I have bit of a weakness for single trees standing in the middle of nowhere. I’m also rather partial to fog. The thicker the better. Put the two together and magic happens. At least to me. Because repairing the world - #TikkunOlam - can take any form at all. What’s yours? #ldnont #monochrome

Let’s not mince words: yesterday was an especially difficult day for Planet Earth. So it’s time once again for #TikkunOlam photography, where we share pics that repair the world. Here’s mine (everyone say hi to Calli the Wonderschnauzer.) Now it’s your turn. #ldnont #actofdog

I looked around the neighbourhood yesterday and couldn’t find much colour. So I reached back to October 2022 for a tiny reminder that shades of inspiration remain just as vibrant in our memories. We just have to go digging for them every once in a while. #ldnont #medway

I just got to vote alongside this beauty. It’s a humbling moment that’s denied to too many. May we all be so lucky to cast ballots, walk the neighbourhood streets, or simply dissect the ways of the world with our best friend. #ldnont #ontarioelection #onpoli

What’s in a name? Plenty, apparently. From the Gulf of Mexico to Canadian provincial parks, there’s a lot more to Google Maps than we might have thought. I’ll be joining CBC Radio stations across the country this (Thursday) morning to discuss why this matters as much as it does.

Sometimes I’ll deliberately shoot out of focus. Because not everything needs to be perfectly precise. Because in a world that doesn’t always play fair, it’s perfectly acceptable on occasion to see things not as they are, but as we want them to be. #dryden #throwback #abstract

In the middle of a fog so thick it literally sucks the colour from the street, along comes a school bus to inject some life back into the scene. A reminder that when things look their bleakest, there is still hope. #ldnont #yellow

Deep in the woods after a blizzard, the trees struggle under the weight of a thick blanket of snow. Except it isn’t really a blanket at all. Some branches are completely covered, while others have barely a dusting. All different. Nature gets it. Humanity never will. #ldnont #monochrome #medway

I feel so small down here, pondering the invisible lives secretly playing out behind windows high above. I feel so naive thinking it’s the glass that keeps us from learning more. #ldnont #monochrome

Some days it’s difficult to not feel a sense of existential dread. Today is one of those days. So I snap furtive photos of colorful macarons under glass. Call it my rather trivial attempt avoid the forces of darkness. We all cope in our own way. This is mine. #ldnont #stilllife #TikkunOlam

Some things are black and white. Others are subtle shades of grey. I’m not sure which one this is, but that’s never the point, anyway. Simply looking up and around and being engaged with the world around us. That’s the goal. At least that’s what I keep telling myself. #ldnont

The windblown snow stretches to the horizon, textures carefully carved by Mother Nature’s breath, the waves casting gentle shadows across the pillow-like surface. My fingers ache from the cold as I shoot quickly before turning for home. It was worth the pain. #ldnont #onstorm

When winter redraws the landscape, we owe it to ourselves to take it in before it gets redrawn again. After all, nothing lasts forever. #ldnont #onstorm #monochrome

Canada’s maple leaf flag first flew 60 years ago today. Unfortunately a U.S. president with a disdain for the truth and a dictator fetish now threatens our sovereignty. So we fight the bully off. Otherwise our flag is just some fabric blowing in the wind. #ldnont #flagday #iamcanadian

Frozen reflective wonders often play out close to home, typically presenting themselves when we’re not even looking for them. So we capture them in the fleeting moments before they melt away forever. That time thing again. #ldnont #onstorm #frozen #notthemovie

We’re in the midst of an epic winter storm that’s equal parts cold, miserable, inconvenient, and dangerous. Yet no other season paints the landscape with such a delicate palette. So for just one moment, we immerse ourselves in its hushed magic. #ldnont #medway

The trees gather together high overhead, protecting everything and everyone below. If they can work together against the threatening skies, so can we. #ldnont

We miss a lot more than we gain by dismissing skies that don’t somehow qualify as spectacular. Because the number of skies - and sunrises and sunsets - in our lifetimes isn’t limitless. Because this isn’t just about skies. Thank you for attending my TED Talk. #ldnont #sunset

Our #TikkunOlam photography project continues with Calli the Wonderschnauzer posing for her Westminster Dog Show application photo. Okay, that’s not true, as she’d never qualify for this or any other dog show. But we love her. Nothing else matters. #ldnont #actofdog

On a bitterly cold afternoon, I walk the deserted streets of an industrial neighbourhood. The wind whistles through the electrical wires. A loosely bolted street sign taps out a gentle rhythm. A single goose honks angrily before disappearing into the deep azure sky. #ldnont

After the snow falls, trips still get taken, and lives still get lived. We leave tracks in our wake, tangible evidence, however tenuous, that we were here, that we mattered. Soon enough, though, those tracks will be gone. And then what? #ldnont #winter #abstract

Following yesterday’s entry about my late brother, I wanted to express my profound gratitude to everyone who took the time to respond. Originally I wasn’t sure if I should say anything, but thanks to your overwhelming kindness, I now know it was the right call. Thank you.

My older brother, Ari, would have been 60 today. He was 53 when we lost him, and I am now older than he will ever be. I’m comforted that in his abbreviated life, he left a trail of achievement for others to follow. Yet I’m still haunted. By the not knowing. #mentalhealth #matters

There’s a spot near the rusting sewer grate where paper-thin ice meets gritty asphalt. So we stop what we’re doing and stare intently at the seemingly unremarkable scene halfway between the dog’s sniffling nose and our slush-covered boots. #ldnont #stilllife

Wow! The little #TikkunOlam photography project that we launched yesterday seems to have struck a delightful nerve. So let’s continue… Today, we walk through the trees on a foggy day and allow them to protect us from threats we can and cannot see. Your turn… #ldnont #fog

The world feels a little too dark these days, so I hope you don’t mind if I engage in some photographic therapy. It’s simple: I’ll share photos that make us all happy. Hopefully you’ll share, too. We’ll use the #TikkunOlam (repair the world) hashtag. You in? #ldnont #actofdog

Today, one day before the U.S. imposes 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports, one thing is absolutely clear: this is what happens when misinformation and disinformation are left unchecked. This is also how empires end if the lies continue to flow as they have. #ldnont

Question: what happens when you don’t check the camera’s settings before stepping outside to shoot the icicles? Answer: an unplanned 8-second handheld exposure in all its blurry glory. In other words, an abject failure of a shot. But is it really? #ldnont #abstract

It’s been 32 minutes since the sun disappeared beneath the cloud-covered horizon, so I’ve hung around the frozen park just in case the skies allow the light to break through one last time. It’s called hopeless optimism, and apparently I suffer from a severe case of it. #ldnont

Snow isn’t always pristine. Soon enough it gets walked on, thrown, trampled, its once-perfect surface transformed into something imperfect. I decide the after is even more worthy of attention than the before. And stories should be told before they disappear forever. #ldnont
