My interest in photography began when I was 14 years old. During a summer

vacation I was handed the family camera and unofficially designated the trip

photographer. I loved it! A few images turned out well and so I continued to

experiment and learn the technical aspects of the craft.

Upon graduation from High School, I attended Ryerson Polytechnical Institute

where I received a Degree in Photographic Arts in 1987. While at Ryerson I was

introduced to the work of photographers such as Ansel Adams, Paul Caponigro,

Minor White and Edward Weston. I am awestruck by the emotional depth of

well-crafted, clearly-seen photographs. I am endlessly fascinated by the transformative power of the process, the extracting of pattern, shape and tone from the constant flow of life, and the organization of manufactured or random elements into objects for contemplation.

I relish the stillness and the meditative state of mind in those singular moments of the creative process, a restful attention that replenishes my spirit.
