Welcome to a sampling of my Muses! A bit about me.

Most of my life, I have trained and have always leaned towards the arts. In so far, before and during my post-secondary education I have also had the honour of being published: both fiction and poetry - my first loves. I have also Produced, Directed, Written and done Camera work on various short films of my own, that have gone on to screenings in various International Film/Video Festivals, and have met with some acclaim.

I picked up a still-camera in May 2004 for the first time. I've been overwhelmed with the response, publications, awards, features and acclaim that my photography has received in such a short period. My thank-you to everyone! I guarantee, it will only get better from here.

Oddly enough, photography found me, and I embraced it.

So Why Art? Expression, Beauty. To capture moments of great emotion, or lack thereof. To feed the compulsion.

If you don't know anything about Licensing or Acquisition Agreements for example, then I suggest you not remove any of my work, or the work of others from the site as you first require consent, and second, it's considered copyright infringement/intellectual property theft. Or, just plain art theft, and is a serious crime. Alteration of any kind to any photographic work, or distribution outside of 'flickr.com' (even for personal use) in electronic and/or hard copy format is prohibited without consent of the license holder - that person being me.

Please respect this, or you could be sued. Just a heads up.
