I have been fortunate to have traveled with my work to many parts of the world and have taken hundreds of photos during my travels. I am very much an amateur at photography, and I enjoy taking photos of just about anything.

The three cameras I use are all Canon, they are the..

5D MK II, & Battery Grip
50D, & Battery Grip, and
G11 (upgraded from G10)

I use the following lenses & equipment

Canon 50 mm, 1.4
Canon EF 17-40 mm L series USM F4.0
Canon EF 24-70 mm L series USM F2.8
Canon EF 24-105 MM L series IS USM F4.0
Canon EF 70-200 mm L series IS USM F2.8

Canon 580 EX II Flash unit
Canon 430 EX II Flash unit x 2

Two Manfrotto 055XPROB Tripods



While I use the 5D MK II, & the 50D for planned photo outings I do carry my G11 wherever I go. I find the new Canon G11 a very good piece of equipment capable of high quality photos on the spur of the moment.

Over the past couple years the many wonderful friends and contacts I have made on Flickr have taught me so much, and it is they who fuel my inspiration. I am now learning how to identify and appreciate some of the beauty closer to home.

Each day I am truly amazed at the creativity and exceptional quality of work so many post to Flickr. They do so by using simple "point & shoot" to sophisticated DSLRs, and often it is the lesser that creates the most interest.

I don't own Photoshop and I don't know how to use it, but I wish I did. All of my digital processing is done using Aperture II and the standard photo programs that came with my Mac Book Pro. I am indeed a die-hard Mac user, that will not change......

I believe, vision and composition come from one's eye, the camera is merely a vehicle of conveyance to the screen.

My home is in Winnipeg, Canada

    Shutterite Co. /Kelly hofer says:

    "Calling Ken a photographer is an understatement. He is so much more than that.

    I got to know Ken from one photo he took of a Hutterite couple. Since then I have personally met Ken. And having met him was both a privilege and a pleasure. I think simply calling him a photographer, does not do justice to the wonderful personality of Ken.

    I had never thought I would get a camera from someone that I met only on flickr. But Ken, he sensed that I was a too good photographer for the camera I had so he graciously donated his backup camera: the Canon D40 to me.

    Ken, I thank you for all you have done for me.

    If you haven't seen his slideshow, turn off your cell phone, get yourself a drink, hit the bathroom on the way back, and then click on slideshow, full screen. You'll be glad you did!"

    "Ah Ken, he is a most creative and artistic photographer. His love of color is evident in every one of his photo's. Not only are his photo's outstanding, he's a bit of a photojournalist, alway giving us bits of information and statistic's of what he has shot. I have learned so much from him.
    His most impressive quality does not lie in his photography though, it lies in his heart. He is a gentle, kind spirit. He really appreciates life and the people he shares this planet with. I am very fortunate to count him as a friend.
    Rock on Ken, thanks for the gift of you."

    "Ken è senza alcun dubbio un fotografo dall’infinita esperienza, i suoi scatti rendono al massimo il senso ed il contenuto di ciò che “legge con il suo sguardo”. Sa cogliere l’attimo e lo rende perfetto.
    Ma oltre il lato tecnico si percepisce il lato umano, sa osservare con infinita pazienza e comprensione i lavori degli altri utenti “FLICKRIANI”.
    Sempre pronto ad apprezzare ed incoraggiare i lavori altrui.
    E’ un amico!! Thank You Ken."

He already has a long list of testimonials where each and every word is true about this wonderful, instinctive photographer. Since we became friends he has been guiding me towards perfection through his excellent collection of photographs and truly inspiring and kind comments.

    His photostream is a food for the eyes and his expressions through the photographs are foods for the mind. I find myself very lucky to have Ken as a friend. If I had to chose three words for Ken I would say Ken is about Color, Creativity and Vision."

His images are not only inspiring and incredible, but they are a true reflection of his passion for the art. I make it a point to check on his images every time that I visit Flickr. Every time I see something from him, it is truly art. Thank you, Ken, for sharing your art with us."

    "Very few photographers are able to draw the viewer in the way that Ken does. One of the most striking realities of his talent is finding perspectives that express himself, yet still identify with an audience and connect to a subject. He creates a bridge through his work that seems to be built straight from the heart. This lends his photography to embody a very profound sense of artistic integrity. Experiencing his photography feels like engaging in a conversation with the man."

While he is traveling the worldwide on business, he takes the time to photograph some of the most interesting places, which for most of us, will never go. Seeing the world through his eyes is the most amazing gift. I always look forward to viewing his work, especially his macro shots of flowers. Always stunning and beautiful.
