I am a landscape photographer from Oakville, Ontario. After several years as an astrophotographer, I began experimenting with DSLR camera that have been modified to make them more sensitive to infrared light. All of my daytime photographs are taken with a 720nm infrared filter.
I have been fortunate enough to have my work published in several magazines, including Black and White Photography, Canadian Photography (a CAPA trade magazine), Frames, and photoED. My landscape and black and white work has also received awards from Oakville Camera Club. My work also appeared in an exhibition at a Toronto gallery.
I find that taking photographs is an ideal way of slowing down the pace of modern life. I think each of us craves a moment to stop and reflect, to engage in a period of introspection and think about our place in the world. In my mind there is no better way of doing this than recording the change in the contours of the landscape during the sun's passage across the sky. The summer sun at its zenith puts trees and branches into sharp relief; the low winter sun as it skirts the horizon softens and broadens tones and textures. Each form of light can reveal something different about its subject, no matter how unremarkable that subject would appear to be. Each of these photographs is my attempt to capture this essence, and to perhaps reveal something about ourselves. I hope they cause you to stop and reflect, just as they have for me.
