Imagination. Passion. Curiosity. Stories. Personality. Creativity.
These are the elements that drive my spirit and inform my images. I strive to weave these factors into all my work, and to bring them out of my subjects. Every photograph tells a story. Imagery and emotion are fundamental to the human experience.
My enduring romance with photography began over 35 years ago with my first 35mm camera back in the late ’70s that launched a passion for B&W photography. Through the ‘80s I shot mainly portraits of my friends, and their bands, around the streets of Vancouver, and a few weddings too. In those days I spent a lot of late nights in the red light of my own darkroom developing film and printing my photos. Those hands-on, physical years were a natural foundation for a transition to the digital world that really started to take off in the ’90s where the tools took their cues from the same techniques. I have subsequently spent more time working in digital than I did in chemicals, however that early experience was invaluable.
As a photographer I aim to connect and convey the emotional impact of a scene with our most innate and primal existential elements. In doing so, I strive to reveal connections that we all share.
My enduring hope is that some of my work will kindle, or rekindle and awaken, your spirit and passion, and engage you from within.
