal slammed into a fire truck, killing the pilot and first officer and injuring dozens. This hits close to home, as we’ve flown this airline and type often. The families deserve answers. #ac8646

Why tell silly stories of silly drinks in silly-looking packaging when there are so many more serious stories to tell? Because Planet Earth is a Dumpster fire, and I’m simply trying to find some way to navigate it. As are, I’m guessing, you. #ldnont #canada #grocery #abstract

This is a botched pic, the photographic equivalent of a butt dial, shot in those chaotic moments returning the rental car at the airport before sprinting into the terminal. It’s far from perfect, but it’s a moment that matters all the same. #miami #florida #throwback #toyota #blur

We ran out of dinosaur remnants to power our vehicle, so off we went. The printers at the pump ran out of paper, so inside we went to fetch the receipt. Of course it had to turn into a spontaneous act of abstract photography. Just because. #ldnont #canada #petrocan #abstract #stilllife

There’s one in every forest. That stands alone. That bends under the wind. But does not break. That protects those around them. And is in turn protected by them. That endures the heavy frost of winter to survive to spring. So be the one. #dryden #canada #winter #onstorm #throwback

Black Hawk. Not remotely down. When UH-60Ms fly back and forth for hours because of a cryptically worded law enforcement message about a “tactical situation” in the region, we grab our cameras for a little photographic fun. Fly safe, friends. #sunnyislesbeach #florida #usarmy #throwback

Deep in the valley in the deepest winter, the creek flows silently under multilayered ice seemingly laid down by a jeweller. So we lean into a scene intricately painted by invisible forces while everyone else is busy being busy. #ldnont #medway #abstract #monochrome #stilllife

As the storm intensifies outside, unassuming icons of the community stand ready as safe havens. Maybe a bagel or a quick snack. Or the dream of getting away to somewhere warm. Or a meal from home and a gentle chat over tea. Not remotely unassuming, then. #toronto #canada #streetscape

This isn’t the first time I’ve shot dead fish in a store, and it likely won’t be the last. Because weird is where we go when blink-or-you-miss-it moments of photographic whimsy offer temporary refuge from the serious, sad, scary realness of the everyday. #ldnont #canada #stilllife

Our daughter ordered an extra donut for me, just because. She inherited the “just because” gene from her lovely mom. So of course I had to shoot it before I ate it. It didn’t last much longer after this photo was taken. The memory will linger indefinitely. #ldnont #canada #stilllife

We don’t go to the mall like we used to. These liminal spaces have been slowly, sadly hollowed out by e-commerce, economic uncertainty, and generational shifts in priorities. The mall walkers now rule. Yet still we stare at the architecture in wonder. #ldnont #canada #westmount

There are days when the only answer is a jumbled pile of roma tomatoes. I believe today is such a day. There doesn’t need to be a reason. All we need to do is revel in the weirdly random joy of chaotically arranged vegetables. #ldnont #canada #stilllife #fruitography

6 years ago today, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic. As the office shut down, I loaded my bike up and pedalled home through murky uncertainty. I felt the need to shoot weird photos. It’s how we cope, I guess. #ldnont #canada #throwback #pandemic #stilllife

We may or may not get an ice storm tonight. While everyone battens down the hatches, I’m drawn to this image from our last weather event, where the curved branches seemed to speak with each other. It seemed like something worth remembering. #ldnont #canada #onstorm #winter #bokeh

It looks simple. But it really isn’t. Maybe it’s a tiny tree stuck in winter’s grip, or perhaps it’s a person we encounter along the way. Because we’re all reaching higher. Trying to survive the storm. Or just hoping to stay warm until the seasons change. #ldnont #canada #medway #monochrome

Filthy airport windows hide the tarmac as workers prepare darkened planes for destinations unknown. The dirt messes with the autofocus, the scene now a chaotic jumble of muted lights. Not everything is as clear as we wish. Some details are more felt than seen. #toronto #pearson #yyz #abstract

Not so long ago, the ground was frozen, bare branches whistling in the winter wind. The setting sun cast long shadows through the empty valley, painting stark lines in the deep snow under the brilliant blue sky. I just didn’t want to forget it. #ldnont #canada #medway #winter #landscape

Trees wear their scars out in the open. Humans, not so much. Our scars often remain unseen. Something to ponder, perhaps, when we encounter others. Assume they have scars. Assume their stories remain untold. Have some empathy. Please. #ldnont #canada #medway #monochrome #stilllife

