My wife Wendy and I are living the life of full-time fine art photographers in Vancouver Canada. We've won a few major international prizes, been exhibited in commercial and academic solo shows in Canada and the US, and have our work in private collections in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia. Our book "Chasing Light Stranger" is in the reference library of the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography in the National Gallery of Canada, and our work has been featured in "Camera Arts" magazine and "Spiritus", a journal of the Johns Hopkins University. We work exclusively in film-based black and white, and do our own processing and printing in fiber based silver gelatin. Lately, much of our work has turned experimental - exploring the boundaries of silver-based photography through homemade materials - physics, chemistry, cameras and print media.

We have taught in some of Vancouver's local photography schools, and currently privately mentor selected students. [less]
