Making light of the ask
I’m sitting at the Blackbird Bakery across from 33-year-old Polek Rybczynski, and his almost two-year-old son Tae, leafing slowly through a proof of his coffee table book, Valley of Light. It’s the final stage of a project that began in 2014, when he committed to a personal practice of taking one photograph of the Pemberton … Continue reading Making light of the ask
Photo of the Week: Polek Rybczynski’s take on Mt Currie
I never get sick of this view. Polek shot it almost exactly 2 years ago. It was actually a reject from his daily photo blog, Valley of Light. Says Polek: For me this one represents taking a step back. Often times we get the low fog/mist in the valley and it gets to me sometimes … Continue reading Photo of the Week: Polek Rybczynski’s take on Mt Currie
Your coffee table wants you to support the Valley of Light photo project!
Wellness Almanac regular, and local photographer, Polek Rybczynski, embarked on a beautiful creative adventure in 2014. With a brand new baby in his life, he challenged himself to take one photograph a day. I love to look back on all the photographs now. They speak volumes to me. Our first son being born during the year … Continue reading Your coffee table wants you to support the Valley of Light photo project!
A year in the life – Polek Rybczynski hand-picks his favourite 13 images of 2015
I invited our weekly photo contributors to go through their own archives and do a year-in-review visual extravaganza, to help us close out 2015. Polek said, "I didn't think I shot much this year. I thought I'd only have a couple." In the end, he had 13. And the whole retrospective process reminded me of … Continue reading A year in the life – Polek Rybczynski hand-picks his favourite 13 images of 2015
Polek Rybczynski finds warmth in winter, Photo of the Week for Nov 29
Arctic fronts, I'm over you. Although, frozen lakes are a nice side effect. Still, I felt a true affinity when Polek shared his photo this week, with the following note: I wake up early for work, it's cold, i want to be warm; the car is cold, i want to be warm. My mind can … Continue reading Polek Rybczynski finds warmth in winter, Photo of the Week for Nov 29
This video of a 1 1/2 year old learning to surf will put a smile on your face
Last week, a Lillooet man posted a video of his 101 year old mom taking in the season's first snowfall. Today, Wellness Almanac photo contributor Polek Rybczynski shared with me a video of his 1 1/2 year old, Tae, discovering waves for the first time. Nice reminder, that we are wired for wonder. There's a … Continue reading This video of a 1 1/2 year old learning to surf will put a smile on your face
Dial STRAIGHT-UP for mountain time, photo of Mt Weart by Polek Rybczynski
Fall has arrived and the mountains are calling. Just back from an overnight in the alpine with a group of girls, I was stoked to find this image from Polek awaiting in my inbox. Polek soloed Mt Weart a few weeks back in a one day push from the carpark - a true gem. Gets Polek's … Continue reading Dial STRAIGHT-UP for mountain time, photo of Mt Weart by Polek Rybczynski
All eyes on the sky. A photo moment for July 12 with Polek Rybcyznski
Polek Rybcyznski captured this earlier in the week in one of the few openings in the smoke cover, and even though the inversion has lifted this weekend, I think it's still important to remember what it was like to spend a week under Wildlife Smoke Advisory. Not because I have any desire to wallow … Continue reading All eyes on the sky. A photo moment for July 12 with Polek Rybcyznski
