Have you seen something so many times you don’t even register it anymore? Well that’s a quandary I tackled a couple weeks back by forcing myself to take photos every time I took the Bowen ferry for 5 crossings.

Hey guys my name’s Tristan I’m a photographer and videographer and I’ve lived on boen for over 20 years starting from today I’ll be taking a series of photos every time I take the fery for the next five trips this is to explore my connection with this trip that’s become a little
Mundane see the thing is I’ve taken the trip so many times that I don’t see the beauty in it anymore and wouldn’t it be nice if I could do something about that here is some info on the trip so the ferry covers a total distance of 2.9
Nautic miles which is 5.3 km across the Queen Charlotte Channel which gives me exactly 20 minutes per Crossing to take photos I’m going to be using different cameras for every trip just to spice things up Pass Thank you And cigarettes please ask the crew member thank you and safe Travels In In photography and so often in life inspiration does doesn’t always come naturally and that is true for connecting to a place as well forcing myself to spend 20 minutes each Crossing to look hard at an environment I thought I knew so well was an opportunity to learn something new on
This silly challenge I’ve realized that creating photos makes new positive mental connections with my subject matter no matter the conditions how stunning or mundane the place is photography enables meditation and the camera is just the tool to enter the flow state which is so important to connect with the
Place hey guys thanks for watching this video here are a couple more for you to check out and I’ll see you guys around Bye

Pausing to look and actually "see" something is often a challenge in our fast-paced world. Thank you for this creative and personal journey of seeing something old as new again. This is a thought-provoking perspective and you've captured many beautiful images of this place. Thanks, Tristan.
