Photographic Art & Technology … the perfect marriage!

Welcome to my website showcasing some of my photographic work. I have been passionate about photography ever since I acquired my first camera in 1976 and witnessed my first B+W photos emerge in the darkroom … a truly magical experience. Today, after 50+ years in the photography industry, I still enjoy creating images with the latest gear and love interacting with like-minded photographers around the world.

I enjoy landscape, travel and wildlife photography in addition to some “street” and “urban” photography. I also do portrait and commercial photography for selected clients upon request. I don’t really see the need to specialize because I enjoy photographing buildings as much as hummingbirds. Any subject is fair game and I find that varying my subjects keeps me stimulated … especially when travelling.

My formal education in Systems Design Engineering (B.A.Sc.) landed me a job at at Kodak Canada in the Professional Photography Division. After leaving Kodak, I obtained a Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) and Master of Business Administration (MBA) degrees and decided to carve out a career in the Canadian photographic industry founding CameraCanada CameraCanada.com in 2001. As the camera world moved from film to digital in the late-1990s, I migrated my personal photographic equipment from film cameras to early digital cameras alongside my customers who were doing the same!

There is no doubt that that the travel bug bit early in my life. I enjoy visiting different countries to capture unique expressions, animals and landscapes with my camera. Of course, I also enjoy non-photography things while traveling such as good food, interesting music and discussions with people I meet. Travel photography is one of the most satisfying parts of my artistic life and continues to be the best way for me to relax and express myself artistically while enjoying life traveling around the world.

The best aspect of photography for me is that it’s a marriage of technology and art. Let’s face it, you need to have technical knowledge of your camera equipment coupled with an artistic flair to make a good photograph. I’m constantly learning new things about cameras and image processing even at my old age! I’m as excited to try a new camera or lens in a unique location as I was back in the 1970’s. I hope this passion continues for a long time!

I hope you enjoy my work.
