When I was a teenager in the tenth grade, I somehow learned that many of my favourite music videos were directed by a man who went by the name Little X, whose legal name is Julien Christian Lutz, and who is now professionally known as Director X, and who I consider a great mentor, colleague, and friend.

One of the most memorable aspects of my first trip to Japan was meeting, producing, and photographing the breakdancing crew BodyCarnival for a project that I will announce in the future.

When Canon Canada invited me to help shape their new IGNITE program, I saw more than an opportunity to teach photography or filmmaking; I saw an opportunity to share a way of life and the importance of mindfulness.

From Tuesday, May 6, 2025, to Friday, May 9, 2025, I attended Departure Festival and Conference in Toronto, an ambitious reimagining of Canadian Music Week (CMW), which ran until Sunday, May 11, 2025, and which originally launched in 1982 as The Record Music Industry Conference.
