Welcome

Hi, I’m Patrick Johanneson.

I take a lot of pho­tos, many of them after dark (I par­tic­u­lar­ly like get­ting shots of the auro­ra and the Milky Way).

I write sci­ence fic­tion & fan­ta­sy. My work has been pub­lished in Inter­Text, Ecclec­ti­ca, On Spec, Tesser­acts 14, and Dai­ly Sci­ence Fic­tion.  I won the Man­i­to­ba Short Fic­tion con­test in ’04.

I have a blog:

• 
  Anoth­er hoary day
  Hoar­frost / rime ice and some blue sky—it’s a potent combination.
• 
  My favourite pho­tos, 2025 edi­tion
  Top 10. (Plus, like, 25 others.)
• 
  Books for the new year
  Becky Cham­bers and T. Kingfisher.
• 
  The tree is up
  And I’ve had some eggnog.
• 
  Arcs
  Stars in motion. (Well, kind of.)

Way, way more »

I also enjoy web­site pro­gram­ming, teach­ing judo, Cana­di­an and indie cin­e­ma, and Norse mythol­o­gy.  I live in Man­i­to­ba with my wife Kathleen.

Je sais par­ler français, mais… lente­ment. Je ne m’en sers pas beau­coup dans ma petite ville.

You can find me on Face­book, Mastodon, and BlueSky.^[1]I used to use Twit­ter, but… well, you know.. I also very occa­sion­al­ly post pho­tos on Insta­gram, but you’re more like­ly to find ’em here.
