I currently live and work in Ottawa, Canada.

I've been making photographs since the 1970's. The subject and the method may have changed, but I am as serious

about the work I produce now as I was then.  I have always been fascinated by the magic of the image and the process

that goes into it's creation.

Photography can not only interpret the essence of an object or idea, it can allow us to extend our interpretive effort to

include the context of subjects in space and time.  Photographs are not just associated with the photographer, the

creative act also takes place inside the spectator.  Good work demands the audience take part, to search within oneself,

to open, enlarge and widen the meaning.

I think that much of todays important photographic work needs to be looked at and accepted outside of a narrow

definition of photography.  The vast number of images that we are exposed to today challenges those working within

the photographic medium.  The challenge is to not become lost, of being able to find some sense of truth in what we

experience, and to continue to find ways to express it.

I use various methods to arrive at my final work, including appropriation, digital manipulation and incorporating other

materials in conjunction with the photograph.
