I'm a semi-pro photographer and now full-time Bureaucrat working in Ottawa.
I am fascinated by architecture, typography, and industrial design. They are all manifestations of our ever pervasive need to shape and control the environment around us. I am equally fascinated by unperturbed, raw landscapes, as they symbolize our inability to control nature and they remain perhaps our best chance of showing each subsequent generation that there is value is allowing things to run their course. That control and manipulation is not always the path to success and survival.
If your interested in using my work please feel free to contact me. I charge reasonable rates for commercial purposes as well as providing hand made custom frames and matting, personally built by yours truly, for any private print purchases.
