March 7, 2026 Vancouver, Canada
I shot this event because I used to cover political protests as a journalist in New York for my regular column, called “Trouble Shooter” in Resource Magazine (RIP, sold off and gone) and I’ve missed doing it, I’ve missed documenting. With everything in heavy turmoil now, I feel the need to be back out there.

I try to show events without pretending I’m some robot with no opinions. Everyone has bias, but I do my best to visually capture the spirit of what actually happened from a journalistic point of view, an activist point of view and an anthropological point of view. Messy, human, real. I don’t want to just sit here and be a keyboard warrior. I want to be there. I want to know. I want to be a first-hand witness to history unfolding.

Going today lit a fire in me that’s been out for years. Feels good.

To quote my favourite war photographer, James Nachtwey - “I want my pictures to cut through political abstractions… and make a connection on a human level. There is a job to be done…to record the truth. I want to wake people up!”
