“Great photography is 1/3 the camera, 1/3 the photographer’s eye, and 1/3 the opportunity”
“In my well-treed backyard, we see stunning blossoms in the Spring, fruit growing over the Summer, brilliantly coloured leaves in the Fall, and interesting formations of ice and snow over Calgary’s very uncertain Winter.”
“In our nearby national and provincial parkS, I get to document about six months of summer hiking, and six months of winter skiing, with the weather conditions, lighting, and wildlife changing with every visit!”
