It had been a few years since I’d been home. Life got busy (as it does), travel became complicated and before I knew it, months turned into years. But with my immigration issues sorted (for now) I made a trip back home at the end of 2025. There was no big plan – I didn’t… Read More
Out Here Feels Good
I grew without electricity, running water, or indoor plumbing and swore to never go back – so why on earth would I now pay to sleep in a tent? I was born in Guyana and lived there my whole life there until moving about three years ago. My parents are from the North West area… Read More
A Snowstorm, A Flu, and A Surprisingly Good Day!
I’m nursing a a case of the flu as I write this. It’s not a knockout punch, but it’s landed a few solid hits. Combine that with the relentless snowstorm we’ve been dealing with, and this weekend, all I wanted to do was stay in, wrapped in a blanket, doing nothing. So, on Saturday, that’s… Read More
Peaks, Pines, and Peace: Reflections from a Slower Adventure
It used to be that when I thought of adventure, I pictured hurtling down a rocky trail, dirt flying behind me. The sound of tires on gravel, the rush of wind in my face – everything a blur as I raced down mountainsides. But standing beneath the moss-laden trees of Vancouver, breathing in the thick,… Read More
Light. Dark. Light Again.
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
New Discoveries: Wildlife Photography
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
Reflections: Frame by Frame
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
Street Scenes – Kensington Market’s Pedestrian Sundays
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
Turas Mór 2024- My First Cycling Event
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! So early in the year, with the encouragement of my buddies from my cycling group Pedals & Pints,… Read More
Street Scenes: Downtown Hamilton
Because I’ve lived my entire life in the tropics, winter still feels magical to me. Maybe that has something to do with all the movies showing the winter months as fluffy, white, and magical. Unfortunately, the reality of living in a country where half the year is cold is quite a bit different. Shorter (and… Read More
