About
At 15, I purchased my first camera, a flashcube Instamatic-that camera changed my life, and I still have it, as well as the Canon F1 that followed it. I was looking for a career in photography when the Thunder Bay Fire Dept. made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. The camera got put aside for the next 27 years, life was a whirlwind of scuba diving, winter camping, renovating, boats, summer camps and country music roadtrips, all tolerated patiently by my wife and 3 kids. In 2000 I took an early retirement, and rediscovered photography. I started with the usual rocks & trees photos, and got interested in photography as wall art. Eventually the fine art photos led to some glamour work, which is the majority of what I do today. I had a small studio for 10 years, met some amazing people, and learned a lot from them. I’m a photoshop junkie, and I’m constantly trying to teach an old dog new tricks 
I belonged to the Professional Photographers of Canada for 4 years, mostly to enter the national print show, until I realized I was getting awards for photos that I can’t even show in Thunder Bay. I usually work 1 on 1, although sexy couples shoots are catching on. Word of mouth is my best marketing tool, ask around.

Still figuring out the details, but it’s up and running. As for the future, only the shadows know.
