While living in Montreal (working at the National Hockey League as their statistical researcher) I joined the Montreal Camera Club. Here I improved my 'eye' for 'the 'perfect' shot from the weekly critique, and at the end of my eight years stay in the big city, I was asked to judge several competitions. As a result of Polio as a young child I have been unable to handle heavy and/or complicated photography equipment, so compared to today’s cameras basically a 'point and shoot' has been my tool. I believe you can have the best equipment money can buy, but if you don't have an 'eye' for photography, then your chances of having a 'winner' are limited. After I moved back to Fredericton in 1980 I joined Photo Fredericton and was fortunate to have a couple of my scenic photos accepted in a cross-Canada exhibit. Photography then took a back-seat for a few years while I pursued other interests in the sporting world. In 1994 dogs again became an important part of my life, especially my Rottweiler, Clancy, and so found a great reason to reactivate my camera. With the introduction of digital cameras, photo enhancement software, and the encouragement of my sister, I ventured back into the realm of scenic photography. Today with my camera tucked in the basket of my little red 3-wheel electric scooter, I try not to miss an opportunity to capture that perfect shot. “An intimate city with a cosmopolitan flair,” Fredericton, the Capital City of New Brunswick, has many heritage buildings and over 120km of walking trails along both sides of the St. John River. I am honoured to have the opportunity to showcase some of the beauty of the City or one's pet through my photography at several locations throughout the city or by special request.
