It has been a winding path leading to this place. My grandfather was a photographer in Europe all his life. He made his living at this, well into his 90’s. I was born in Canada, July 14, 1968. I grew up watching my father, a hobbyist, create fascinating prints in his makeshift darkroom. I picked up a camera on New Years Day 1987 at the age of eighteen and spent an entire day wandering through fields and forest taking photographs of images I still have today. I should have known from the joy of that day, I should pursue photography. But being a practical soul I discounted it and began college. In the mid-nineties I enjoyed a three year career as a computer and network consultant at a Toronto corporation. I started song writing and composing music at this time, successfully publishing the fourth song I co-wrote to then Warner Chappell Records. The artistic side was beginning to resurface. At this time I began to hone my photography skills. In the year 2000, after seeing prints of the “Simcoe Steam Train 136”, “Citroen”, and “Seeder in Grasses”, all on the same roll of film, I made a decision. I would pursue a new career. A passing thought shelved years ago, had found its time. I have been showing and selling my photography for over six years and exhibit at galleries, art shows, and travelling exhibitions.
