I'm a six foot one inch 30 year certified bricklayer who has relocated his business to the Banff National Park region of the Rocky Mtns in western Canada. I claim the move was to spend time laying natural stone as a continuation on the development of my own masonry skills, but we all know I'm here for the photographic oppertunities. The strength and dexterity imparted by working a trowel translates to endurance and perserverance with the shutter release, tripod and the hiking boot.
