Thanks for visiting my website! My photography starts and<br />
finishes with my family. Daisy and Maria enjoy being<br />
out in the field, the three of us are always together<br />
while shooting, and editing!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Born in Hamilton Ontario, I am one of eight children raised in Stoney
Creek. Our family heritage in Canada goes back to the 1,700's on both
sides, so I guess I am very much a Canadian. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our parents took us camping several times a year, where my passion for
adventure began. Intrigued by nature from a very young age, I wanted to some
day be able to capture the beauty, and share the images with everyone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I
started shooting slide film with an all-manual Canon Ftb in the late 70’s!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My serious photography dream became a reality when the digital age became
affordable. I had a good sense of connection with photography, but it didn't
really catch hold of it until the Nikon D70 camera and a 70-300 mm lens was in
hand.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
An intense passion for nature photograph started with that equipment back in
2003 when visiting the humpback whales with my boat in 2003.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What an incredible experience! From there,
raptors and songbirds here in Ontario helped me develop my skills as a nature
photographer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My passion lives with sharing the beauty if nature. My images resemble
what I see as close as possible, never using any alternate light source.
My post processing is quick, and easy, as I try to do all the creative work in
the field, with my camera. Editing each image takes between 2-3 minutes
to finish.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Learning bird photography is a long process. Understanding the
technical side came easy to me, with many years of SLR cameras, but photographing
birds? Well, this is a different story.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After about 3 years of daily study and practice, I started hosting
workshops. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Local programs here in southern Ontario helped keep me
busy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From there I started a full time
business in January 2009. Retired from my HVAC contracting business, then
moving on to travel tours so Ecuador, Newfoundland, Yellowstone, Costa Rica,
India and Africa became my favourite destinations.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The learning continues, as I develop this business, and my photography
skills I really enjoy the challenge more then anything.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Helping others enjoy nature and learning
nature skills can be most wonderful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks to everyone for the continued support. The ride has been
superb, and the sweet light gets better all the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please respect nature, and take care. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
