Explore Canada Like a Local

by

Just as I began my annual how-will-I-pay-the-bills-this-summer panic, the editors of the Matador Network dropped me an email about their new partnership with the Canadian Tourism Commission on a summer advertising campaign called Explore Canada Like a Local.

An inukshuk at Berg Lake in Mount Robson Provincial Park, British Columbia.

Essentially, it was a giant series press trips that sent journalists on independent itineraries in all provinces. I jumped at the opportunity and before I knew it I had loaded my gear into a float plane in Misinipe, Saskatchewan, and flown to Forest House. After that, it was a road trip from Jasper to Banff, where I mounted a horse for the first time in almost 25 years (not bad, considering I am only 27) and joined a wolf pack.

Here is a list off all my articles from the Explore Canada Like a Local campaign.

The end of the Explore Canada Like a Local campaign marks the end of summer and for this first time since I became a writer and photographer, I am thrilled with the quality and quantity of my published work in the past 4 months. I just hope the next few months bring similar returns.

Weddings in The Park

by

The old saying April showers brings May flowers is beginning to feel genuine but it’s more than that. April showers bring May weddings, too.

In Jasper National Park, weddings tend to take place between May and September. And this year, I intend to shoot my share. I’ve already booked a few days and receive more calls soon.
