Peggy’s Cove is roughed out on the eastern arm of St. Margaret’s Bay, route 333 on your GPS. The two-lane road from Halifax winds just enough to demand your attention. Hit it mid-afternoon and weigh the odds of getting tangled behind a screaming school bus. Maple. Kayak. B&B. We do take out. They’re a few…

Shots in the Dark
Walk the Korean streets after dark and claim some night light. Cars and construction markers love a slow shutter and when every city and in-between town plugs in, it’s all pretty-gritty. The South Korean difference is that businesses might serve, pour, rack, massage or drop the mic to the 9th floor or higher. The world…
Korea Squares
A bottle. A Buddha. An artery-busting street snack. A statue. A sign. A night suit’s silhouette. A dashboard oddity. A human pose. These squares aren’t so much how I see Korea, more fantasies made from pieces of my days.
Bukhansan
After supporting the demands of the 12th largest economy, Koreans look to the weekend to recharge, or gallop. There are choices – wining, dining, singing and supra malls – but a purer escape is enjoyed by millions each year. It promotes itself just by being. Bukhansan National Park is a shared distraction, overlapping both Seoul…
Goodies (2016)
I was reminded why I travel on a recent trip to Fukuoka, Japan, that is as much for the small unexpecteds as what the brochure racks plug. A gruesome statue straddling the brother townships of Hakata and Tenjin was the give-away. Just shy of the sidewalk and under an eyebrow ridge of street-level architecture (a…
Busan Cinema Center (2012)
To the question whether it’s still open for business now that Busan’s international film festival (BIFF) has wrapped – absolutely. In front of me, I hold two brochures. The first is an upcoming schedule of film screenings and live performances both theatrical and musical, the second lays out the complex itself. How many square meters?…
Korean Sports Bars (2010)
With the cold still snapping at our heels there’s little motivation to exercise, we know. Better to sit with a pint and leave it to the professionals. The question is where to find a stooltop without the same old deja view? Here are a few suggestions to get you through the thaw. Rocky Mountain Tavern…
Wharf Speed (2009)
Barque. Brigatine. Ketch. Sloop. Even a well-keeled head might rub the chin in query, but everyone knows a tall ship when they see one. July 16th marks a return visit of the tall ships to Nova Scotia, the eastern Canadian province that prods the Atlantic like a two-sided thumb. Return visit, it’s true. Whether four…
The Gospel According to Richard Pryor
It’s hard to get a sense of this project from these images alone. I’ll try to add some screenshots for context down the road. This was my first stab at VR and though I’m sure I near ruptured Unity in the attempt, it was a blast. Comedy as religion. This is the concept. Within the…
