paris
Images from several trips to the French capital over the past few years. Included are the usual tourist attractions, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Jardin des Tuileries, and Notre Dame, but I have also photographed further afield in Paris, including St. Germain, along the banks of the Seine, and the Champs-Élysées.

For portraiture I still prefer film over digital, despite the number of digital colour images on display here. In portraiture I am inspired by photographers such as Yousef Karsh, a master of posing - particularly the hands - and a superb printer.
Manitoba offers a wealth of differing landscapes: from the wilderness of the North, to the province's 100,000 lakes and their environs, and to the City of Winnipeg with its Old Market Square area - the old downtown - which was the economic engine of the West at the turn of the last century and through the Second World War.
It is a significant challenge to photograph much of the landscape of Saskatchewan. The land is deceptive - the pancake-flat landscape around Regina, and the view of the sky that results, can make one think that the entire province is featureless. Yet not far from the flat grassland is a landscape that is far from boring.
Throughout the British Empire, the end of the Great War began a short period of patriotic victory celebrations and a much longer period of sorrow and realization of the enormous numbers of dead and wounded. Few towns in Canada were untouched by the war, including even the smallest hamlets in rural Saskatchewan.
I am personally interested in cenotaphs not only because my father was a Canadian veteran of the Second World War - with Ontario's Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment - but because they are interesting. Their construction reflects the attitude of the community and the designer or sculptor who created it. Some of these memorials embody the feelings of victory. Others, merely the act of Remembrance.
