The last few scenes in tonight’s #Pluribus were fantastic. The DHL Doctor guy crushed it. Cast that dude in more stuff.

So far, #Pluribus is incredibly engaging. Really loving how it seems to be setting itself up to seamlessly move between working as a really intimate character portrait, and a giant, sprawling examination of free will, connection, humanity and all kinds of interesting shit. Excited about this one.

I often find myself missing Colorado, but today I’m just proud of them. So happy they passed a proposition to provide free breakfast and lunch at school, for any kid who needs or wants it. This is what humans are supposed to do: take care of each other. ❤️

A few more shots of Skutz Falls and the annual Chinook salmon migration happening in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island. #photography #wildlifephotography #nature #pnw #raincoast #vancouverisland #britishcolumbia #outdoors #cowichanvalley #cowichanriver #chinook #salmon #fish #heron #landscape

Aggghhh! Nooo! This is too close! C’mon, Jays!

Shots from the Chinook salmon run happening at Skutz Falls, in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island. #photography #wildlifephotography #landscape #vancouverisland #britishcolumbia #cowichan #fish #animals

I went to Skutz Falls today to photograph the salmon spawn in the Cowichan River. Took a gazillion photos. Will be thrilled if 9 of them are in focus. These dudes DO NOT cooperate.

Last batch of photos from a photo walk I took along the Sidney Pier last week. All the little animal buddies were out, enjoying the sun. #photography #wildlifephotography #landscape #animals #riverotter #otter #cormorant #bird #harborseal #seal #sidneyBC #vancouverisland #britishcolumbia

A few more images I took at the Sidney Pier earlier this week. One of the seals who habitually hangs out near the fish market had a pup. Locals have named him Turbo. #photography #wildlifephotography #marinelife #sidneyBC #vancouverisland #britishcolumbia #harborseal #seal #baldeagle #eagle #bird

Took a little photo stroll at the Sidney Pier after work today, and got some nice images of seals, eagles, a rock crab, and my favorite: river otters. #photography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #vancouverisland #sidneybc #britishcolumbia #otter #eagle #harborseal #rockcrab

More photos from a trip to Stamp River Provincial Park on Vancouver Island. #wildlifephotography #photography #nature #animals #wildlife #vancouverisland #britishcolumbia #blackbear #heron #salmon

Some high-stakes drama at work today. This Cooper’s Hawk caught a baby rabbit, took off, and we had to launch a rescue. #photography #animals #wildlife #vancouverisland #BritishColumbia #coopershawk #bunny

Season 3 finale of #Foundation is pulling no punches. Absolute bedlam.

The sheep from #AlienEarth is going hoof-to-hoof with Black Phillip from The VVitch as the world’s scariest grazing animal.

#Andor has been great throughout, but this 2nd season has been exceedingly good. It’s been insanely fun to get a Star Wars story this well written, and beautifully made. I Absolutely can’t wait to see what Tony Gilroy picks for his next project.

Mostly excited, but also oddly nervous to vote in a federal election for the first time EVER! 🇨🇦 #electioncanada

I won’t say anything to spoil the new episodes or #Andor, but I get excited and lean in whenever a character has a “let me tell you something” moment. Tony Gilroy writes a mean monologue.

S2 finale of #Severance was freakin’ bananas. No spoilers, but I think Dan Erickson pulled off some kinda narrative miracle— he heightened every stake, got us even more deeply invested in the characters, and basically gifted the show with near absolute freedom to take the story anywhere they want

A few of my favorite frames I shot for a fishing gear company here on #VancouverIsland #photography #outdoors #britishcolumbia #wildlife #nature #salishsea

There’s a lunar eclipsing happening tomorrow night , which should be fully visible for most of the Americas. This is one I shot in 2015 in Colorado. Worth witnessing with your own eyes, for sure! #lunareclipse #moon #nightsky #timelapse #astronomy #astrophotography #photography #space

Threw together some nice #timelapse clips from #Breckenridge #Colorado to distract myself from the debilitating rage/anxiety spiral that awaits me whenever I try and watch the news. #milkyway #nightsky #stars #longexposure #photography #cinematography

A few snaps from Johnston Canyon in #Banff, #Alberta. #photography #landscape #banffnationalpark #johnstoncanyon

Some camera tests with the #DJIMavicPro3 at #sunset over Iron Mine Bay / Pike Point. Insane having multiple focal lengths with a drone this small. Shots: 70mm, 70mm 2x, 24mm, 24mm #vancouverisland #britishcolumbia #aerialcinematography #drone #cinematography #goldenhour #landscape

Tonight’s #Severance was wrenching. Incredibly impressive directorial debut from Jessica Lee Gagné, who’s been delivering gorgeous, tonally-perfect cinematography since the pilot. She’s an absolute bad ass.

