Photography got a hold of me in 2002 .  In preparation for a trip to Alaska that never happened, I bought my first SLR camera and a 600 page photography book. After devouring it in one weekend, I realized I was hooked.

Wanting to take my burgeoning passion beyond a casual hobby, I enrolled in night school at Sheraton College. Once I understood the mechanics could handle the gear, I sought out creative mentorship from Freeman Patterson and Andre Gallant, two master Canadian outdoor photographers. Through their thoughtful and kind guidance, I learned how to see.

My bags of equipment have accompanied me on every workshop, business trip, vacation, and relocation since 2004. Photography connects me to the natural world, and makes me a generally more enjoyable person.

One of the gifts of 2020 was taking a virtual trip through thousands of images on my hard drives.  This gallery and a return to photography how I express in the world is the result of that exploration.

This gallery 👇 is a selection to represent my body of work accumulated over the years.  A larger collection, searchable by sub-galleries and colours is here.
