raise my voice's photostream  

I am a freelance writer, editor, photographer, musician, activist, and artist in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Much of my work involves the inner city, as I edit a community newspaper there. Other topics of journalistic interest include literature, music, religion, and relationships. I write for a variety of local publications and websites, and maintain my own blog at sacredsocialjustice.blogspot.com.

I have been involved with Edmonton's two street newspapers to varying degrees, and am very much an activist when it comes to issues such as affordable housing and poverty.

On a global level, I am a peace and environmental activist. I am a bicycle commuter and write and perform original songs at events, as well as donating my performances as a musician and stick juggler to a variety of causes.

The purpose of these collections is to showcase what is going on in Edmonton, especially concerning the social justice and activism that takes place at a variety of marches, rallies, and actions. I also document Edmonton's many events, attractions, and festivals, and sometimes I take pictures of things simply because they are beautiful.
