Well, I graduated from the Ontario College of Art in 1964, and worked in the field of photography for the first decade of my professional life. That included being the second photographer for a daily paper during Canada's Centennial year (1967!), doing freelance work, and quite a few years managing the photo collection for a large power corporation.

Now—well, in 2018 I turn 76 in August. No more crouching for macro shots, and definitely no carrying two DSLR camera bodies and several lenses! My back argues constantly, and my left hip is telling me surgery may be sometime in the offing. So restrictions apply!

But with my iPhone 8 Plus, and my Sony RX100 III for serious days, I still live for images.

In my 40s, I went into the general insurance business with my father, and from there, eventually to the risk management office of the Alberta government. But everyone knew that I always had a camera with me.

Bought my first digital camera in late 1997—a Sony FD7—that, my friends, had a floppy disc (the FD) as the medium, and resolution of 640 x 480! Now, I literally never leave home without a camera, even at night. Have had quite a few digitals now, upgrading regularly; that Sony DSC RX100 lll with a one-inch chip and Zeiss lens produces wonderful images.

(To back that up with a very long reach, I added a Sony 400V, which has a 50X optical zoom—and another Zeiss lens.)

A few shots are much smaller, from earlier cameras but still favourites of mine! With a 'news photographer' background, I love having a small, good, quick-to-use camera, and now, my iPhone 8 Plus is a highly portable gem.

Most recent addition: an iPad Pro 10.5 that has an amazingly good macro lens.

The camera is nothing more than an extension of my eye and thoughts. Hope you enjoy the images.
