I was born February 22,1948 in Kearney Ontario. As a young boy I moved to the Sudbury District with my family. My Father became an employee of INCO from were he retired. I graduated from Cambrian College as a Civil Engineering Technician. In 1980 I hired on with then E B Eddy at their sawmill in Nairn Centre. I became a Sawyer and retired after 28 years service. With the idea that photography is a creative art,not just a medium for communication of reality,I am able to have creative control over all my images.My first love is to canoe and hike into wilderness locations to enjoy the pristine beauty and peacefulness that can be found in our vast wilderness.While I am there I am able to capture many of the scenic views that I have in my expanding portfolio
