My long love of visually documenting humanity and their environs comes in handy when photographing wedding celebrations. Much of my knowledge of story capture is applied the same way. My fine arts degree adds a visual element when doing the creatives. My approach remains discreet and candid, sometimes playful, and other times I step in and guide the family groupings or direct the creatives (when requested or needed). People say they did not notice me throughout the day. Perfect I think.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Most likely due to my influence in Fine Arts, my tendency is to imitate or be influenced by artists I studied. For instance René Magritte when photographing weddings or when I see a man wearing a hat. Three influential artists that come to mind are Marcel Duchamp, Robert Rauschenberg and Francis Bacon to name a few.

My fascination for people and their stories runs deep.

I don't differentiate from the street person to the highest achiever on the financial scale and everything in between. My curiosity stems simply from "What does it mean to be human"?

Handmade Forest, the Treeplanter's Experience

...each year 200 million tree seedlings are planted in BC, almost a third of the 650 million planted in Canada

"A timely, well-written book about a phase of forestry in Canada that is little known. Few people can even comprehend the hardships of working in a world of devastation left by the legal vandals of industry, let alone feel for these magnificent people who take to the battlegrounds in the woods to try and reverse desertification. Possibly this book - with its superb pictorial record - may help to change peoples' outlook." Merv Wilkinson pioneer of the "New Forestry"

This world has so much to offer and often one does not have to go to the far corners of the planet in search of images although it's still my favorite thing to do! I remind myself when I keep my eyes open on a path I've walked several dozen times here at home, there's always something new to see. It’s constant.
