Who Are You?
I’m Duncan Rawlinson. I make images and invest in things I believe in.
I live in the Thousand Islands region of Ontario, Canada with my two kids. Originally from Saskatchewan and raised in Ottawa, I was inspired by my father to pursue photography. I’m a learner-builder-creator: someone drawn to continuous learning, deliberate action, and long-term thinking. My primary areas of interest are investing and photography.
My photography has been published internationally, including in the New York Times, and exhibited at the Smithsonian. Over the years I’ve built an archive of more than a million photographs spanning multiple continents. I’ve been documenting Burning Man since 2012, creating one of the most comprehensive aerial and ground-level photographic records of the event, and I’m a member of the Burning Man Documentation Team.
On the investing side I have had a ~31% CAGR since 2013.
Both photography and investing provide infinite game style learning, which is why I’m drawn to them. Investing is a great way to learn about reality.
I’m deeply interested in AI and how it’s transforming both image-making and how we learn. I work with AI tools to create new kinds of images and explore the intersection of technology and creativity.
