I am a Canadian photographer and I photograph a lot. This gallery contains my perspective of the world where I live and people and places in my travels, both down the road and places afar. Simplistic but true, photography catches the moment, rekindles and reminds of the weathered barn, the lover’s sigh, the hawk scream, the territorial plea of the songbird, the child’s glee or the fading sky. It also offers the opportunity to view the fleeting in more detail, admire nature’s intricate gift or capture the emotional appeal of a family celebration.
