A native of Sarnia, in Southwestern Ontario, Canada, I enjoy a variety of photographic projects, encompassing analog & digital photography. My work varies greatly based on the current season and location. From the serenity of a cemetery to the hustle of a city, you'll find me, camera in-hand.

With a lifetime of travel, both personal & work related, the wanderlust remains.

As always, prints are available & gallery inquiries are welcome.

Photography is my zen. And, maybe yours.

Hello! Bonjour! Hola!

“As a young person, and I know it’s hard to believe that I was shy, but you could take your camera, and it would take you to places: it was like having a friend, like having someone to go out with and look at the world. I would do things with a camera I wouldn’t do normally if I was just by myself.” ~ Annie Leibovitz
