Vancouverite transplanted to northeastern Pennsylvania. Moved to Toronto in March 2006. Rebuilding my life one brick at a time. (I've written a much more detailed profile here.)
I write most days and many of my Flickr photos are either blogged at gailatlarge.com or can be viewed larger at gailatlarge.net.
Please send a Flickrmail if you wish to use a photo.

UPDATE JANUARY 2006: My husband, David Fielding, aka AviatorDave, passed away on December 18, 2005. I will keep his account open and manage it; I will upload his archived photos into my photostream (to leave his as is), reply to his e-mail, and admin his groups. If you would like to co-admin any of his groups, please contact me.
Most of my photographs are for sale. Proceeds from the aviation-related photographs will be donated in memory of my husband to fund cancer research, education, and care. Primary recipients of donations are: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (which is also funded by the National Cancer Institute (U.S.)) and the Canadian Cancer Society, which funds the National Cancer Institute of Canada.

Image Legacy
I volunteer my photographic and web services for The Brides' Project in Toronto, who donate their profits from the sale of wedding gowns and accessories (received from bridal shops and private donors) to cancer charities. I also participate in the Terry Fox Run every year to raise money towards cancer research, and other fundraising events such as Relay For Life.

Cat Faery Shari says:
"I love Gail. I've never met her in person, but I know that she is an amazing, caring, courageous woman with a huge heart. I wish I lived nearby so I could hug her in person. Or go to Flickr meets. And good restaurants. And hang with Hugh, her cat. Gail's eye for photography is beautiful . . . she takes simple subjects and makes them shine. I always look forward to new shots of Hugh or her travels, knowing that they'll transport me to another place for a moment. Thank you Gail, for being such a great photographer, person, blogfriend, and mommy of Hugh! I understand perfectly why David loved you so deeply. :-)"

Kevin says:
"I met Gail (virtually) as she was prepping for a trip to Spain a couple years ago, and when she came back and posted her gorgeous photos from Málaga, it was like she magically picked some of my favorite visual memories from there and let me see them all over again. Since then I've enjoyed more of her photos, her writing writing, and her humour. Truly a gem!

"The goyle Gail is inspirational, strong as an ox (not quite as hairy), entertaining, truly artistic, brilliant company, and continues to be despite being put through so much more than the proverbial mill. Welcome any time in my neckathewoods."

"I really admire Gail. She's strong, courageous, a good listener, fun to be with, and very caring.
I'm glad flickr brought us together in Vancouver to become such good friends in a short amount of time. She's a terrific photographer, and was one of the many women who helped make Vandigicam the wonderful group it's become."27th November, 2005

!!MNPhotoGuy says:
"Gail captures the beauty of life in many everyday places. For example in an old car.
Your work makes me smile it makes me yearn for simpler times and it makes me want to be around friends and family.
She is the artist of the everyday."27th September, 2005

Tanya in BNE says:
"Gail has been a photo-inspiration to me since I started snooping through her blog. Her eye for details, her amazing shots and the beauty that she finds in the smallest things make me want to learn more about photography. I want to take pretty night shots too! :(
She has been a great help in many ways and it has been a pleasure getting to know her through emails, flickr, orkut and the like. One day...I will meet this amazing woman. I swear it."25th April, 2005

Michaeeel says:
"Gail is solid as a rock in my flickr-existence! Her pictures are great and I always look for new ones, but I think that what makes her special is that she deserves being called one of the most friendly flickr members of all!"

AviatorDave [admin'ed by gailatlarge] says:
"Gail has a wonderful, natural eye and a voracious appetite for learning and exploring. Her photography is an expression of this; she has a gift for seeing the adventure and essence in life.
Plus, she's been everywhere! It was her travel pictures that first moved me to write to her.
I always love seeing the world through Gail's eyes. It's one of the many joys of being with her."20th February, 2005

Velvet G says:
"Gail was the very first person to email me about my pictures. Not only does she give out encouragement she takes a mean photo too.
I always look forward to her new pictures and the quality of them never disappoints. Her night shots inspired me to learn how to shoot my own and I hope that someday I can achieve the quality that she already has now.
Great photographer. Great person."3rd December, 2004
