Biography
As a child the ever changing landscape of the Manitoba prairie was my home. The people and the landscape were varied and full of surprises, sparking a fascination with drawing and painting.
The purchase of my first 35mm camera in 1975 led to my lifelong passion for photography and the creation of images. For a long period in the 80s I shot almost exclusively in black and white, spending long hours in the darkroom processing and printing. The candid black and white work of Henri Cartier-Bresson was and continues to be a great inspiration.
In the 90s I began to shoot more of the natural and human environment. I gravitated towards colour film and fell in love with the rich palette of colours and detail that I could obtain by using fine grain film and shooting on a medium format camera.
Recently I have been especially inspired by the work of Andre Gallant and Freeman Patterson. Some of my latest work has involved the sandwiching of 2 or more transparencies together to create montages.
