As I write, it's 2024 and I am now 9 months retired, living on a pension and about to start a part-time dream job selling arts and crafts. I am trained in photography - film and video - and really love capturing images that play with light, colour and texture. I enjoy using natural or available light. I also paint and do various crafts. I love the creative process and hope you enjoy my photographs. The day long tour of residential schools with cultural guides was an experience that changed my life and how I perceive Canada's indigenous people. I hope I have honoured them with these photos.
