Gallery

Photography has always been a hobby for me. Sometimes it's been a living. I've worked with just about every format from 16mm sub-miniatures up to 8x10 view cameras. Now, I'm covering both ends of the technology scale and working with a Busch-Pressman flatbed 4x5 as well as a Canon S30 digital. I love the sensuous feel of working with the B-P, as well as the instant gratification of the digital.

After shooting with the B-P, the 4x5 negatives are either scanned to CD-ROM or printed. Usually, I work in black & white and take advantage of the large(r) format for big prints. Digital files (from the Canon or scanned negatives) are manipulated with PhotoShop.

Here are some of my favourites. You can see more in my online albums.

Vancouver Library

In 1995, the main branch of the Vancouver Public Library was moved from its old location at Robson and Burrard to a striking new building on Georgia street. Designed to echo a classic Roman style, the VPL Main Branch is a landmark in downtown Vancouver. A favourite of the film industry, it's appeared as a backdrop in films such as The 6th Day and Mr. Magoo.
