I run around outside, on my legs, with a camera. I post my own photos except reposts. I live on Treaty 6 land in #yeg #Canada. I like #art , #movement, #words and my family. And #pets. Keep Up: 👇 https://bio.site/jeffday
Everything is fleeting... Everyday I am motivated to find the beauty of the miracle that is the now. I think to love and let go, to see and let go, to love and keep going...is the important lesson. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekEforEphemeral #ColorADay #RedWed #Sunrise #Dawn #Photography #Nature #Beauty
A few of my favourite things in one fleeting reflection: Rocky Mountains, bold colours, river water, and dawn light. From a morning run in Canmore, Alberta (Oct 2024). #RockinTuesday #AlphabetChallenge #WeekEForEphemeral #Photography #Sunrise #ECK #CA
Ephemeral.... Matching colour tones from a rusted pipe in a river reflection: hard! But trying to hold that image in my mind for a week so I can find it, edit it and publish it: harder! #AlphabetChallenge #WeekEforEphemeral #BlueSkyMonday #ECK #Photography #YEG #Artful #MyEye #Reflections
Dana Bash got RFK so crazy, I predict he will rip his suit off and do shirtless push ups on set before they cut to break. #RFK
Out In The Ordinary... Last night there was a good rain. This morning I ran by the high school, where my kids attended. Loved the repetitive #details in the puddles on the track. Have a fine Sunday and remember: you see what you want to see. ✨️ #Stunday #ECK #10minutesfromhome #Photography #YEG
A semi truck roars down the Trans-Canada Highway, with a mountain for scale. #BlueskyArtShow #Big #photography #CA
Even After All this time The Sun never says to the forest, "You owe me." (There's a lesson there for our current times.) #ForestFriday #nature #sunsets #Beauty #Photography #NatureIsArt #Scape #ECK #Skyscape #Trees #YEG
Day Job Update... Art, Berries, Canoes, Goats. Inner City High School offers a free drop-in summer program for youth. The program bridges the summer closure of the school which provides many with supports beyond the classroom. Consider: innercity.ca/make-a-donat... #YEG #charity #community #good
Drying Out... A man dries his soaked clothes and belonging under a bridge before dark. “I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses." Deuteronomy 30:19-20 #UrbanGaze #Alphabetchallenge #WeekDForDark #Photography #ClassicMono #HumansOfBlueSky #StreetPhotography #CA
Waterfront in Old Strathcona... Street art and big puddles. Down an alley. #WateronWednesday #Reflections #Puddles #YEG #Iphoneography #Mundane #Streetart #Urbangaze
"Bricks & Mortality"... Another one of my window & wall captures; not sure if this is a project or a theme. This scene was very red. For #RedWed #ColorADay #WindowsonWednesday #WallsonWednesday #Photography #ArtYear #PhotographersofBluesky #ECK #Aesthetics
Another Day, Another Deluge A woman paddles a kayak in Mill Creek 'Lake'. The creek was overwhelmed with rain in what seems like a flash flood event yesterday. Certainly no one could remember anything like it prior. #Scape #Photography #ECK #WaterWednesday #Anthropocene #YEG #Edmonton #AB #Climate
Massive rain in Old Strath. Most roads flooded. Many sewers blew.
📸 "The Space Between Birds".... Today, focus on not confusing “urgent” with “important”. #MinimalMonday #PinkMon #ColorADay #LessisMore #Photography #Edmonton #Birds
Dude on that skateboard listening to Fleetwood Mac really had us thinking shit was getting better
Another Day... another deluge. Last night's thunderstorm left a mark; I'm heading out this morning to see what I can see in the city. Should be good puddles. #Stunday #EastCoastKin #ECK #Photography #Alberta #Crops #Rain #YEG #CA #Landscapes
“Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on glass.” ― Anton Chekhov #Glass #BlueSkyArtShow #Photography #Caturday #Cats
Fun Guy Friday... Just me running through a forest awash in smokey sunset light... when I see another #fungi bathing in the same light. #fungifriday #forests #wildfirelight #nature #photography #fungi #textures #details
Smoke Show... The slang — implies a cinematic quality rather than just a basic physical compliment. Sometimes it gets you a tariff. #ForestFriday #Sunsets #Nature #ECK #BlueSkyArt #Alberta #CA #Photography
A rogue AI attacked a company called 'Hugging Face'. Did we jump into 2050 and nobody told me about the wormhole? What is even going on... #timeline
In a world of hard lines, I look for things that bend. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekCforCurves #UrbanGaze #Photography #Jet #Edmonton #Dusk
Smoking The Air... Apparently this calculator tells you how many cigarettes you’re smoking by being outside in your city for 24 hours. 😬 cig-index.vercel.app
ciggie index
your air quality index, but in ciggies

“People say graffiti is irresponsible and childish... but that's only if it's done properly.” ― Banksy A hotel asked me if I'd provide 15 photos of #Edmonton (where I live) for a coffee table book for VIP customers. It's a book of interesting local #perspectives & special cocktails. #photography
“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.” ― W.B. Yeats For my father on his heavenly birthday. #Cloudbusting #Dawn #Landscape #Photography #Above
I moved from for profit to nonprofit. Neither are easy spaces to work in. I had dinner with a old client tonight. A family business. Mid sized. Complicated. (Like all family businesses). But the thing that stood out was: service & respect. On both sides of the table. How that matters, years later.
Heroics...before the workday. As my Dad always said, "The only person you should compete with is the person you were yesterday..." #classicmono #blackandwhite #bnw #photography #minimalmonday #streetphotography #YEG #peopleinframe
