We see a connection to the history of Manitoba in his photographs of old barns and prairie grain elevators, inviting viewers to relive memories and revisit their own family histories.

“I strive to create images that take a step beyond being
simply “beautiful pictures” (and I daresay there are unlimited opportunities to
find said beauty in Manitoba!). What I attempt to create are images that catch
the viewer's eye, draws them into the scene and makes a connection to their own
life experience. Smiles and good memories of sitting by a rushing waterfall …
Grandpa's old barn … hearing the crunch of autumn leaves as you walked that
path through the forest … that little owl you found roosting in your backyard.
Beautiful photos yes, but hopefully so much more.”
