Well, it wasn’t exactly two ships passing in the night, but the formation of the Canada Geese through the haze the other evening did, to these eyes, somewhat mirror the ship resting in Vancouver’s waters. The lighting and muted surroundings reflect the impact of provincial wildfires on our city.

In addition to meeting good and interesting people, the work I do positions me to explore parts of this globe I may not otherwise have had the opportunity to see.
Here, a look at Abbey Park and the River Soar in lovely Leicester, England this Spring. I had three or so free hours, and filled them with a walk through the high street and then on to the park.

I’m getting a late start, but 2019’s Christmas cards will soon be on their way. Am grateful to have photographed Notre Dame’s interior when I did.

I had a brief visit to Windsor and Eton this May, and am looking forward to returning next year. The original castle dates back to the 11th century.

We were utterly spoiled for weather in Vancouver last week. Today, it’s not cold but neither is is sunny; you can’t even see the mountains today.

There are days like today when I could kick myself for heading out without my SLR ... and then I remind myself that I’m fortunate to enjoy these sights in the first place. It was breezy at Kits Beach this morning, with high, choppy waters and scorers who provided entertaining insights on group dynamics. NB: I didn’t shoot in b/w; that’s just the light ... and the winds were good; they brought in a beautiful afternoon!

A second collection of memories from #ExecSecLIVEAtlanta

Sending appreciation to all the delegates, organisers and fellow speakers who made #ExecSecLIVEAtlanta a conference to remember! This was an impressive event held by master hosts at @thewhitleyhotel.
This is the first of a series of posts, which can’t begin to capture the positive energy and friendships new and renewed in Atlanta.

There are other factors, but the ability to walk to spectacular November sunset sights and sounds such as these is among the reasons Vancouver is such an expensive city in which to live

Repeatedly photo bombed by a curious pigeon at @wwtslimbridge this last May! What a fascinating cast of characters living there; I’ll be returning.
