Growing up, I was always interested in beautiful photographs and that led me to always be (I don't know how else to express it) seeing the world in terms of a frame. After college I briefly dabbled with a camera, but it wasn’t until my 50s—when I finally picked up a DSLR—that I truly began exploring photography and working on composition in particular.
While I'd always loved sunsets, being an early riser I decided to try rising even earlier to see what sunrises might hold—and that became my passion. There’s something about the quiet light of the early morning, the stillness before the day begins, that inspires me every time.
While I shoot outdoors, my work often isn’t traditional landscape photography. Instead of capturing the entire scene, I’ll be drawn to the smaller stories within a view - the shapes, textures, and patterns that might otherwise be overlooked - what I call "macro landscape".
Most of my photography focuses on Vancouver Island, a place of endless beauty and subtle detail. Whether it’s water catching the first light, the silhouette of a tree against the sky, or the shifting colors of the horizon, my goal is always the same: to capture those fleeting, often hidden moments that invite you to pause and look closer.
