About
I graduated from Emily Carr College of Art and Design in 1984, where I studied photography. Subsequent studies in mathematics and computers at Simon Fraser University led to a career in information management.
I returned to photography as an art form in 2016. In 2023, I decided that the world did not need another photographer. I always felt that the appellation fit me like a shirt I sometimes wear but isn’t really comfortable. Instead, I now call myself a wanderer, and that shirt fits me much better. To my mind it is a liberating and playful label that frees me from unhelpful personal expectations, and unhelpful existential questions such as what is a real photographer, and am I one?
I wander, sometimes with acute focus, through living, words, art, history, familiar and unfamiliar places. As JRR Tolkien wrote “not all that wander are lost”.
