Welcome

Regained access to my domain [25.11.2012] - sorry for being on hiatus /
lots of current work can be seen on my FaceBook page / Currently working
with a film maker on a documentary project + coffee table book. Working
on a larger series for The Calgary Tower, and a large Martial Arts Training
series :: Coffee Table book project also in the works :: inquire about
my 'shooting w/an iPhone' seminar :: Galleries are listed below in a blog-esque
format. Thumbnails in time will all go to the gallery in question - for
sessions that are not yet posted, only a thumbnail will exist - email if
you're interested in seeing any shoots not yet online, or arrange a meeting
to view material on a large display. Note some fashion images can be seen
down at the catseyevintage spinning
on an iMac during regular shop hours (often images that might/will not
ever appear online) - typically new images added occasionally when jaunting
across town - setup another iMac at The Distillery (June 30, 2010).
