I'm originally from Montreal, have lived in Tulsa OK and Durango CO, and I now live in downtown Phoenix. I enjoy taking pictures of the urban landscape, natural landscapes, weather, birds, cacti. I'm becoming more of a fan of iPhone photography, because it's the camera that's always with me, and the apps are a blast to use.

  

My favorite photography quotations:
