I started taking photographs when I was 13, after my folks bought me a camera as a Christmas present. I haven't stopped since. I studied at The University of British Columbia where I received a degree in Art History.
I have received some great advice along the way, and a lot of fantastic support. The best advice came from Ted Grant who said, 'You can have the best work in the world and if you don't put it in front of people, you'll never get anywhere.' This site is part of my attempt to put my work in front of as many eyes as possible.
I've worked in all types of photography. I've done gum printing, large-format with ancient lenses. I've shot digital with the latest cameras, and my uncle recently gave me my grandfather's old Leica IIIf to use.
I didn't attempt to find my style so much as it found me.
I love industrial landscapes and the city lights at night, especially if it's foggy. I find I can't say no to any object made after 1910 and before 1965, especially if it comes from my grandmother's house. I find I have far too many things to photograph and not enough time to take all the pictures. I hope hard work will cure that.
I've always lived in Vancouver. I love this city, even if it doesn't have the same light as Sydney, Australia or the South of France. It's home.
I share my home with my lovely wife, Kirsten and my beautiful daughters, Margot and Elise.
