Calgary Wildlife Rehabilitation Society
I have volunteered to take photos of some of the injured wildlife that has come through the Calgary Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre. The dedicated staff and volunteers see hundreds of raptors, songbirds and mammals each year. This hawk was being examined in the clinic and was none too happy about it. Notice the talons. This little [...]
New Gallery Representation
Westland Art Gallery in Cochrane, AB is now carrying several image of ours including “Stormy Sky”. This image was taken several years ago when I was out shooting near my parent’s farm in Southwest Saskatchewan. A storm was coming and the sky turned a dark moody blue just as the sun started to set. For [...]
The Kiss
My Mom and Dad recently visited and I coerced them into letting me photograph them. Neither are real excited about getting their picture taken. Especially when I start art directing. “No don’t look at me look at each other.” “Ok, can you walk back the other way so I can have the sunset to your [...]
homeless series
Two discarded sofas in the weirdest of places – beside a walking path in the middle of a green space – gave me the idea for a homeless series. Mark and I have talked about doing a series on homeless which is something we see everyday in downtown Calgary. We want to capture their stories [...]

Exposure Photography Festival
I am trying to decide which pieces to submit to the Exposure: the Calgary/Banff Photography Festival that happens in February. This is a great photography exhibition with speakers and a number of galleries participating that I visited last year but didn’t submit anything. I’m hoping this year will be different. The deadline for submissions is [...]
