In 2017 I moved to Vancouver, leaving behind my friends, job, and family in Toronto, so that my partner could attend the University of British Columbia. The prospect of walking away from a familiar and comfortable life was both scary and exciting, but upon landing in our new home I instantly fell in love with the titanic snow-covered mountains and the ancient trees, laden with emerald mosses, seemingly adorning every street. It wasn't long before I took to the woods, camera in hand, to explore the solemn stillness the city had to offer.
Exploration in the Pacific Northwest is an ongoing photo series which serves to document the breathtaking splendour of Canada's West Coast, most of which is entirely accessible by Vancouver's remarkable public transit system.
