Read My Guest Post About Continuity Backups at OWC
Other World Computing (OWC) recently asked me if I’d like to write a guest post on their blog. OWC make SSDs and memory for Macs, as well as RAID solutions and various USB and Thunderbolt docks.

The topic I chose: Continuity Backups. If you don’t know what this phrase means, I think you need to read …

I have been making regular visits to Vancouver Island for a while now and it’s easily one of my favourite wildlife photography destinations. …

I’m Back! Rainforests, boats, bears, whales…
I must apologize that things went a little quiet for a few weeks around here while I’ve been busy on the road in a couple of locations around British Columbia. The first trip was to photograph the temperate rainforests of the Sunshine Coast, and a second longer trip saw me based in Tofino for a few weeks while I tracked down the incredible wildlife that lives in that areas. Just to give you an idea, in a single day I photographed black bears, killer whales (mother and son, transients), grey whales and a grey whale calf, eagles, harbour seals, stellar …
