About

I'm passionate about photography and have photographed a variety of subjects for over 30 years and look forward to more exploring, admiring and creating. I photograph at locations close to home in the Toronto area and also at distant locations. Over the next few years I hope to complete my project to photograph many beautiful locations in every province and territory in Canada. Through photography I hope my images will help others to reach a deeper appreciation of nature, structures, locations and much more.

I was born in Toronto and have always resided in the area and over several years I’ve observed this area grow and develop into the thriving area it is today. Prior to my early retirement I worked full-time for over 33 years creating photos and a variety of graphic and visual products for city planning and urban design projects and occasionally on weekends I enjoyed providing wedding and portrait photography services for many years.

My photography has been exhibited at the Etobicoke Civic Centre Art Gallery (3 times), Montgomery's Inn Community Room Gallery (twice), Mississauga Living Arts Centre Gallery, Areej Artists Centre and Peel County Restaurant Gallery. I look forward to exhibiting my photography at more galleries for group and solo exhibitions.

Images I’ve created have been published in City of Etobicoke Annual Reports, Business and Finance magazine, City of Etobicoke Business Directory, Financial Times of Canada newspaper, Canadian Architect, Skydome calendar, a book titled "Like No Other in The World: The Story of Toronto's SkyDome", a Bid Book for the Toronto Ontario Olympic Council and a minicard for the Downtown Yonge Business Improvement Area (Minicards Canada).

Images I’ve created have been included in the following City of Toronto publications: City Planning Annual Reports, Toronto Plan - A Land Use Strategy for Toronto, Toronto Plan Directions Report, City Centre West Secondary Plan Directions Report, Toronto’s Downtown Heritage (brochure), Toronto Heritage Grant Program (postcards), Toronto Parks and Trails Map, Toronto Cycling Map, City Planning Strategic Plan, Tall Building Design Guidelines, Toronto Recycling Calendar and Guide, Toronto’s Graffiti Transformation Program (brochure), Chief Planner Roundtable - volume 1, Feeling Congested? and a Toronto Recycling and Garbage Collection calendar.

I completed several photography courses from the Humber College Continuing Education program and over several years I've attended many photography seminars and workshops. Being a member of the Etobicoke Camera Club for many years increased my interest, passion and knowledge of photography. I'm currently a member of the Mississauga Camera Club and recently served seven consecutive years on the Board of Directors while also being the Director of Program. I've won several awards (many ribbons, 4 trophies) from camera club photography competitions in various genres of photography. I'm inspired often while viewing the many amazing images created by camera club members and our guest presenters.

I enjoy music very much and for entertainment purposes create audio-visual shows containing a variety of my images. My audio-visual shows have been presented at private functions and camera club meetings.

Photos are what I create with a camera, images are what I produce after I refine and improve the photos using Photoshop and other software. Technology keeps improving creative opportunities and I continue to learn about photography, software and image editing. Creating an exceptional image of a moment in time of a unique or beautiful subject creates a special feeling and I look forward to creating many more images to achieve that satisfaction. I welcome you to explore my photographic creations by viewing my galleries and I hope many images create a special feeling for you as well.

Thanks for visiting. If you have any questions or comments please send me an email, I'd like to hear from you.
