The Traveling Vampyre

06/05/2023

In the gothic cyberpunk city, where neon lights and towering skyscrapers were the norm, she stood alone on a desolate street. Her eyes fixed on a colossal tower of apartments that seemed to touch the clouds above. She wondered about the world around her, filled with contradictions and chaos.

As she looked up at the towering structure, her mind began to wander. Who lived there? Were they happy in their luxurious abodes or were they trapped in their own gilded cages? What secrets did those towering walls hold, and what stories were hidden within its steel and concrete?

The city was a paradox, a place where the rich thrived and the poor struggled to survive. It was a world of glamour and filth, of technology and decay. She felt lost in the midst of it all, struggling to find her place in a society that seemed to care little for those on the margins.

But as she looked up at the tower of apartments, she felt a sense of determination rising within her. She knew that she couldn't change the world overnight, but she could start by changing herself. She would become a force to be reckoned with, a symbol of hope for those who were lost and forgotten.

And with that thought in mind, she turned away from the tower and started walking towards her own destiny. In the gothic cyberpunk city, anything was possible, and she was determined to make her mark on the world.

Winter scenery can definitely be gorgeous in a lot of cases. This picture was taken in St Albert along one of the rivers. Doesn't it look almost like winter wonderland?

Storm skies are a wonder of nature all on their own, but di you see those rays of light? Delicious.

We had a few decent storms this year, and I managed to grab quite a few nice photos from them.

There is something absolutely amazing about Mother Nature when she decides to just let loose. She both amazes and terrifies me.

Panoramic photos are gorgeous. The ability to capture so much in such a short amount of time will always blow be away.

This one kinda looks like a castle. DOn't forget to take a moment to look around at the architecture you pass by in the city. Have you ever stopped to think about what it takes to build some of these places?

Have you ever taken a moment to just take in the little things around you? Even in the middle of a concrete jungle like Edmonton, you can find sights of beauty all around you.

Just another day in the life of a student aiming to return back to the classroom in the fall. Are you ready for classes? What are you studying?

History has a way of making itself relevant over and over again as we move further into the future. Some of the history of our surroundings can sometimes require being uncovered - a hidden history, if you will.

What's your favourite nugget of hidden history?

Ever been down to the University of Alberta Campus? It's a mixture of architecture both old and new.

The University is a public research university located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It was founded in 1908 by Alexander Cameron Rutherford, the first premier of Alberta, and Henry Marshall Tory, the university's first president. It was enabled through the Post-secondary Learning Act.

The university is considered a "comprehensive academic and research university" (CARU), which means that it offers a range of academic and professional programs that generally lead to undergraduate and graduate level credentia

The university comprises four campuses in Edmonton, an Augustana Campus in Camrose, and a staff centre in downtown Calgary. The original north campus consists of 150 buildings covering 50 city blocks on the south rim of the North Saskatchewan River valley, directly across from downtown Edmonton. 39,000 students from Canada and 150 other countries participate in 400 programs in 18 faculties.

The university is a major economic driver in Alberta. Its impact on Alberta's economy is estimated at $12.3 billion annually, or five per cent of the province's gross domestic product.

Riding Edmonton's LRT system is always a treat. I don't do it often these days, but I always look forward to this sight when I do. This view is like the river: always changing. Never the same from one moment to another.

The path wooded path from the End of the World in Edmonton is just as pretty as the actual river. If you're ever in the area, I recommend trying to check it out and seeing it for yourself. You might almost forget you're in the city.

Keillor Point (formerly known as "The End Of The World) is located at the top of the river bank on Saskatchewan Drive in the Belgravia neighbourhood, above the former Keillor Road. Development of this location in the river valley is intended to create a safe, accessible and welcoming place for people to enjoy the view of Edmonton’s beautiful river valley.

Not my usual angle for a photo, but I wanted to see what it would look like. All things considered, I'm happy with it. Bit of a unique perspective, just like my life.

The back of the Leg grounds aren't appreciated nearly enough. It's nice to know that even in the craped space that is downtown Edmonton, we can still find places of beauty and serenity.

It's been a hot minute since I uploaded something. Sorry about that. Con season got the best of me as I was vending at one, and I was staff for the other. Anyways, here's a shot of the Alberta Legislature this summer on one of my adventures. It's under construction, but that doesn't make the architecture any less impressive.
..Can't say as much for the current government though.

Not really sure what to say about this one other than GREEN.

The Hotel MacDonald has some controversial history about the name, but the beauty of where it sits can't be denied.

City Center Mall in Edmonton is absolutely beautiful, especially with its domes ceiling at the entrance.

For some reason, I love shooting panoramic photos. They offer a wider view of life around us in the moment, but at the same time, they can skew things so out of proportion if they're moving. I like to think of panoramic photos as real life with emotion thrown in.

A quick snap from last year. Not really sure what to say about this one.

My two favourite seasons are fall and spring. Fall, because everything cools off, and of course spooky season. Spring I like because everything is so vibrant, and once again, everything is cool.

I'm proud to be a MacEwan University communications student, and I'll be proud to be a Macewan Alumni in 2023. In the meantime, let me introduce you to Building 9, also known as the nursing building. Campus has some amazing sights all on its own.

I love it when the sky lights itself on fire. It's nights like these where I'd like to be sitting around a fire and just taking in nature in all its splendour. This is my way of knowing that no matter how bad things get, there's always a chance to start over.

This is a different shot of today's Instagram collage.

24/06/2022

I know I show this shot off a lot, but the view from my living room window is absolutely stunning.

If you're curious, I do a collage-style release over on my photography Instagram. I'm trying to get into the habit of releasing something every day. You should totally go check it out.

This one's from last summer. No idea what's coming next. Hold on to your butts.

19/06/2022

Honestly, I love a good sunset. The ones that make it seem like the sky is on fire are the best.

A quick panoramic I took the other day. I've been doing collage-style postings over on my Instagram if you want to go check things out. I post pretty much the cream of the crop for pictures that I've taken.

This fall is going to potentially mean a jump in technology for me when it comes to photography. I'm contemplating upgrading my phone. Here's the issue I have: earbud jacks have become a thing of the past, and removable storage has also been done away with. As someone who's been using their phone as the main way to take pictures and video, this presents a problem for me, as I like having access to removable storage if I need it. I'm thinking of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, but I want to know your thoughts. Do you have it? How do you find that it works? In your opinion, how is the camera (both front and back)?

17/06/2022

Trying out a few new styles for photos. I kinda like the way this one turned out. Do you have a favourite photography style.

16/06/2022

I do love me some architectural night photography.

As you're walking through life and experiencing it, remember: all photographs are accurate, but none of them really tells the whole truth.

Grant Notley Park in Edmonton overlooking the River Valley. It's probably one of my favourite spots in the entire city at the moment. Whether day or night, this spot can be absolutely breathtaking as it looks towards the University of Alberta

“I know nothing in the world that has as much power as a word. Sometimes I write one, and look at it, until it shines.” – Emily Dickinson

Writing soothes me. I can escape to fantastical worlds without leaving the comfort of my own home, or in this case, the DOSC cafe/restaurant down on the 104 St Promenade in Downtown Edmonton. They have some excellent tea choices, and a great atmosphere for writing.

August 2018, grounds of Osaka Castle just after a rain. Everything smelled so fresh and looked so dang vibrant, despite being so humid. I would love to go back some day and just spend a couple of hours sitting on the castle grounds while meditating.

I've been doing a collage with my Instagram posts. This one is a 3x3. Check it out at https://www.instagram.com/trailblazermedia/
