I’ve been absolutely captivated by the sky ever since moving into my new studio. Watching the clouds drift by has become a daily ritual, and I love capturing these moments. In this video, you can see something special, the background and foreground clouds moving in opposite directions, creating a mesmerizing effect.

Plotting the Next Chapter
Fifty-six days remain in 2026, and in this photo I am doing what much of my work begins with: looking up at the clouds. Lately, I have been looking back as well. I am currently reflecting and working on a new issue of my newsletter, out in mid-December. It gathers the year’s works, studio notes,…
Sunset Lake Reflections
Last week I drove out to Lac Aylmer Park, at the edge of the Eastern Townships, to photograph a sunset. It was freezing and the park was empty out at the season, and that was precisely the advantage.

Until now, every export used one of them at a…
VIDEOSunset ASCII Clouds
I’m further developing the cloud engine, adding new visualization modes for an upcoming project. Each mode offers another way to answer the same question: what vocabulary should the sky be redrawn in? This iteration renders the clouds in ASCII characters. Density becomes typography; the formations resolve into text that happens to look like weather. More…
