Photography is my life.
I've had a camera in my hands since I was four. I've used everything from a box Brownie to Haselblads to 8x10 field cameras. Now I only use digital equipment.
I spent 20 years as a photojournalist (Canadian Press, Ottawa Citizen), another 10 as director of photography for the Athlete Information Bureau (Sport Canada) and as chief photographer for the Canadian Olympic Association. I covered four winter and three summer Olympics, three Commonwealth Games and three Pan American Games!
For the past decade, as owner of my own photo business, I've done commissions, portraits and general assignments. Now I focus more on fine art photography and have opened a small gallery in my studio.
I am available for portraits.
