I was on my way back from hiking up Bornite Mountain and decided to look below this road side stream on a whim. It was one neat little stream filled with old debris littered as far down as I could see.

The infamous Ripley Creek Inn, our lodge based out of Stewart (B.C.). It takes about 2h to drive from Stewart to Bell 2 Lodge.
The forest behind my cabin looks awesome right now. Here is my impression, through a manipulated photo, of the beauty there.
One of the numerous wet channels that extend at right angles outward from the Alaska Highway in the boggy lowlands between Fort Nelson and Fort St. John. This part of ortheastern British Columbia is very wet and a seemingly great environment for hoardes of mosquitos.
Photo taken with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 and M.Zuiko 12-40mm f/2.8 Pro, hand held. All post processing was performed in DxO PhotoLab 5.4.x.
Creative Note: As with all my photos, unless otherwise stated, nothing has been removed or added to the image. I never replace elements such as the sky or other objects in the composition. What you see is as near as possible to what I saw. For me, the challenge is finding the beauty that already exists in the world. Some images may be cropped or straightened somewhat in post, and I do tweak the light and exposure to reflect the memory in my mind's eye.

Finding magic, deep in the old Growth forest.
We found a new trail on our last visit to Atlin, and just knew that it would be the place to go when the autumn colours came. We weren't wrong. I took this photo about half way along the trail. The autumn colours were at their height and the valley was so beautiful it could take your breath away. I converted this image from raw with a few minor tweaks to exposure and colour. That's it. Again, what you see is as close as I can get to what I saw.

The sunsets over Atlin are often remarkable. This one was mild in comparison to the following night, but it did add atmosphere to the lake front scene where the MV Tarahne rests. This is a three exposure HDR which I have carefully processed to offer the best sense of the scene as I remember it.
The natural beauty of north eastern British Columbia is hard to describe. Better to just look and gauge it for yourself.
This photo was taken with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 and M.Zuiko 12-40MM F/2.8 Pro hand held. I also employed a circular polarizing filter to cut reflections in the water and reveal the wonderful natural colours that exist everywhere in this magnificent wilderness. The final image was converted from raw with very minor tweaks in DxO PhotoLab 5.3.X. With this photo, what you see is pretty much what the camera recorded.
Photos from Matt & Kate's winter rowboat engagement session at a small lake near Prince George BC.
It was a perfect early winter day, and the calm water and snowy trees really added to the look of their session. It was so much fun and we can't wait to do more sessions like this next year.

Some of my favourite photos from a recent fashion photography session in Prince George BC.
We absolutely love being able to do these types of fun and creative sessions. Especially when we get to incorporate some of the vintage dresses from our collection.

This is the first real view of Atlin that you see as you turn off the Atlin Road and onto the street that leads downtown. I took this early in the morning as the rising sun was beginning to light up the buildings and the tops of the local mountains. This town is so isolated that you could go 500 miles in almost any direction and encounter pretty much nothing other than mountains, trees, lakes, rivers, or the ocean. If you were lucky, you'd eventually hit Whitehorse, Carcross, or Juneau, but that's about it really.

Speed is your best friend when the conditions get deep. It allows for quick maneuvers through tight trees while maintaining the body and the skis on top of the low density snow.

Land by the Portland Canal at the border of Alaska and contemplate the beauty of the West Coast at proximity of Stewart, home of our second heliski base.
While out exploring in Northern BC this past 10 days, I encountered a lot of this type of scene - was hard to actually get anywhere with stopping every few feet. Was so nice to be back in the area where I grew up and hiked when I was younger - one really appreciates this when they are no longer living in the area :)
Khutzeymateen (K'tzim-a-Deen) Grizzly Bear Sanctuary
Prince Rupert, BC
It has almost been a year since my trip to Northern British Columbia to photograph Grizzly Bears in their natural environment. I hope to return again someday.
Downtown Atlin is characterised by old wooden buildings, a few more modern structures and mother nature. From the mountains, and hills to the rhubarb and wild flowers that grow everywhere, Atlin really is a uniquly beautiful town where everything is connected.

The A-Star has become the helicopter of choice for many backcountry operations across the globe. Its outstanding manoeuvrability makes technical landings possible, even on narrow mountain peaks.
A closeup photo of the wedding rings. I put them in the archway that was built for the wedding ceremony for a perfect winter ring closeup.

I believe that this is Saxifraga tricuspidata, Three-toothed, or Prickly Saxifrage. It is a beautiful flower not uncommon in this part of the world. I photographed this bunch just inside the boreal forest off the Warm Bay Road near Pine Creek in Atlin.

One of my favorite photos from an amazing winter wedding we photographed in January, on a beautiful winter wedding day in Prince George BC. There was a fresh snowfall the night before, creating the perfect backdrop for their photos.

This was the first time I had my camera out and hadn't adjusted the date... it was actually July 6th, 2013 and somewhere between 1 and 3 in the morning.

Perfectly spaced trees, leaving you with plenty of room to express your creativity.
This landscape around Dawson Creek really appealed to me. There were so many compositions just waiting to be explored. In many ways, this landscape reminded me of the landscape of southern Alberta, where I lived for a time as a child. It felt comfortable, and strangely familiar. I could definitely enjoy roaming the hills of Northwestern BC for a long time.
Photo taken with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 and M.Zuiko 12-40mm f/2.8 Pro, hand held. All post processing was performed in DxO PhotoLab 5.3.x, and in Nik Silver Efex Pro 3.
Creative Note: As with all my photos, unless otherwise stated, nothing has been removed or added to the image. I never replace elements such as the sky or other objects in the composition, and I avoid cloning out inconvenient elements, although in this case, I did remove a very small length of power line in the upper left corner. What you see is as near as possible to what I saw. For me, the challenge is finding the beauty that already exists in the world.

The Alaska Highway travels through some pretty gorgeous but remote and unforgiving country. It has changed a great deal since I first travelled it in the mid 70's, and probably bares little to no resemblance to the original military road that shares its name.
Unfortunately, as the highway has been straightened, improved and paved, the need for many of the lodges that festooned its length and provided much needed respite for those travelling on older versions of the trail has diminished. In some cases, they were abandoned when the road shifted, in other cases, the owners may have died, moved on, or simply given up. This photo was taken on the site of one of those many boarded up and decaying vestiges of the past.
Photo taken with the Olympus OM-D E-M1 and M.Zuiko 12-40mm f/2.8 Pro hand held. Image processing was performed in DxO PhotoLab 5.3.X and in Nik Analog Efex Pro. I hope you like the result.

I believe that I photographed this Grizzly somewhere north of Sikanni Chief off the Alaska Highway. There was a nice big pull-off, which I drove onto for a rest. When I got out of the truck, there was another gentleman from the Yukon taking pictures with his mobile phone. He pointed down the hill beside the road and said, "there's a big bear down there." I looked over the edge, and sure enough, this fellow was sitting in the greens chewing away. He was a big beautiful cinnamon coloured grizzly, and he was quite content eating these flowering plants.
