Art is an emotional expression of consciousness that touches your soul.

In my photography, I try to express my relationship with my environment.  The journey is to make a connection between my consciousness and my images.  Sometimes it works.

A serious amateur photographer based in Nanaimo, BC on beautiful Vancouver Island,  I started photographing when I got my first camera in grade 8. My interests have ranged from portraits, sports photography, journalism, travel photography, and everything in between.  

My real passion is primarily black and white photography with an emphasis on long exposure.  I strive to show out the peace and serenity of the landscape using long exposure photography.   I hope to capture a small part of this in my photos. 

I use a Fuji GFX 50sii at present
I was inspired to try long exposure photography when I first saw an image by the great master Michael Kenna. I just sat there awestruck by its simplicity and the eternal beauty he captured. I found my passion. 

I have been influenced by aMarc Koegel, Cole Thompson, and of course Joel Tjintjelaar
Why do I take photos?  It excites me.  It brings out a passion for our natural surroundings.  I can share the beauty I see all around us.  The joy is finding beauty in the simplest thing. I just plain have fun taking photos.  Besides, it is an excuse to get outside.
