Carp, ON Airshow 2008
The Carp Airshow was one of those gems at a small air strip where the planes can fly really low, including the jets. This day a storm was closing and the last few manouvers by the Snowbirds were under very dark skies. Many of the passes of the planes were well under 2,000 feet altitude, some were practically skimming the tree-tops.
I was born in Fort William, Ontario and moved to Toronto when I was five years old. I lived in Toronto for 35 years and moved to Ottawa in 2005.
I started my career as a news paper reporter and news photographer, where I worked for a couple of independent papers, did two tours of duty for the Metroland chain in the Greater Toronto Area and also worked as a political reporter for The Toronto Star.
I crossed over to the dark side, to public relations and have worked in both the private and public sector.
I continued to shoot sporadically since leaving professional shooting but picked up a DSLR in 2007 and have been actively pursuing photography as a hobby ever since. I try to get out as often as I can and I'm still learning, as digital photography, I find, is quite different from old school 'emulsion' photography.
So while I enjoy my career work, I'm just waiting for National Geographic to call me up and offer me a full time gig. :P (in my dreams - but I wouldn't turn down CP, Reuters or AP either).
I would like to say a big thanks to my girlfriend and love of my life, Nancy, for continuing to inspire me .
