Watching speeding cops

No hesitation

Mr. Rogers was right: "When I was a boy and would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'"

His words popped into my head as I watched 5 @lpsmediaoffice units rush into the neighborhood, pointed headlong toward someone (or many someones) who needed help. For these heroes among us, their personal safety always takes a back seat to their need to protect.

I push words around a screen most days. They risk their lives. For total strangers. For us. Thank you doesn't seem to cut it.

A few things to remember on this special #BellLetsTalk day:

1. Mental health is health. Period.
2. It touches us all. Just ask those closest to you.
3. The journey should never be solo. Reach out. Connect. Share. Talk.
4. The universe is an amazing place, and we all deserve to be a part of it.

What's behind the window?
London, ON

This photo originally shared on Instagram
Non-descript buildings on desolate stretches of a major, run-down arterial roadway almost never get their marquee moment. So it's my self-appointed job to find the ones that have been overlooked. Otherwise we never see the full story of the world around us.

What makes this particular building remarkable is precisely its lack of any remarkable features. Ordinary is its middle name. And it's why I zoomed in on it from across four lanes of high-speed traffic on a forgettably grey and miserable Saturday morning.

Are you feeling reflective?

There's something in the water

This photo originally shared on Instagram
I have a very patient and understanding aunt and uncle. Their home has always been my home, and whenever I show up, they know what's about to happen as soon as I take the camera out. In fact, my aunt will often hunt down ideas for me and hang out with me while I shoot them. Seriously, you want these people to be your aunt and uncle, too.

Corvette fun in a parking lot

I'm normally not a fan of big-bore sports cars. Too look-at-me-ish, as if the folks who drive them are compensating for some other shortcomings in their lives. Yes, I'm stereotyping. So be it.

But when walking quickly through a South Florida parking lot, shooting from the hip to grab the most memories in the least amount of time, it's hard to pass up a lovely specimen like this when it pops into view.

I may not want the baggage that comes along with owning one, but that doesn't make the design any less lovely to explore with a lens. America's sports car, indeed.

What lies beneath the tracks

Waiting
London, ON
January 2018
This photo originally shared on Instagram
I took this because public spaces like this one - the waiting area at #LdnONT's @viarailcanada station - rarely get any sort of spotlight.

They may not be spectacular or memorable, and they aren't destinations in and of themselves. It would be easy to write them off - but we shouldn't. Because they're part of the journey, transient places necessary to ensure we get where we're going. Their subtle design cues gently keeping us on track as we try to navigate from here to there.

Places like this seem to have an understated beauty to them, one that politely invites us in for a closer look. And as a place to people-watch, it doesn't get any better than this.

So as much as I love the grand spaces that fill everyone else's Instagram feeds and photo archives, I hope you won't mind if I occasionally choose to explore the less-celebrated spaces that seem to linger quietly just below our individual and collective radar.

Po meets the Mayor

Hanging around
London, ON
January 2018
This photo originally shared on Instagram
Po the Teletubby has been hanging from my camera bag ever since we first got her in our now-grown son's McDonald's Happy Meal. Like all such toys, Po was soon set aside, setting the stage for her second life as a real-world travel gnome.

Wherever I go, I try to shoot her in context. Pulling her out for some creative photography in the middle of the airport, at the beach, or like here, at the Mayor's State of the City address earlier this week, never fails to attract the attention of strangers, to spark spontaneous and spirited conversations, to make people smile.

And so it was in the middle of 1,300 movers and shakers from the city's economic, political, media, social and other communities that I decided to take Po out and have a little fun with her while the big cheese spoke (that's him in the background.)

I tweeted this at the time, but wanted to share it here as a reminder of the power of everyday photography to reach people, to make them think about what really matters - connecting, by the way - and plant seeds in them that hopefully grow in inspiring new directions.

She may very well be a simple, tattered Happy Meal toy, but she remains incredibly powerful all these years later. Who's your Po?

Never forget why you've long been a light among nations.

Birds, especially gulls, are another frequent photographic topic for me. As with waves, breakfast cereals, animals, and tree bark, I can't explain why I keep returning to similar themes through my lens.

But not everything needs an explanation. Sometimes it's enough to stand on the beach and look on in awe as a singular bird flies into the distance.

So many questions. So few answers. I'd do this again in a heartbeat.

Sometimes the universe throws random little bits - like this fallen screw - in your path for reasons that don't seem to make much sense at the time.

But not everything needs to make sense. Because if a random moment serves to slow us down enough to enjoy an otherwise-missed moment, then maybe there's nothing random about this at all.

We're on our way home from Florida, and this unexceptional suburb just off the I-75 offers up exactly what our little family needs right now: A quiet, warm place to stop, rest up, eat, fill the car and get back on the road.

It's incredibly cold outside, and the light pouring into the McDonald's restaurant is doing its best to warm us up. We feel a million miles away from the warmth of our now-completed vacation.

Doesn't mean I can't have a little fun with light and shadow before we get back on the road. There's always time for that.

This photo originally shared on Instagram
You find inspiration in the most unexpected places, but only if you open your eyes first. Some days I feel like a Hoover vacuum as I walk through life, sucking it all in, hyper-aware of everything around me, waiting for something to trigger me.

I grabbed this scene at the pool near my aunt and uncle's house. To most of the people who live here, this isn't something they'd ever focus on. To me, though, it turned into a moment I won't soon forget. All because I took the time to look.

Coffee is always the answer

London, ON

This photo originally shared on Instagram
I have a weird relationship with coffee. I don't particularly like how it tastes. I don't hate it, either. It just...is.

So why do I drink it? Because the ritual around it is comforting. Because enough people who matter the world to me feel the same way. So we gather in the morning around a mug. We wrap our fingers around it and feel its warmth as we share the first conversation of the day.

And nothing makes me feel as connected as picking up a warm mug and chatting about anything and nothing with folks who get me.

Someone lost half her weight in fur today. I don't think she was too pleased about it - I almost felt like I had to apologize to the groomers because she's such a challenging munchkin to work with - but in the end she kinda had no choice.

You'll notice she doesn't have the traditional Schnauzer beard. That's because she doesn't sit still long enough for them to style it properly. So they're forced to resort to the quicker/easier buzz-it-quickly method.

Either way, we still love her to bits and pieces. She may be crazy, but she's a Levy. That's enough for us.
