Welcome to my little corner of the web. This is the place where I tell you about me, do you know how hard it is to write about yourself? My wife and I live in Kingston, Ontario but also enjoy a little traveling here and there as well.
I first started this website under this name when I started shooting live music. I needed a way to display my images in a way that worked best for my work. I didn’t want all that compression synonymous with social media and a website was another solution. I don’t have any of my music stuff online currently as I don’t want to display work that I no longer do. What you will see here is work that I am still active creating in some way. Along the way I’ve also photographed weddings for a bit but decided that restricted too much of my time so stopped doing that.
I truly believe that there are two types of photographers. There are the technical ones who worry far too much about gear, and the second group are more creative and artistic, concerning themselves with all things creative. When I thought about it, almost all people I know whop are more creative have little concern for their gear, many not even knowing what gear they actually use. I used to study gear to the point where it actually took time away from the actual shooting, I was the geek who could tell you about this camera of that lens and I set out to change that. I’m now photographing new things and in new ways trying to create some new art along the way. I’m currently working on a couple of projects you will begin seeing very soon.
I am an editor, meaning that I truly love to sit down with a hot cup of tea and edit photos, often with some music on. I am of the belief that photography consists of two equal parts, the making of the image and the editing of it later in post. The post processing is where you inject “you” into the shot. That’s what gives it life in my opinion. We have some wonderful technology available to us but everything in moderation I think.
I plan on setting up some e-commerce pages on the site as time permits and sell some of my work. Most things you see on the site will be available as prints so if you’re interested, let me know and we can chat.
My approach to photography is simple. Photography is art. They say, make art that you love and believe in and your people will find you. I’m here, waiting to be found. :)
