About the Book
My “Wish You Were Here” is an ongoing photographic project that’s been in the works for several years. I aim to capture images that have a sense of the surreal yet are readily seen in everyday life. Additionally, I try to capture the sense of whimsy and humour that I liked about those Hipgnosis album covers. The images come about through observation, rather than with Photoshop or other manipulations. For me, that’s an important aspect of the project--there’s no manipulation of the image.

About the Creator

I do social landscape photography and am interested in New Topographics---the human altered landscape--recording how human behavior and activity has affected the world. I also look for whimsical scenes, and elements of surrealism found in everyday life. My work is firmly planted in the documentary tradition, getting photos through observation rather than through set-up and image manipulation. In my younger days, I studied photography at TMU (formerly Ryerson) in Toronto and did freelance jobs, and street photography. My rural upbringing allowed me to see the city with fresh eyes. Blurb books: "Toronto Flashback (1980-1986)," "No Money Down – Toronto (1980-1986)", "Toronto Days, "Toronto In Colour: the 1980s", and "Toronto Hi-Fi" which was released in December, 2021.Other Books: "Wish You Were Here" (2018), "Found Fields" (2023) In March 2023, 700 of my photos (digital images) were added to the City of Toronto Archives.
