I’ve found myself with a bit of unexpected time on my hands, and rather than letting it slip quietly by, I thought I’d put this out into the world.
I’m beginning early work on my 2027 Calendar and wanted to see if there’s interest.
With my kidney transplant currently on hold, life feels suspended in a strange in-between. It could happen soon, or the wait could stretch longer than expected.
As of yesterday, I am now officially on the national donor registry.
While so much of this process is out of my control, what is within reach is how I choose to spend this time. For me, that means staying creative, grounded, and productive—anchored in the things that have always helped carry me through.
This calendar project feels like the right place to pour that energy.
The calendar will carry the same name and visual spirit as my upcoming book, currently in design:
“Vancouver Island & Beyond: Whispers From The Wild.”
It will continue the same themes—sense of place, quiet reflection, and a deep connection to the natural world. These images are not just photographs; they are moments of stillness, reminders to slow down, to listen, and to remember what remains when the noise fades away.
Alongside giving me focus and purpose during this waiting period, the sale of this calendar will also help raise much-needed funds while I remain in limbo. It’s a practical necessity, yes—but it’s also a way of turning uncertainty into something tangible, something meaningful.
If this is something you’d be interested in—whether for yourself, as a gift, or simply as a way of supporting this journey—I’d truly love to hear from you. Your encouragement, your messages, and your continued support mean more than words can fully express.

Thank you, as always, for walking alongside me—through the wild places, the quiet moments, and everything in between.
With gratitude,
Dan
