I love gardening, design, flying, sailing, and fishing. I live with a big white sheepdog named Princess Ice Cream on Galiano Island in British Columbia.

I’ve made photographs of Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, both George Bushes as well as rockstars, entrepreneurs & athletes the world over.

I’ve been  involved with some top notch world-changing organizations including the United Nations, the Access To Media Education Society, TckTckTck, Reel Youth, W2 Community Arts, Northern Voice, and many others working in the areas of social justice, environment, and the media.

Using our gifts for positive change is where it’s at. The work I do for big events and corporate clients helps fund my artistic & non-profit photography.

I’ve helped write 2 books, and contributed to a 3rd. The first one is called Bit Torrent for Dummies. The second one is called Killer Photography With Your iPhone. Finally, I wrote a chapter for Pathway: Critiques and Discourse In Olympic Research.

  

In addition to writing I also enjoy speaking, teaching and mentoring. Click here for a partial list of talks I’ve given.
