I spent a lot of time on a recent train trip from #Vancouver to #Toronto on railway sidings, waiting for a slow-moving freight train to pass.

In the US, Amtrak trains have legal precedence over freight trains.

That's not the case in #Canada, where VIA Rail plays second fiddle to Class One freights like CPKC.

Does it have to be this way? I take a look in the latest HIGH SPEED dispatch:

You may have noticed that this account has been quiet lately!

We're not dormant, but we have capacity challenges. As it stands, we only have a single person who updates both our Bluesky and Mastodon accounts, alongside many other organizing tasks.

If you're in Vancouver (especially if you're part of our Discord already!) and you'd like to help us maintain activity on Mastodon, please reach out to us!

Hey #believeinfilm friends,

I reviewed "Becky's Purse," a book that uses found object photography to portray the author's old friend, an addict who lives around the Lower East Side in Vancouver:

The book is a wonderfully unique art piece that connected me to the lives that are least understood yet just as real as mine and yours.

Kids grow up incredibly fast, and those fleeting seasons pass before we realize it.

Investing in family photography isn't just about getting a nice photo for the holiday card; it is about freezing time.

Whether it is a cozy indoor session or exploring the beautiful trails around Vancouver, capturing these authentic memories is always worth it.

We have all seen those ultra-stiff, heavily airbrushed corporate photos that do not look like real human beings.

Getting a portrait taken should just be about capturing you as you are—genuine, relaxed, and approachable. Taking photos of people is really just about making them forget there is a camera in the room.

Corporate photography is no longer about stiff boardroom portraits. It's about capturing the authentic energy and culture of your workplace to build immediate digital trust with your clients.

I'm reviewing all my colour film photos from the summer. This one from July is probably the best of all my architectural shots.

Not sure why I overlooked it when I got my negs back for scanning.
