A collection of Toronto photographs from 1995 to 2020

Rural architecture, especially rural architecture fused with elements of decay fascinate me & draw my attention. These buildings appear to me like tombstones or markers indicating past stories & moments left behind for us to view. They appear to me like whispers from people long ago. 

Award winning portrait series exploring the expressions & feelings we try to hide

'Senescence' captures, in 25 photographs, the process of life, reproduction, death, and decay before new growth. The story is told through expressive, abstract photography chronicling the life and death of an Amaryllis (Hippeastrum) in an intimate and poetic study symbolizing birth, death, and resurrection.

Friends found in the wild

I was invited to witness, document and share in this personal process and transformation.

Calm whispers from children long ago, like tissue paper popcorn.

Award winning nature series There was a heavy rain all weekend that covered everything in water. As the rain ended, the morning sunlight pushed through the misty clouds creating this silvery light. 

Apples sit in painterly light on Dundas street in Toronto, Ontario. I photographed these beautiful apples in 2012 & felt inspired for the 1st time - September, 2020. This is an example of how I like to let photographs sit for a while before I do anything with them. 

I am a collector of many things; Matchbooks, cameras, vinyl records, The Simpsons TV series toys, books, moments in time, emotions, experiences & old magazines just to name a few. These are a few of my collections expressed as a series of still life photographs. Collecting things provides me with a sense of unity, control, progress & refinement. 

These objects, these delicate flowers are fleeting, are transformative. They are not special or above anything else in this world. They are however, stunning & are to be adored for as long as possible. Minimalism using blacks & shadows to create the mood. I was inspired by a classic 90s goth vibe, perhaps something funeral. I wanted the rose & vase to look as if they were made of stone.

Fumbling & rolling through our open lives, creating shade, comfort & drawing rain where we need it. Watching clouds is watching God's work in motion.

A moment to reflect on such beauty that we often take for granted. Trees are ancient, grand & have remarkable personalities worth studying & photographing.

The sun illuminates frozen patterns on glass. Each morning, deep in the winter months, ice forms on a glass door. Each patter is different, changing morning after morning, communicating a type of music or maybe a dance. This photographs were taken in 2012 & developed & edited in late 2020 as part of my creative process of letting photographs sit for sometime before developing them.
