Rocky Mountains, Banff, Canada
My goal in much of my work is to bring to the attention of the viewer the small details and delightful surprises that many people don't see as they go about their daily lives. In some of my work, I also attempt to convey more serious messages relating to issues such as the environment and consumerism, while trying to avoid clichés or overt moralizing.

entry description
Early morning mists, Rocky Mountains near Banff, Alberta, Canadaabout the photographer
I am an artist living and working in Ottawa, Canada. My most recent works are photo-based art in a primarily minimalist and often abstract style. My professional background is in architectural, urban and graphic design, which, over the years, have influenced my photographic works. I also have a slight visual impairment which also affects what and how I photograph. While many of my images are 'straight' photos, I do not shy away from manipulation in photo-editing software when it seems appropriate.My goal in much of my work is to bring to the attention of the viewer the small details and delightful surprises that many people don't see as they go about their daily lives.
