“Bipolar” is released into the void.
You cannot catch hold of it, nor can you get rid of it. In not being able to get it you get it. When you speak its silent, when you are silent it speaks. - Zen poem

Being ...
“Being …” an exhibition of photography and video opens Thursday June 6th from 7 - 9 pm at The Front Gallery in Edmonton, Canada. The exhibition runs until June 30th.
Being conscious only of filtered forms in the noise, the observations captured through these photographs are a reminder of the noise that is all form.
In life, as in these images, perception changes through proximity to a situation, and normalized reality is challenged when confronted with an unfamiliar perspective. Are the emotional states we experience simply interactions within our brains making sense of a world that is complex beyond our ability to perceive it? To imagine a future that connects us to each other and to the universe, might we look beyond the familiar forms that we project onto each other that divide and isolate us?
This exhibition demonstrates how a shift in perspective can create a vantage point beyond the familiar. Created through the actions of carbon ink, the imagery is a reminder of the incredible nature of things that we are woven into and have evolved from.

Transplant Documentaries - "Momento Mori" & "Vital Bonds"
Proud to have been one of the cinematographers on these powerful films. Congrats to everyone who was involved in the project, especially the families who let us into their lives at such a difficult time.
Momento Mori
https://www.nfb.ca/film/memento_mori/
Memento Mori is an evocative cinematic journey alongside the living and the dying, bringing to the screen a human drama never-before captured on film. With remarkable access to Canada’s busiest organ-transplant hospital, we witness one of the most profound experiences in any human life: the loss of a child, and the agonizing decision this tragedy demands. Created by two acclaimed Canadian documentarians, director Niobe Thompson and producer Rosvita Dransfeld, Memento Mori grips the viewer in a relentless, emotional embrace—propelling us from moments of unexpected joy to unbearable heartbreak—until the very final frame. An arresting tour de force of vérité filmmaking, immersing us completely in a world few of us understand but which we’ll all one day encounter.
