What I do:

I shoot everything from macro to portrait to glamour to candid to landscape to animals to urban scenes to rural to flowers to abstract. Occasional underwater & astro photography.

I travel, A LOT, so my goal is to be outside and photograph every square inch of this planet and every animal on it - I figure it will keep me busy for a little while.

If you're in Toronto or coming to Toronto, let me know, would be happy to organize something! Interested in collaborations with other photographers or models. Open to TF* gigs.

Thanks:
Thanks for all the views, comments, faves and invites. A humble thanks to everyone who has made comments & suggestions for improvement - they are certainly much appreciated ;o) !!!

I'm not really big on joining invite-only groups unless a few of my photos have been invited, but thanks.

Also not keen on groups with too many rules, so please don't invite me. I give out thousands of comments, because I want to, not because I have to.
