I am a retired wildlife biologist living in Canmore, Alberta.

 From a young age, I have been drawn to natural landscapes and the plants, animals and other creatures that depend upon them. Many Sunday afternoons were spent exploring the creeks, back fields and bush lots neighbouring our family farm. Indeed, many people “escape” to natural areas for adventure, solitude, and personal rejuvenation. Photography serves my needs. While many persons may be superficially impressed by the beauty that they observe, it takes time and effort to truly see the details that surround us.  I strive to capture the fleeting moments or the overlooked scenes that will delight the viewer and create a lasting memory.

 My primary photographic interests are landscapes (including agricultural landscapes), wildlife and wild plants. A latent interest in minimalist photography has recently emerged which often influences my compositions, particularly winter scenes. My field approach includes both detailed planning and flexibility. Specific locations and scenes may be selected subject to season, weather, and lighting conditions but unanticipated scenes are also pursued as opportunities arise. These delightful surprises are often the most rewarding.

I hope that you enjoy my photographs, and through them, share in my outdoor adventures.
