I moved here in 1987 and fell in love with the West Coast and everything that comes with living in North Vancouver. Even though I grew up far north of here, the Lower Mainland became "home" almost instantly. I am rarely at a loss for words to describe this part of the world... beautiful, diverse, large, unpredictable. You never know what or who you are going to see. We have the forests, the mountains, the ocean and the rivers. And sandwiched in between all that is a wonderful city full of diverse cultures. I can't imagine living here without a camera...in fact, I can no longer imagine not living here. I love Vancouver, I love British Columbia, I love Canada, I love the world, I love the visual arts, I love music, I love the emotion that a photograph evokes.
I have a PhD in the biological sciences but I never want to stop learning, and that includes learning how to see. We all use our eyes to navigate the world around us, but at some point, as we grow and age, we stop truly "seeing" the wonder in the world around us, including what we perceive to be the mundane. We become too caught up in our lives. We forget to appreciate the little things. Almost everything has inherent beauty, we just need to look closely to find it. Often the things we see evoke memories of things forgotten. Welcome to my visual journey.
