It's one of the first times I've used existing images in one of my photos, and the result is much more documentary-style than usual. Hope you like it!

I liked the results of this photograph of a lonely dried bush near the top of a tiring and slightly spooky slot canyon hike. Keep an eye out as I slowly add more photos from the trip over the coming months!

This is the best light I've experienced for awhile, but it took a few evenings to really find the right 'dusky' feel. Photographs like this remind me that, though the journey can be magical, everything we search the world for can be found right where we started from.

It's one of my favourites from a trip to Vancouver Island this Spring. The composition is simple, but there's something quite menacing about it that I can't seem to put my finger on. See if you agree! (Nov 12, 2011)