Playing around with an abstract edit of some drone footage I shot at Sheringham Lighthouse just after a winter storm on Vancouver Island’s west coast. #cinematography #aerialcinematography #drone #filmmaking #vancouverisland #britishcolumbia #pnw #canada

Various shots of the moon, at 800mm. #photography #moon #astronomy #astrophotography

I was losing light, so I had to crank the ISO, making a noisy image, but this is still the only pic I’ve managed to get of a #BeltedKingfisher. #photography #vancouverisland #kingfisher #bird #wildlife #britishcolumbia

Nice reflections at the Sidney Pier. #vancouverisland #photography #wildlife #harborseals #britishcolumbia #animals

Apparently, we just had a magnitude 4.8 earthquake on southern Vancouver Island. Every woman in the office noticed immediately, and so far, every man has been like me; an oblivious dipshit.

I lived in the United States for 30 years. Many of my greatest memories and most valuable friendships were made in the US. But I hope Canada beats the ever living shit out of you in hockey tonight.

A few more favorite bits of scenic #AerialCinematography I’ve shot over the last couple years. #cinematography #landscape #colorado #britishcolumbia #cabosanlucas #filmmaking #drone

One of my favorite #MilkyWay scenes I’ve ever shot. The Meyer-Womble Observatory, standing at 14,193 feet in elevation, just below the summit of #MountEvans in #Colorado. This was taken during a snowstorm in AUGUST. #photography #landscape #astrophotography #nightskies #stars #longexposure

My quest to litter this app with pics of my sister’s giant #dog continues. This time, she’s at #LakeMinnewanka in #Banff. #photography #landscape #alberta #wildlife #mountains #canada

Early morning last fall at #LakeLouise in #Banff , on a road trip with my sister, and her giant, adorable #dog. #alberta #banffnationalpark #photography #landscape #mountains #birds #stberner

I shot these #aerial and #timelapse sequences ages ago to use as b-roll in a mini-documentary that never materialized. I loved the footage, but didn't have a place to put it. I finally cut some of my fav bits into a little reel. #astrophotography #nightskies #stars #filmmaking #cinematography

Driving home to Vancouver Island from a road trip to #Banff last fall. Spotted this nice Steller’s Jay near #YohoNationalPark when we stopped to stretch our legs. #photography #wildlife #landscape #bird #stellersjay #alberta #britishcolumbia

A few snapshots from #BowLake and #PeytoLake in the Canadian #Rockies. Driving along the Icefields Parkway between #Banff and #Jasper is some of the most absurdly beautiful scenery in North America. #photography #landscape #alberta #mountains #canada

A Red-Breasted Sapsucker— which sounds like an expletive Yosemite Sam would yell after shooting himself in the foot, reaching for his six gun. It is in fact a #woodpecker, and he has been going to town on this tree in my backyard #photography #birds #redbreastedsapsucker #wildlife #vancouverisland

Had a rough week, so I put together this quick edit of some of my favorite aerial push-ins to remind myself that sometimes, you gotta push through it. #landscape #nature #beauty #cinematography #aerials #drone #arielcinematography

Saw some cool little guys on a short boat ride around the Saanich peninsula. Harbor Seals, a big juvenile Bald Eagle, and a pair of Rhinoceros Auklets, which I’d never seen before. They’re related to puffins. #photography #wildlife #marinewildlife #seals #eagle #aucklet #vancouverisland #salishsea

Had fun goofing around with slow shutter speeds at the Sidney fishing pier. I’d like to try this again with a longer exposure time for streaky-er clouds, which probably means I need stronger ND. #landscape #seascape #longexposure #sunset #photography #vancouverisland #britishcolumbia #sidneyBC

Finally saw Lars and the Real Girl. I thought it was great— sweet and touching, with a lot of charm. A really nice portrait of empathy and compassion. I loved the near total absence of cruelty and judgement. No cheesy face-off with a town bully. Just quiet growth and healing. Good stuff.

I was hoping to shoot a Milky Way sequence here, but got treated to a massive #thunderstorm instead. No complaints! #landscape #lightning #nightskies #astronomy #photography #colorado

Little Qualicum Falls is a beautiful hike year-round, but it’s particularly magical under a layer of fresh snow. #Photography #Waterfall #Snow #Winter #ParksvilleBC #VancouverIsland #Landscape
