BIO

Hi thank you for visiting my website and viewing my work.

While I have been taking photos for some time for myself and work (mostly product and project photos), like most artists finding the right time to make the leap to professional is always the big question. And obviously that time is now.

It was always a dream to be an artist and musician, however generally these career choices do not pay the bills.

Since this is a Bio lets start with the corporate world.

Now retired, I was the National sales and marketing manager for a brick and stone importer for Canada and the US based in Vancouver BC.  I left them in 2020 and, yes, this was right before the pandemic.

During that time, I used my art skills to produce our companies first catalog from my home office after hours. In the years following this became the model for their national and international marketing strategy. They now produce 5 full product line catalogues distributed throughout Canada and the western United States for dealer distribution.

After my retirement the trick was to keep myself occupied for a few years until my wife also retires.

That, and my wife said I “really” must find something to do and stop driving her nuts.

My wife has long suggested that I should pursue photography. While I have always viewed this as only a hobby, a few years ago she submitted a photo to her company's photo contest, in which I placed first.

So, lesson learned … listen to the wife!

And that brings us to today.

This convoluted path has rekindled my passion for photography and the arts. I find myself inspired like I was in university studying education and music. Who knew?  Well, we know who knew!

 

I hope you enjoy these photographs as much as enjoyed taking them. I hope they inspire you to find your own happiness and path in life.
