Big news! Edition number one of my rebooted newsletter is in the wild!
It has been redesigned (for simplicity), renamed (Intersections), and rebooted (the counter is back to zero for a fresh start). This is the heart of where I’ll be pouring my creative efforts over the next while.
I’ve moved to a new service for sending and managing these: Buttondown. It’s run by a team of one and is stripped down to the basics, making it perfect for what a newsletter should be about: writing…
Hi. I’m David the software engineer. Yes, this is the same David that normally posts here, but at the moment I am wearing my software engineer hat. Since this website focuses on photography, I don’t don this hat much here. It is a conscious choice to keep my web presences separated for clarity’s sake; even so, these skills constantly support each other in my day-to-day work. When developing a website, I can build up media that is specific to my clients’ …
I suppose you could say I have decided to start decorating desktops for people, because I’m now going to share high resolution wallpapers here. To view all the wallpapers in the future, select the Wallpapers category in the blog menu and a list of all the wallpaper posts will show up.

Funny how contrasts helps you appreciate both ends of the spectrum. Hot days and cool lakes. Sunshine and stars. Sunsets and stormy skies. Sweaty bodies and cold beers. Friends and mosquitoes. …
Diving is adventure. Diving is exploration. Diving is going somewhere that few have gone before.
I love exploring. When I look at the map of the world, I am overwhelmed by all the places I’d like to visit, by dreams of seeing things I haven’t seen. Initially when you look at a map, most people immediately focus on the land, the continents, the idea of foreign places around the world and images they’ve seen of these places flash through their head. But take your focus…
Photography aside, a friend and I decided to drive up to Steep Rock on Lake Manitoba to get out of the city last Sunday (May 20th). It was a planned coincidence that it just so happened to be on the same evening as a partial solar eclipse was happening.

Better to just sit back and enjoy the show with my eclipse…
