In case any of you might not know, photography is not just a hobby for me, but has been my career since since 2006.  For a time, it was strictly business and wasn't even a hobby.  And having grown up with little interest in it, photography was something I surprised to find myself doing at all. So why am I a photographer?

It's been a while, as I thought I would have sent out an update before mid-summer, but focusing on my commercial photography services this year has really kept me occupied more than I anticipated. If you've followed my instagram, you know that this spring I went on a very fruitful trip to the island of Kauai (both literally and figuratively) and when I returned I was hoping...

So what happened? Last you heard from me, I was about to embark on a little trek to an old ghost town near Whistler, BC. And embark I did. That was the last week of August, ie, forever ago. I would like to report that while the "ghost town" is no longer standing, a single shack still is, so it's more of a "ghost shack" than a ghost town.

I know I've been on "silent running" for the past few months- as you might remember, I mentioned I would be "pressing pause" on my Life is Art correspondence this year as I was shuffling around some new commercial work responsibilities, but have recently shuffled them back, and what better day to reconnect!?

I like bears.

Thoughts on collaborating with nature.

A true sense of space- capturing my favourite spaces as faithfully and as immersive as possible.

So Life is Art, huh? You've probably heard it said before. Maybe it means something to you, or maybe it seems an outlandish claim that leaves you scratching your head. Well let me explain why it has become something of a mantra to me.
