Haha, thanks Colin! Considering many of my hed suggestions don't end up as winners, this is gratifying :p

This is fantastic news. Congratulations, Daniel! It was a pleasure to work with you.

I am so honoured! And now I'm twitching to get back to the bog. Thanks for the great flashback, Tyee. I love the story you've written--can't wait to see where it goes

A man is enveloped by steam coming off a vat of cooking fish as he holds the handle of a large ladle

Thank goodness for levelheaded art directors because I would def publish stories with 100+ photos crammed in them if I were left alone. Here's one of the outtakes from my recent feature story on the Nisga'a eulachon harvest: a fisherman enveloped by pungent steam as he cooks a batch of "grease"

What is this era of calamity we’re in? Some say ‘polycrisis’ captures it The term ‘polycrisis’ has gained traction as we face one disaster after another. It’s overwhelming – but diagnosing the catastrophe is the first step to addressing it

What a quote 🙌🏻 “If you’re not really scared by what’s going on in the world, you’re braindead.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I love that observation. (And thank you for this nice shout out!)

Thanks for not saying “this story stinks” 😄

I knew ants were cool, but the tidbit in here about how they can propel themselves backward just by snapping their mandibles... 🤯

Where the Savior Fish Still Swims In an era of collapse, a fabled fish keeps coming back to Nisga’a nation.

Salmon get all the limelight on the Pacific Northwest coast, but for hundreds of years this tiny, lesser-known fish saved the lives of humans and predators, fueled a vast trade network, and played a critical role in cultural cohesion of Indigenous communities.

Our latest feature:

Where the Savior Fish Still Swims In an era of collapse, a fabled fish keeps coming back to Nisga’a nation.

"Indigenous peoples relied on eulachon to deliver them from hunger at winter’s end, earning the fish the heady titles of 'savior' or 'salvation fish.'"

If you need a break from <waves hands at everything> I recommend this @biographic.bsky.social fish feature.

Where the Savior Fish Still Swims In an era of collapse, a fabled fish keeps coming back to Nisga’a nation.

I'm so grateful to the amazing people who welcomed me to their territory and openly shared stories and knowledge. I recognize what an immense privilege it was as an outsider to be invited out on the river fishing and into Nisga'a camps, homes, and smokehouses www.biographic.com/where-the-sa...

Aw, thank you Ben!!

Thanks for sharing this!

I’m just now wondering what the rental car company must have thought of me when I returned an SUV steeped for days in some very fishy gear 🐟

Congrats Kate 🎉

Who Watches the Watchers? - bioGraphic The recent charging of prominent documentarians in British Columbia court is raising important questions about the ethics of wildlife videography.

Robert Capa's mantra—"If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough"—runs through the minds of photographers/videographers like tv ticker tape. It can be SO hard to self police and hold back, but when we get too close to wildlife, the animals suffer www.biographic.com/who-watches-...

Many of you likely saw "Island of the Sea Wolves", the 2022 Netflix series about British Columbia's coastal wildlife.

But what you _didn't_ see was the three minutes of illegally-obtained killer whale footage that a BC court judge barred from being included in the series. 🧵🐙📷📽️🧪

“For me, Hakai was a sure bet for education. I learned about butterflies, bats, urchins, and rats, and loved every minute of it. I could count on awe and delight, often right from the headline”—what a heartwarming tribute to Hakai longreads.com/2025/01/10/l... Thank you @kristastevens.bsky.social

I see you sourced some archival footage from our launch 😜

One of my favourite shoots to date!

Lol, no way, Plank Master!

Thanks @ridingmybike.bsky.social, @judeisabella.bsky.social and @toughcitywriter.bsky.social for inviting me on to the team 9+ years ago!

Too many other great mems from assignments and daily life on the editorial team to list. I am prone to gush about incredible colleagues and collaborators, so will stop hogging digital space and save that for another day.

Another unforgettable moment was seeing polar bears up close on assignment with the amazing Cheryl Katz hakaimagazine.com/features/wit...

Crocodiles Rising | Hakai Magazine In the Northern Territory of Australia, policymakers and biologists managed the impossible—making the benefits of living with a booming population of deadly crocodiles outweigh the risks. But when two...

Also unforgettable: staring a saltwater crocodile in the eye underwater with only a sheet of thin mesh preventing me from becoming dinner hakaimagazine.com/features/cro...

The Art of Bones | Hakai Magazine Reconstructing a blue whale skeleton is an art form—so is keeping it clean.

I will never forget the wild experience of standing inside a blue whale's mouth for this story. Yes the whale was dead and dangling from a ceiling--but, still, surreal! hakaimagazine.com/features/art...

It was a career highlight when one of those images appeared on the cover of Annie Proulx's Fen, Bog and Swamp! www.simonandschuster.com/books/Fen-Bo...

The Secret World of Bog | Hakai Magazine Photos of a lesser-known ecosystem, from British Columbia’s outer coast.

On a day trip from Hakai Institute's Calvert Island site, I got immersed in photographing bog species and ended up utterly lost. Thank gawd the scientists I went with didn't leave, condemning me to being the subject of a mortifying search and rescue operation hakaimagazine.com/videos-visua...

Where Camels Take to the Sea | Hakai Magazine In Gujarat, India, a special breed of camel is not constrained by land—but cannot escape the many forces of change.

I got strep throat, nearly passed out from dehydration, split my foot, got hassled by border guards, slipped in camel shit, and had a colony of biting ants up my pants all on day one, but reporting this story was a dream come true hakaimagazine.com/features/whe...
