Photoset : The Kamloopa PowWow

On assignment for Destination British Columbia, I was commissioned to document an amazing cultural event, the Kamloopa PowWow. A PowWow is a sort of spiritual experience for both the performers and the attendees, they travel from all over North America to compete in both song and dance over 3 days. The competitions range based on type of dance style, appearance & songs and along the way there are different ceremonies and events that fill in the time such as the best caucasian dancer, where they invite people in the stands to show off their best dance style. 

Here are some of the photos from the 3 days at the PowWow in Kamloops, BC.

TOFINO, BC

I find myself in Tofino often enough for work, but not enough for fun... Growing up on the island, it was always a go-to place for camping and surfing, so last month it felt great to get up there for a week of exploring and camping.

I was fortunate enough to have my bike with me on this trip, camping at my friend Taylor's spot in a trailer park a few minutes outside town... It was a perfect spot to commute on my bike for beer runs at Tofino Brew Co.

We took a day trip out to Kennedy Lake & explored the logging roads...

Followed by a hike & beach fire with some new friends...

Julia flew out from Vancouver on my birthday to hang out on the beach and do some camping... we found a spot right off a beach to do some bouldering, walked along boardwalks and filled up our growler before hitting a beautiful camping spot outside of town on the ocean.

Sometimes it feels nice to look at the things I pass by in the city with a lens. Here are a few shots during the day walking around Gastown, and at sunset from the air with SKY Helicopters.
