With all the photography I have taken, the one regret I have is that I have not been able to take more manual photos. The reasoning however is due to a severe allergy to the chemicals in a darkroom. Which is unfortunate, because I loved to cross process images. Luckily with the marvels of paint programs...

If I have adopted a theory that exchange anger and love with ambition and art, thus, becoming driven with a sense of rectifying a situation without actually becoming involved directly within it. An individual can see the real picture, and know what life is really all about. I am not saying one is better...

Gastown is world renowned. Especially a hidden little Gem called Steamworks. I had the opportunity to be able to take some promo shots for Steamworks and their sister restaurant The Transcontinental, now the new Rogue. A fun time had by all.

I was sitting at the computer, and realized, “I should design a t-shirt”. 3 hours later and these are what I created. I have a few more in the process, more of a 80′s pop culture idea brewing. Enjoy.

We are generally unaware of how strongly our world of feelings, our degree of well being, comfort, or rejection is dependent on impressionism of our surroundings.

I was invited to the Allen Berg Race School for a day to take some photos and enjoy a few test laps. 18 laps to be exact. But nothing beats the feeling of lying down on a race track and having formula cars rush by your. A sense of adrenaline just courses through your body, oh and you get a great photo...

In modern cases external forces such as narcotics are used to evoke a sense of beauty in the world. But if what Kants’...

Hopefully I have a purpose in writing this. I hope at the end of these 157 pages I will find some ultimate meaning into something that I have long thought lost and forgotten.

Actually I feel to sudden urge to...
