For starters, I don't drink beer anymore. Not because I don't want to, but because my doctor told me it has gluten in it, which my digestive system recently started getting pissy about. "Shoot me now" I said. He said "No worries. They have gluten-free beer." I don't know if any of you have ever tried gf substitutes, but none of them taste good, and you can definitely add beer to that unbelievably long list. And why does a tiny loaf of freezer-burned bread cost $18? If you ever thought those gluten-freedom fighters were just insane hypochondriacs, (like I used to) try a gf beer. Nobody wants this.
But I digress...
...10th birthday. This was one of mom and dads presents, and the only one I can remember - the one that mattered. When they realized how expensive those flash cubes were, and what a prolific photographer their boy was, they soon regretted it. Most of the snaps in the family albums were down to yours truly, so I guess in the end they were a good investment. The minute I cashed my first paycheck at 18, I was in the camera store picking out a Canon AE-1. A year later, I had a full darkroom and was choking on fumes every week or so. Photography has changed so much since then, and my love for it has only grown. For all the high definition video out there, a slice of time can still tell a story or bring back a flood of memories. It's my way of panning for gold.

Expertise
I have been an avid photographer for decades, but just started building my professional portfolio and online presence in 2011. More recently I have been working on other skills and talents, including video production, graphic design, desktop publishing and desktop music production (incorporating studio sampled instruments and orchestras from here and around the world). For more information or samples please enquire.

I am based in Calgary, Alberta, but will travel just about anywhere to get special shots (environmental portraits are my favourite!). And if you want a photographer to travel with you to far-flung places to document your absolute awesomeness, let's talk!
