circa 2000 with #SparkleFaerie operating my F5.. abuse #taught me to NOT talk about my F5 a lot.. why? Because of #INVESTING in my future of #photography rather than paying back a loan.. to family.. family that abused me as a child and on into #adulthood.
#abuse can cause debilitating pain.. and I am not really near absolution.. but I am working on my own self right now and #oceancyclist is a vehicle for artistic, spiritual, and personal growth. #follow to learn more about mental health, sustainability.. and how the #AlphaMale #Domineering #Ideology is so #inaccurate and #WRONG.
I also told SparkleFaerie that you *cant* shoot an out of focus shot w/ the F5.. she proved me wrong 😉
She also #proved me #wrong in that she is the #mother of my child.. and a whole lot more than that. So, I #celebrate her each and every day and thank her for #deciding that I was #worthwhile enough to spend the rest of her life with.. it’s been a long, #strange journey but she’s still there.. every #morning.via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DNYr41ayD3x/


one small step for.. pedalisticss.. cyclisticalism.. meanderment… Having mounted the Transmission and the Captains Seat I can see… my view out foreward, the space allowed.. and all considerations needed!
morning comes early when car camping.. determined to enjoy the minimal space even if it isnt fully dialled for journey.. thats what you get when you get a new- to- you vehicle on The Island, drive straight back to HOME.. and then turn around and drive to calgary for an art show with @teenytinyartcollective .. the show Art Walk is Saturday at 1pm, meeting in front of the Audio Shop. Gonna be fine!!!!
baby steps.. finally signed on w/ TipTapPay to help smooth out P2P donations- tap ur bank card and donate $10 to OceanCyclist .. heading to markets, door to door canvassing and reaching out to Bike Shops to have them host the display at checkout.. pretty psyched!
wanna have a chance to BE PAID to sail around the werld?!?!
#bikergirl.. soon to be a #poster as promo and #funding for my project.. well, a #version of this photo at any rate..
i’m in #YYC for a couple days.. weeks(ish) for an art show w/ @teenytinyartcollective and.. hoping to shoot #replacement images to get rid of the craptastic canned images on my shwag page.. change ’em out for in- house shot images of real ppl in my stuff.. and other shoot ideas while I’m there building my boat.. hit me up if interested in this #modelsearch #castingcall
in #quesnel for the night, stopped off @barkervillebeer for a couple of pints with @dandylynnstudio .. i’d say ‘road beers’ but we’re officially off the road for the day in our new- to- us van as we head back to the Skeena Valley to work work work… look for Ryan somewhere westerly along the #yellowhead after ThePig (PG, Man!) and take him #further for wider #discoveriesvia Instagram https://instagr.am/p/DLwBGklRbfg/
a different view of Boat2.. prepping to go back to #yyc for more work on TheBoat.. maybe finishing her up
