TAGS Revisited


Most shoots result in about 20% usable images... At least from the artist perspective, my perspective. I often revisit my work after a few years to see if I can find something I missed. Perhaps my perceptions have changed and things strike me in different ways... Here is a photograph of my friend TAGS that I took a few years back... I'm not sure what drew me into this image after all this time... perhaps it was his eyes. I know I am not the only photographer who think of their work as more than just an image... some times it feels like they are asking to come out of the folder and be shown. Enjoy!

Tattoo Evolved


Its been almost a year since my last shoot with Deon. Three things have improved since then, His tattoo, My Camera and the lighting we used... Enjoy!

Anouther Step Forward


Life is filled with small and big steps forward... This one is a big leap for me! I was honored to be able to shoot a portrait of Austin Clarke for the January 09 issue of Exposé Entertainment Magazine in Toronto. When the magazine came out Austin asked me to send copies to his publisher Harper-Collins and it finally made its way to the authors image on the dust jacket of his latest book "More"! To some it may seem like just a small step but its a huge blessing for me and I am ever grateful.
