Gary Martin pays respect to Ts’zil, our mountain

There are two things I hope you get out of this photo, from Gary Martin, reposted from his instagram account.

The first, as is always our intention when we share the work of local photographers: an injection of appreciation, into your day, of this place we live.

Second, the reminder, to never put anybody in a box. No one is just a clerk, a mom, a designer. Gary was my colleague at Origin for several years. He was the pictures guy. I was the word girl. We had roles to play. We had strengths. I relished our collaborations. But just because I’m a word girl and he’s a design nerd, doesn’t mean the man can’t throw down some poetry.

Am I right?

Here is the caption that stopped me in my tracks. Thanks Gary for always stopping to appreciate. And to share.

Ts’zil, 2,591 metres of mountain that talks to everyone who lives in its shadow.
