These photographs are about my relationship with the Earth, whereby I am representing humanity. But in my work as a photographer I can only speak for myself. I am celebrating the majesty and grandeur of nature and how we fit into it. In the photographs showing distant vast landscapes, I show evidence of humans through cars and electric towers all dwarfed by the awesome storm clouds and mountains. This beauty of nature is also evident in the more intimate views of the farms and country roads, again, showing our relationship with Earth and man’s harnessing of it for his own use.
Mine is a positive, optimistic point of view, because the scenes are beautiful and that implies that the beauty, even beyond or in spite of man’s tampering will always be there.
I use contrasting points of view. The macrocosm and microcosm. From very distant vistas, to closer images of rural scenes, down to close-up views of earth, moss and clovers, tree trunks, bark and root.
I strip them all of colour to present a raw image that allows the viewer to respond emotionally to shape, texture and contrast. I use techniques such as selective focus, lens vignette and rather large print size to draw the viewer in. The soft focus on the edge, gives a dream like effect and a “vintage photography” feeling from a time before we knew we were destroying our environment with harmful technology.
The works also evoke a quiet and calm sense of serenity. Although there is evidence of man’s existence in the photographs through the farms, buildings and towers, there are no actual humans in the images, so the lone viewer becomes the only perceived living participant in the scene.
Visual drama created by massive dark clouds has always intrigued me. It is one of the ways for me to understand how small we humans really are in this universe.
To be exhibited at Galerie Image Photo Encadrement, Sutton, Québec, Canada.

On July 23, 2014, hundreds of Free Press activists, allies and volunteers rallied for REAL Net Neutrality on President Obama's motorcade route as he attended a big fundraiser in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles.
While visiting an antique store in Toronto’s Queen Street, I became rather inspired by the display of musical instruments and microphones. All used for the creation of sound and music. The energy that came from these instruments of sound and performance inspired me to combine them into a triptych of which I made two versions.

Alley side, back door to a building. Looks rarely used if ever at all.

Great photography requires dedication, time and effort.
But above all there are costs involved as well.
Equipment, props and model fees, not to mention time,
are all "out-of-pocket" expenses for the artist.
If you enjoy my photography, you might like to help to support my art.
I offer over 2 hours of great videos, including many
behind-the-scenes of some of my best photo sessions,
all artistically crafted for your enjoyment.

Thanks for your time and support.

Lights and colours. Time Square, Broadway, The Theater District. This town lights up and becomes even more alive than in the day time, if that is possible. People are out in the streets all night long, like a big party.
My friend Eli and I were driving through this spectacle with me sticking my head out the skylight window, even though it was raining, and snapping away with my camera in all directions. There wasn't a bad angle to be found. All were exciting and all were wonderfully colourful and bright.
I have always wondered what is it about this city that makes people feel this way about it. It is legendary and glamorous. Hyped by the media, and especially made popular through film over the years. So many in the visual arts, theater, cinema and music have considered it to be the ultimate place to “make it”.

I was looking intently at these gentle creatures and their eyes stared back at me transfixed by my presence. It was only after standing there for a long while that they resumed their grazing. Perhaps they trusted me now. I couldn't help thinking how they reminded me of my dogs in behavior and gentleness. To think that we eat these creatures. If this was the only evil of humanity. Something to think about.

Washington DC, May 15, 2014. Social justice activists rally in front of the FCC to oppose proposed net neutrality rule changes that would essentially end the free and open internet which has worked miraculously well for almost twenty years now. Shortly after noon the FCC voted in favor of considering the odious changes allowing 'pay for play' fast lanes in the internet (and the implied threat of slower speed diminished service for those who don't pony up...), subject to "public comment" which you know will be a sham exercise leading to an already determined conclusion in favor of the big telecoms. This plan was so evil even Amazon and Microsoft signed off on a letter to the FCC opposing it (Apple was missing in action...) but I'm sure it was not for altruistic reasons. Hopefully 'cable' and TV sets will soon be a thing of the past.