The universe doesn’t need a photo like this, and I’m reasonably sure you don’t either. But the universe is a big, sometimes frightening place. So we seek solace in hidden oases where no one else would think to look. The beets are a bit of a bonus. #ldnont #canada #grocery #stilllife

As our national digital intelligence agency warns Canadians of potential Iranian cyber attacks on critical infrastructure, I’ll join CBC Radio stations across the country Thursday morning. We’ll discuss why this is worrisome, and what we must do to minimize our risk. #technology #cybersecurity

When the day dawns foggy, the only option is to head outside and revel in it for a while. The rest of the world can wait a bit. #ldnont #canada #medway #monochrome #fog

There are countless reasons why I don’t often turn the lens inward. Because I have quite the face for radio. Complete with an asymmetric nose, baggy eyes, and a strangely shaped forehead. But sometimes I like what I see. And I don’t want to forget the moment. #ldnont #canada #photowalk #selfie

While the planet burns and we all rage-post about it, I’ll just leave this right here. Because Calli the Wonderschnauzer’s only goal in the moment is to dig in the snow and make sure she isn’t alone. That’s something I think we can all appreciate. #ldnont #canada #actofdog

Months after this forlorn leaf should have been swept off the branch and into oblivion, it still holds on. No one ever told it autumn is long gone. There’s no way to know why it sticks around. Maybe a little mystery is the way it should be. #ldnont #canada #medway #stilllife

In my ideal world, neighbours in this delightful building would sit on their balconies and befriend each other. In the real world, no one sits on porches in a Canadian winter. So the architectural dance plays out in the sky without an audience. #toronto #canada #architecture #monochrome

I have good news for all those who march to the beat of their own drummer, or as seems to be the case here, look just a little different than everyone else. I believe I’ve found your tree. #ldnont #canada #medway #weather #fog

I often remind myself to look up in the middle of the storm. Because just as the snow and wind are at their most intense, they’re also stunningly beautiful. And maybe even spontaneously hopeful. So hold on. Storms don’t last forever. #ldnont #medway #canada #winter #monochrome

In the dead of winter, the river flows gently beneath impossibly thin, near-iridescent layers of ice. It’s a surreal scene, shaped by temperature, wind, and a bit of magic. So I lean over gingerly and squeeze the shutter, knowing all this will soon be gone. #ldnont #medway #monochrome

The day dawns electric in the Great White North as Canada’s men’s Olympic hockey team prepares to take on the Americans in the gold medal game. Maybe they play hockey elsewhere. But they don’t live it like we do. Go Canada. #ldnont #canada #milano2026

Our first date was at a pizza place, a safe choice that avoided salad stuck in my teeth. Eventually she married me, and to this day I can’t eat a slice without thanking the universe that this was how it all started. #ldnont #canada #pizza #stilllife

It takes days for the icicle to painstakingly take form just in front of our front door. And only hours for the forces that created it to change their minds and melt it forever. So we step outside to admire it. Even if no one else will. #ldnont #canada #winter #icicleworks #stilllife

Sorry for the tree theme these days. The planet is a harsh place to be for too many of us, so I find myself seeking refuge in places like this. Where the world can be put on pause for a bit while we wrap ourselves in the quiet majesty of a fog-wrapped valley. #ldnont #canada #medway

We get fog around here. Thick, soupy fog. So a spontaneous wander through the woods was in order. The trees had stories to tell as they both emerged from the murk and were swallowed by it. It made sense to pause amid the hushed silence and just listen. #ldnont #medway #weather #shh

Did you know I had a stroke? I know: I don’t look like a typical stroke victim. February is Heart Month, and I was privileged to join @ctvnewsmontreal.bsky.social's Mutsumi Takahashi to talk about it. Because awareness saves lives. Maybe even yours. @HeartandStroke www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/vid...

Behold my wife’s mug. Because we all deserve to be loved. Because we should all be surrounded by those who feel about us as we feel about them. Because not everyone is so lucky. I am. Which I’ll never take for granted. #ldnont #canada #kitchen #stilllife

Water has no colour of its own, and will happily reflect its immediate surroundings. Which explains why I find myself standing in a deeply chilled valley late in the afternoon looking for inspiration in the nearly frozen creek that runs through it. #ldnont #canada #medway #519london
