Vancouver Island photography prints, by gallery

The catalogue of Vancouver Island photography prints is organised by region because that is how the work was made. I started with the places nearest the house, on the basis that the best photographs come from a spot you can return to in any season and any light. Comox Valley got the first gallery for that reason. Goose Spit changes from week to week, Nymph Falls looks like a different river in November than it does in April, and the Glacier is only out from certain beaches and only at certain hours.

The next two galleries widen the radius. Tofino and Ucluelet are a three-hour drive across the Island, and the work there comes from years of camping there with my family. The wider Vancouver Island gallery is everything else: the estuaries above Nanaimo and the small lakes off the logging roads.

The full archive covers more than Vancouver Island. Fifteen years of travel across British Columbia and into the rest of Canada sits in the files, and the catalogue grows into it region by region. Comox Valley comes first, the rest of Vancouver Island follows, and then British Columbia landscape prints from the mainland. The order is set by where the archive is deepest. Some regions will get a full gallery; others will sit inside a broader collection until the body of work justifies their own page. Coordinates are kept on every file. If a print catches your eye and you want to know exactly where it was taken, just ask.
