About

Welcome to my site.

 

I am a Vancouver, British Columbia, based photographer.  My main interest is in Landscapes and Cityscapes, but I have been known to take photos of basically anything… flowers, vegetables, even wet paint (thank goodness for digital).  I carry a camera with me most of the time, so nothing escapes.

 

I enjoy long exposures and the thrill of photographing fireworks as I never know what the final patterns will be.

 

I was born and raised in Ireland and love to travel.  I spent about 20 years in Australia and have called Canada home now for 5 years.

 

My interest in photography was sparked, as for so many, by Ansel Adams.  On a working holiday in the USA I saw one of his photographs of Denali  (Mount McKinley and Wonder Lake) in a poster shop.  Two things came out of that.  One, a massive desire to see Denali  for myself,  which I have managed to do, both in summer and winter, and two, my interest in black and white photography, and how photographs are presented.

 

If you would like to purchase any of the photographs that appear on this site or discuss alternatives, please drop me a message via the Contact Page.  Most photographs can be reproduced in different sizes, formats and on different media.

 

Thanks for visiting.
