Going Rogue
[This article is still in editing mode but I wanted to post it because despite the typos and crappy writing, it’s worth thinking about now] Recently, our “worst nightmare” occurred with Ai (worst to date, in any case). The thing that all people who really don’t know anything about technology worry about: what happened when…

Do We Actually Have Free Will? What Does It Mean If We Don’t?
This is how much of a nerd I secretly am – the reward I was going to give myself for doing my tortuous taxes was an indulgent meditation around the idea that we don’t have free will and what this means for us. Like I was deeply excited to think about this, lol. This wasn’t…

‘Still I Rise’ from Maya Angelou’s Live and Unplugged
Someone might take something from this as I did, Maya Angelou’s beautiful reading of her poem Still I rise. She opens this poetry reading with the following words, “The issues that which face us all is not how to survive, obviously we are doing that, but really how to thrive. Really. Thrive with some passion,…

Sky of Gold: Dreamlands
I wrote this as part of another post. But the reason I wrote that post at all was because of this. So it should be on it’s own. I don’t even remember adding album Slow Air by Still Corners to my playlist. I thought my daughter introduced me to it, but no. Because it’s not…

We Are Human Beings
I don’t know how I stumbled upon Hi Ren, but I was absolutely transfixed. I could image being in a darkened theatre seeing this on the stage, feeling that electrical chill of the silence in the aftermath of a performance like this would bring, the long pause before the deafening applause. I just love it…

In the Middle of the Night
I’ve had parts of this Still Corners — Slow Air album on repeat to the extent that I thought I was dreaming it, and would catch myself with a mishmash of fragments in my head. Which one is that fragment from, the sad one? The hopeful one? And why that one? Is my subconscious trying…

The Time Change
It’s the time of day when if you have the lights turned on, it looks dark outside. But! If you turn the lights off, it’s dark inside. Twilight. It’s dark inside, but outside everything is lit with strange blue glow that makes you feel that right now is a moment that doesn’t belong to day…

Exclusive Guest Pro Clinic with Ahad Raza at the Pickering Squash Club
Really enjoyed putting this highlight together from the clinic with Ahad Raza at Pickering Squash Club. This is exactly the kind of sports storytelling I enjoy — fast-paced, authentic, and about seeing the visual moments that build the story and shaping it in the edit. I love trying to capture what makes sport special —…

2025 Tournament Highlights
Had an amazing time capturing the energy and drama of this year’s Hanebury squash tournament at Pickering! It’s always fun getting creative with video in such a fast-paced environment. Couldn’t be happier to combine two of my favorite things: playing squash and video editing!

Some Days it’s Like This
I think I learned about four different ways to make something like a tornado in Blender and it probably took a month to finally get it the way I wanted for this image. Sadly the time it took is probably more related to the fact I’m using a 2015 Mac laptop. Again, this was designed…

The Lost Art of Waiting
This piece was originally conceived specifically to be viewed on instagram, if not on instagram or if instagram changes, this is/was a feed-based platform where the video would autoplay and virtually be indistinguishable from a still image. The idea was that you’d see it, and the subtle movement would cause you to to wonder if…

But Is It a Gas Station? Shoot! (Part 2)
Part one is here. You’ll see I strayed a ways away from my original concept. I don’t know if there is anything I have done so far that caused me as much thinking. Of course, there is always the thinking around the concept, and then the thinking around the build, and then the shooting and…
