Mahuna Bay, Kona, Hawaii

ABOVE: Part of my Hawaii trip included a drive and hike to Mahana Bay. It’s located at the southernmost tip of the United States, Ka Lae (South Point) on the Big Island (Kona) of Hawai’i. It is a beach full of green sand. In order to get to the beach one must walk three miles [...]

They’re part of our growing Image Archive, where we offer images for personal and licensed use. For example, you may download an image for your desktop computer or order a [...]
Toronto Cityscape at Dusk

Downtown Toronto is starting to look a lot like Times Square in New York, especially at Yonge and Dundas, next to the Eaton Centre.
This image of the Toronto skyline, captured just before dusk, with the CN Tower in the background, shows just how busy our downtown core is. Wouldn’t this photograph look great in a [...]
New! Winter Series in the Image Archive
Super-excited am I. Yes, I am. Winter is coming.
As much as I grumble about terrible driving conditions, blustery winds, sleet and ice during our Toronto (Canada) winters, I find the coldest season of the year very beautiful. Especially in The Beaches neighbourhood, where yours truly currently resides. For the urbanites out there, there is actually [...]
Autumn in the Image Archive
Autumn will soon be officially over. Many trees are now bare with their multi-coloured, fallen leaves nestled in the grass below. I enjoy this image which I captured just a few weeks ago. Something about the old-school red and yellow fire hydrant amidst a blanket of yellow leaves does it for me.
If you like it, [...]

Image Archive: Stock Images now Available

With quality stock images now available from a variety of online outlets, many photographers find it makes better sense to self-distribute their Stock Photography Images available for business and personal use. Large organizations such as Getty charge pretty high fees to image buyers, and take large commissions on image sales. Unless the photographer’s images are [...]
Canadian Cancer Society: Relay for Life – Scarborough

It was impressed upon me early on during this weekend’s Relay for Life the difference in personality, compared to last weekend’s event. Toronto’s multiculturalism really shone through. It’s poignant to witness people of diverse backgrounds working as a team – in one location – all night long, full of hope. It’s an evening where the [...]

Friday, June 19th I’ll be photographing again for the Canadian Cancer Society. If you’re participating in the Scarborough Relay for Life, come say “Hello”. I’ll capture an image of you!
The final tally isn’t yet in for the Central Toronto Relay for Life, but as of today the event has raised close to $250,000 for cancer [...]

Is it time for your Portrait?

I enjoy creating portraits of people, whether it’s a family portrait, executive portrait, actor headshot. Portraits can be done on location or in studio, formal or candid.
PhotoSensitive National Exhibitor

Yesterday I had a lovely conversation with PhotoSensitive, who called to let me know that they had selected some of my work to be showcased in their Canada-wide Cancer Connections Exhibit. PhotoSensitive will be turning 20 next year. It was formed to show “how the power of the photograph can bring about social justice in [...]
Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life

Last summer I photographed the Relay for Life, an awareness and fundraising event for the Canadian Cancer Society.
The Relay for Life events raised about $600,000. While I covered the event, I also did a midnight shoot using long exposures and candlelight. Lately I’ve had a few conversations with people interested to learn more.
I think the [...]
