Informazioni sul libro
The Beverly Hillbillies; Bugs Bunny; Get Smart; Monty Python’s Flying Circus. The zany antics, chaotic energy, and surreal plots of those shows formed one of the memorable backdrops of my childhood. And I was seeing these in black and white, before my family had a colour TV. (Like so many people my age, I'm inexorably drawn to any photo with a Jetsons sensibility.)
The shows of my childhood often had an eerie quality, as well (The Twilight Zone, for example), and trying to capture that feeling in some of my photos is another challenge I enjoy.
Taking photos is a well that never has to run dry. Funny and mysterious: That's pretty much the whole deal in life, isn't it?

I do social landscape photography and am interested in New Topographics---the human altered landscape--recording how human behavior and activity has affected the world. I also look for whimsical scenes, and elements of surrealism found in everyday life. My work is firmly planted in the documentary tradition, getting photos through observation rather than through set-up and image manipulation. In my younger days, I studied photography at Ryerson (now TMU) in Toronto and did freelance jobs, and street photography. My rural upbringing allowed me to see the city with fresh eyes. Blurb books: "Toronto Flashback (1980-1986)," "No Money Down – Toronto (1980-1986)", "Toronto Days", "Toronto In Colour: the 1980s", and "Toronto in the 1980s" which was released in April, 2025. Also: "Wish You Were Here" (2018), "Colourville" (2019), "Found Fields" (2023), and "Colour Dreams" (2025). The City of Toronto Archives has a collection of 1150 of my photos (digital images).
