I never thought mental health would be my issue. Growing up in GT with family and friends who carried their own burdens, I saw how much mental health mattered. I watched loved ones struggle with anxiety, depression, and all the quiet battles that shape lives. And while I was sympathetic, I always felt – maybe even… Read More
August took an unexpected turn for me. At the beginning of the month, I was struggling. I wasn’t shooting much and was starting to feel pretty burnt out. But then my buddy Duane invited me to join him one morning to photograph some Ospreys. I thought, why not? I’d supply the coffee and I figured… Read More
I must have been around 12 or 13 when I got my first bike. We were living in a squatting area at Good Hope on the East Coast (in Guyana) and I found an old bicycle in a garbage heap that I was determined to salvage. Most of the bike was junk—the wheels were messed… Read More
I’ve been meaning to check out Kensington Market’s Pedestrian Sundays for a while now. My buddy, Charles, raved about it when we first moved to Canada, but I never got around to taking a trip. Until last weekend, that is. And boy, am I glad I did! During the summer months, Pedestrian Sundays transforms Kensington… Read More
After what felt like a very long winter, the weather is finally starting to warm. And I couldn’t be happier – I’ve missed spending time in the outdoors without needing to put on 300 layers of clothing!

Today was supposed to be a great day. My flight was booked, my bags were packed and the warm weather of home was just a few hours away. But, as is often the case, today wouldn’t end up going the way I had imagined. Instead of fussing about airport security and making sure my devices… Read More
As I listened to the tunes of Chris Chambers filling the air, my gaze was drawn to a wooden sign proudly displayed above the bar, boldly declaring the words: “Sit Long. Talk Much. Laugh Often.” “Sit Long?” Don’t mind if I do, I thought. I’m the type who can happily sit and soak in the… Read More
Winter is supposedly mild this year, or so the locals say. I’m still just a newcomer, nodding along, thinking that any sign of ice falling from the sky deserves a collective day off. But nope, life goes on as usual in this peculiar place, where a snow storm is no different from a thunder storm… Read More
I get overwhelmed when I’m not creating. It’s a weird anxious feeling that I struggle to shake and it only seems to go away when I do something creative. And it manifests in weird ways. Sometimes, if I can’t think of something creative to do, (or if I just don’t wanna) I’d fire up Lightroom… Read More
