News and Updates
Not
much of an update at all really - more just an announcement of some venues and summer
dates where my images may be purchased (yes, the first one has already
happened).
Of
course there will be a few photographs in this entry as well. But not all chickens.

I am going to be
presenting a three-hour workshop on HDR (high dynamic range) photography. Other

| Perce Rock, Quebec • Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 VRll lens |
This
fall will mark my tenth year teaching at Durham College. I look forward to meeting
my first year students who I know will be anxious to learn everything they can
about photography, image editing and
the appropriate use of social media with their phones and laptops! Think I can
do it? I dunno either.

Other Projects
I have
been fortunate to land a few contract photographic jobs. This work helps pay
bills. There are a couple more projects on the horizon with more forthcoming.
Artistically,
I intend to take on new and challenging projects…more on this later.
For now a few more images.
