Welcome

I'm a photographer & traveller based in Nova Scotia, Canada. I also enjoy science and history. Add a bit of Star Wars and cross stitch and you pretty much know what you'll see here. At the moment, my focus is architectural and abstract photography, with some event photography thrown in. I've appeared in several exhibitions. I look forward to sharing my photography with you!

You can help support my photography! Learn more here.
