These meadows absolutely blew my mind because I have never seen anything like them in my life. Everywhere you look you see alpine flowers and tall pointy trees, surrounded by miraculous mountains and lakes around each bend. Would very much recommend this Hike to Taylor Meadows any day.

This photo is at Brandywine Falls, BC, Canada. I am caught standing in awe, wearing my Grey Wolf Spirithood coat. During this photo, ice sickles were falling off the edge and making this loud hollow banging noise. It was pretty haunting.

The beautiful thing about living in Vancouver is the access to local, beautiful places like this. On this day, I was stressed out, tired and a little down on my luck. My remedy? Grab a Car Share, grab my camera and head out to the mountains for sunset. The result? This beautiful image that I love. Enjoy.

This was one of the most humbling moments of my life. The sheer size of this mountain was incredible. (for comparison those tiny dots right under the rock/snow line on the far right are people). This was actually a glacier you can barely see the opening of a large ice cave near the bottom of the picture.

What a great time to stop at this lookout which is located off of one of the most beautiful highways in Canada, The Sea to Sky. As we arrived at this spot, I was able to capture the amazing glow of the spring sun during golden hour. Mountains have always had a special place in my heart just because they are so fascinating and you begin to realize how small you are on this earth.

The Peak 2 Peak is a world record holding gondola for the longest free span between ropeway towers at 3.03 kilometres. It connects Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, a popular ski resort in BC.

I’ve got a favourite spot for the slopestyle event at Crankworx Whistler. Every year they change the course and the jumps, so it’s always a new shot. This year, it involved a log and some fab little maple leafs.

We were at the top of blackcomb mountain after walking across the suspension bridge surrounded by 360 degrees of mountains and the light hit the blue lake at just the right moment that made me stop in my tracks. It was all my little sony had to zoom in and grab this shot right before the battery died and the lift almost left us at the top of the mountain.

After an intense 4 hour Hike up to Wedgemount Lake, climbing and descending 2400m in only 14 km our legs were completely destroyed. We came across this beautiful lake after the hike and we couldn’t have passed up the opportunity to take some great photos at golden hour. With the trees showing the warm fall colours and the contrast of the blues made for such a calming and beautiful scene

I just got back from a great weekend up in Whistler. I took this photo Friday night at Lost Lake. The moon was two thirds full but it was totally clear so the moonlight really lit up the lake. I normally do not include people in my landscape photos but decided to pose in this one. What do you think? Do you think it is better with me in the photo or if I stayed out of the way?

As I was descending Black Mountain in Cypress, I witnessed some beautiful light diffraction in the air just after the sunset. This gave me a sky graduated in colors from orange to blue. I used my zoom lens to capture this amazing natural effect.

After a hike up in the fog we couldn’t see anything at the top of the mountain, on our descent I turned around to look behind us because the light seemed pretty nice and this is what I saw.

On my hike in BC, I passed through this area - the trees shift happened unexpectedly. At first, you’re in an area of low lying bushes and ferns and then – BAM – 100+ foot tall pines everywhere. It’s a beautiful area to move through and happy I savored the moment.

The grouse grind is unique and definitive of the Vancouver people. To me - the city lacked the ‘umph’ and culture of a special city, but that’s because its surrounded by gorgeous nature in all directions. Why stay in the city on the weekends – the grouse grind exemplifies this outdoorsy spirit. A hike that’s 2.9 km long but during those you gain 853 meters of elevation. Shot this while i still had the energy when the treeline transitioned.

It took me literally ten minutes to take this picture at Lynn Canyon, North Vancouver. That place is so busy that I had to wait about 10 minutes for the people to move out from the scene and make this bridge kind of abandoned.

Everyone’s seen the iconic Capilano Suspension Bridge in Vancouver, BC. What’s less often seen are the views from the tree canopy walk on the other side of the bridge. Hundreds of years-old Douglas Fir trees tower high above you as you make your way from platform to platform. These trees aren’t Redwoods, but don’t be fooled, they’re massive and awe-inspiring all the same.

While driving to Whistler/Blackcomb on a late Friday evening with the hope of taking pictures for the weekend, the roads were deserted and the sun was setting. The highway, Interstate 90, offered few clear views of the surrounding area. As I came around a curve approaching Anvil Island, a brief opening of a view lended itself to see the bay converging with the mountains with the light fading fast. I stood on a jersey barrier the width of a balance-beam off Interstate 90 balanced with the camera over my head and the viewfinder tilted down to frame the shot. Maybe 50% luck, 50% balance.

This bridge is a staple in my hometown of Vancouver. I like to think this image represents the idea of canceling the unnecessary noise on the outside and focusing on the task at hand. Almost like a perspective of ‘tunnel vision.’

I was in Vancouver, BC visiting a college, and my family and I decided to spend the day in Stanley Park. Near the end of the day, as the sun was starting to go down, we walked onto Lions Gate Bridge, and I saw a sliver of light shining on the lighthouse below us, so I pulled out my camera and took a shot before it disappeared.

On this trip to the Tantalus Range I was forced to come to terms with the tradeoff that exists in the high alpine mountains: beauty and danger. One of our teammates fell 40 metres from the face of a mountain to the snow below. He was evacuated via helicopter. This picture was taken hours later. The horror of the fall and the peaceful beauty of the sunset demonstrated that the mountains are indifferent to our presence.
