• Getting behind the viewfinder again

  

  One benefit of the nice weather we’ve been having is it has given me the ability to get out and do a bit of shooting. Earlier this week, over the long-weekend and after work Tuesday and Wednesday, I was able to get out and see some of the back-country along the northern edge of the…

• Rebranding

  Thrutheashes.blog is no more. After a few weeks of contemplation, and poking around in WordPress, I have made the decision to merge my photography website and my blog. Thrutheashes served me well when I was in the depths of my mental health recovery, however, in recent months I have come to feel that I am…

  The last couple of weeks have been a blur. Lynn and I travelled home from Calgary on May 1 and I was back in the office on May 2. To say that heading into the office after a week off felt like walking into a meat grinder is almost an understatement. I had quite a…

  I have no idea where the time has gone. It doesn’t seem real that the last post I published here was back in February.

  Suffice it to say, 2023 is already starting off on the wrong foot. While I have some positive stuff going on as far as work goes, which I can’t speak about quite yet, on the home front things have been rough. I found out that Noreen, my biological dad’s wife, passed away on Dec. 31.…

• Remembering 9/11, its impact on my mental health journey

  

  It seems almost fitting that the full moon last night was red. Twenty-one years ago, the United State was hit with an almost unimaginable tragedy. The events of Sept. 11, 2001 are forever etched in my mind. I remember waking up to a phone call that morning from mom, telling me to turn on the…
