The Nature of Photography

After majoring in Math at the University of Waterloo, I spent seven years in the business world. I never thought of myself as an artist, although I loved to draw when I was young.

My mother gave me a camera and photography book when I graduated from college, and I snapped a lot of photos over the years. Around the age of 40, I became fascinated with Ansel Adams and took my first darkroom photography class.

I WAS HOOKED!

I love, love, love photography and want to share some of that love with you.

What I discovered along the way is that what I love most about photography is the process. Photography can be a meditative and healing practice. This is what I now teach in my workshops.

You can find my work for sale through print on demand sites, mainly Imagekind and Zazzle.

I also write about photography and other things on my blog and on the Squidoo platform. Find out more as you read this page.
