Big fat photo buff. Loves all things Camera. Likes other things too. A living (and breathing) wurking artist in painting, design and of course photography. A former life as a rock photographer but the hearing didn't hold out so now prefers to stand at the back with earplugs and a cocktail.

"nothing quite like the basterd. His style is his own, and blends constantly with the days, the ideas, the eras and the thoughts. His passion exceeds the usual zeal you see in Vancouverite artists of his.... *Ahem* Maturity.... and his thirst for the next thing, the next project is quite enjoyable.
many props and respect to my first real mentor. :D"18th December, 2011
