Wonderful initiative I hope succeeds, grows and replicates across this land. These Reporters Aren't Giving Up on Local News via @thetyee.ca thetyee.ca/Opinion/2025...

I have a some resident Anna’s hummingbirds that rely on me to keep my feeder topped up and I’m happy to do so! It’s amazing their beaks evolved so quickly to this style of feeder. www.npr.org/2025/05/23/n...

Four shots from neighbourhood explorations of Minneapolis, MN. Inspiring place to visit, so much water and greenery amongst the suburbs too. #photography #mpls #fujifilm #27mm #travelphoto #midwest #fujixe3

Mind those apex predators when you're in the Rockies! It didn't make it into my story, but there was a CBC report of a bear being euthanized at the 2002 G8 Summit when it got too close to the security perimeter. The only casualty from the event. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

I love this global justice movement time capsule in @thetyee.ca. Images & words about the last time the G7 came to Kananaskis from @davidniddrie.bsky.social thetyee.ca/Culture/2025...

As a comparison to the 2002 G8 event I wrote about this weekend, here is a media report on protests in the city of Calgary as the G7 comes back to the Kananaskis this week. #g7summit #kananaskis #g7 globalnews.ca/news/1124308...

I've been scrolling #nokings footage all weekend. Relatedly/unrelatedly, it was a pleasure to work with @davidniddrie.bsky.social on this Weekender photo essay for @thetyee.ca featuring images from the 2002 G8 protests in Calgary. 🧵 thetyee.ca/Culture/2025...

Have a look at my new piece out in The Tyee today. A photo essay looking back at the G8 protests in 2002 as world leaders gather in Alberta again next week. Shot on 35mm slide film with some words to accompany. #photography #activism #35mm #g7summit #photojournalism

Two new in-camera multiple exposures from Locarno Beach, Vancouver. Playing around with the texture underfoot and the vistas in the distance. Part of an ongoing series of art prints I've been working on. #photography #artprint #photoprint #multipleexposure #fujix #vancouver #artoutloud

Power to Sly Stone, an all-time musical hero & inspiration. Simply a stone-cold genius, his work in funk/soul/rnb/psychedelia remains as one the best musical runs of the time. The album Stand! may as well be a greatest hits lp but There's A Riot Going On is deep & powerful on so many levels. RIP.

Here's my blog post and some extra shots from the Walker Art Center and Sculpture Garden in #Minneapolis blog.davidniddrie.com/2025/06/09/m... #mpls #photography #photoblog #travelphoto #fuji27mm

A Bicitaxi owner poses with his ride in Havana, Cuba. Just the right speed for these streets, he’ll get you where you need to go in style. #photography #portrait #bici #cuba #havana #travelphoto

Here is a tiny sample of the remarkable images made by the master of storytelling & #photography, Sebastião Salgado. RIP to this endless inspiration. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Festival poster for #Lollapalooza 1997. First time seeing a show at the incredible Gorge, WA. Korn had to cancel and it was quite a mixed bag lineup but not bad for just $30.00. Times sure have changed with people financing festival tickets (60% at the recent #Coachella). #music #throwback #festival

Lush forest walks in my local park - Pacific Spirit here in Vancouver BC. The brightest of greens in the rainforest at springtime. #photography #snapshot #iphone #wilderness #westcoast

Yesterday in Beautiful British Columbia, Sea to Sky region. Spring in the Coast Mountains is something to behold. #photography #landscape #mountains #westcoast #wilderness #seatosky #outdoorphotographer

The Raven, take two… portrait of a bird. A second shot of this same noble Raven shown yesterday, taken on Vancouver’s North Shore mountains. #photography #wildlife #raven #vancouver #canon #mountain

One of the greenest, most lush places I have been - along the Rio Dulce in Guatemala on the boat to Livingston. Check the white egret bottom left. Taken in 2011. #guatemala #photography

Latest thrift store haul - a few names I wasn’t familiar with (Sonny Fortune, Billy Hart) and some exciting want list finds (TH!). Loving these jazz LPs - super fine grooves all round. #vinyl #vinyllover #music

AI-Generated "political ratings" on opinion pieces in the LA Times. Gee what could go wrong? How it started: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Nice move. A regular, seasonal Buy Nothing Day is a great idea. Don’t forget the big one on Black Friday, an annual event since 1992. Support local!

My two Roberta Flack records are old and scratchy and I think they sound just perfect. Especially on a rainy day like today. First Take and Chapter Two - choice & essential albums. RIP legend.

City of Vancouver could also choose Mobi, whose e-scooter system would integrate with existing bike share racks already part of our urban environment. Was a shame they were passed over for the big American company, instead of a made in Vancouver program. vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/02/21/c...

Cycling to school was one of the great pleasures of growing up for me, so good to see the Bike Bus making gains. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Afrofuturist & Sun Ra Arkestra leader Marhsall Allan celebrates 70+ years of making music with the release of his DEBUT solo album... at 100 years of age. His new single features the one and only Neneh Cherry. Wow, life goals. consequence.net/2025/01/mars...

This is very good news for Canadian Media.

Vancouver sea side cycling on one of the shortest days of the year. Not bad!

Two shots from #Cholula, #Mexico. Love the look of these doors, I wonder what the style is called?

Posted a few more shots from Cholula, Mexico from a visit last spring. Very cool, very old city! #flickr #travelphoto #mexico www.flickr.com/gp/bhlubarbe...
