2024 Recap: Black and White

Here’s a few black and white images that I enjoyed from the year that’s been. I’ve been fortunate to see and witness a lot this year, as my work took me far beyond the borders of home and to cultures and vistas far beyond my childhood dreams. I don’t take these opportunities lightly, and just try to do them justice.

It’s always an enjoyable time, as a photographic artist, to be able to “look back”. Often, you’re looking forward - in the “present” sense. Looking out at the world in front of you, and trying to interpret it the best you can. Those rare moments, though, that you find to look through a project, a month, or a year that’s been and re-live everything? Gold.

I seem to find fewer and fewer of those moments as I age; not because I can’t find the time (although that’s part of the reason); it’s moreso that I dislike more and more being stuck to a computer. I want to be “out there”. Watching the world go by, and leaping in, here and there, as life happens. Both with a camera and otherwise.

Here’s a few black and white images that I enjoyed from the year that’s been. I’ve been fortunate to see and witness a lot this year, as my work took me far beyond the borders of home and to cultures and vistas far beyond my childhood dreams. I don’t take these opportunities lightly, and just try to do them justice.

These are my visual stories. I hope they connect.

PS - stay tuned for some of my colour faves from 2024 in the weeks to come.

Notes From Namibia

November, every two to three years in my world, is three weeks of Namibian heat, dust, sweat, tears and an incredible array of natural and human-strewn perfection.

Namibia has long been known to photographers and wanderlusters alike as a destination like no other. The hospitality of the Namibians is legendary, and this sparsely populated country offers such a diversity of light, form, and experience.

I have now been to Namibia four times, co-leading photography workshops for OFFBEAT, and every time I return, I know I’m in for a journey that’s equally exhausting and elational. This most recent trip was no exception: over the course of 3 weeks I drove over 4500KM with an incredible team of fellow photographers, combining rooftop camping with hotels and taking in a myriad of locations.

Quiver trees. Stars. The ghost town of Kolmanskop. Deadvlei. Sossusvlei. Etosha. Flamingos. Decay. Life. Spitzkoppe. The hunt. Shadows. Sand. The vastness.

PS - Endless thanks to my co-leaders on this on, Kahli April, Sara Kempner, Aaron von Hagen, and Lee Nordbye. You all made this so so much more enjoyable.

Note: all of the above images were taken in 2024 using a combination of my new Fuji GFX 100s II and my trusty Sigma lenses.

The below images are a smattering of favourites from past trips:

Mongolian Colour

The other day, I posted up a black and white collection of recent images photographed in Mongolia. Monochrome work forms a big chunk of what I’m drawn to these days, but the way my brain works - in the field - is that a scene is almost immediately a “black and white” scene, or it’s a colour scene. I’m constantly flipping my camera back and forth between these modes; yes, I know you can shoot in one and convert to the other in post-processing, but I like to “see” in a choosen medium while I’m out there in the thick of it.

Some scenes simply, to me, don’t work in black and white. Or colour becomes more the star of the show. Here, then, are my “colour stars” from close to a month in Mongolia. Just little postcards from a place that’s incredibly meaningful to me…I hope these images can give you a little peak into this beautiful country.

Monochrome Mongolia

I recently returned from a life-changing month in the remotes of Mongolia, where I was co-leading a photography workshop for OFFBEAT that saw us take two groups across the Gobi Desert before heading into the wilds of western Mongolia.

I last travelled to Mongolia back in the spring of 2019, and it was, in a word, incredible to be back in what I consider one of the most photogenic countries in the world. Sure, the natural landscape there is incredible…but what makes Mongolia, for me, is the culture. Outside of the capital of Ulaanbaatar the people are sparse, but the warmth and hospitality we encountered in each encounter was beyond.

I love wide open spaces (maybe that’s why I loved living in the Canadian Arctic so much), and this place…well, it’s where your soul sours. It's a place to get lost and find yourself again.

I have a number of colour images from this trip, but my focus was primarily the monochrome medium. Black and white speaks to me in ways I can’t explain. The running joke with our group during this trip was my constant refrain of “Hey, I think this would look really great in black and white….” (I think they’re making me a t-shirt with that as the slogan).

Prince Edward Island Foxes: A 10-Year Retrospect

A round-up of 10 years of photographing Prince Edward Island’s foxes by PEI photographer, Dave Brosha.

For the past decade, I’ve often turned my lens to the beautiful red fox (Vulpes vuples), the icon of what is affectionately known as the “Red Island”.

Here on Prince Edward Island, we don’t have most of the “big” wildlife that other Canadians know and love, including moose, deer, bison, wolves, elk, caribou, and so on. Our wildlife tends to be understated in size….but that’s no slight to its beauty. I can’t think of a more beautiful creature than the red fox, and we are fortunate enough to have a strong population of these fascinating creatures (even though mange has taken a horrible toll over the past 4-5 years).


My own anecdotal experience is that the red foxes of the Island seem to be bouncing back, and for that I am eternally grateful.


Here are 50 or images of these incredibly photogenic creatures, photographed on Prince Edward Island over the past decade. I hope you enjoy.
