de Ned: Last night our group had a circle chat with two elders of the Bear Clan up in Northern BC. They spoke of dozens of years of systematic oppression. Of children being forcibly taken and put into foster homes, of sacred land being logged, of pipelines throug

de Ned: Jannette Brodersen @yoga.fit.nez is a fitness trainer and yogi. She kicks ass and leaves you sweating for more. Recently I had the opportunity to photograph her in Vancouver while she stepped a client, Federico @fziza, through a training session. New
de Ned: I'm a tech guy. There's no doubt about that. I have never met a piece of equipment that I couldn't figure out how to run. Maybe you're like this, too? I've been trained as an engineer and technologist, which means I can also build and repair most of that

de Ned: While out walking today I came upon a tiger, and I asked the tiger: “Dear sweet Tiger, I see you have only one tooth in your mouth, and I see you are not hungry. You must still have fight inside of you?” “Well well well,” Tiger said, “Do you think such a

de Ned: I've been slowly getting more and more disturbed at the frequency in which words and thought get lost in a digital world. A pure fact of digital data is that once power goes out, all information is lost. What would this mean for all of us, if the power we
