Besides being a photographer, I'm also the guitarist with the rowdy folk fusion group, The Mad Maggies. I was programmer/web developer for Communication Arts magazine for 15 years before going rogue. I moved from the San Francisco Bay Area to Montréal, Québec in 2013. In 2023, I relocated to Penticton, BC -- better weather.

I think this is the bluist house in Montréal. Maybe I’m wrong. But it is very blue.

Street talk

I was in motion when I grabbed this shot. The articulating screen on my old, trusty G11 let me frame the scene while keeping the camera low and discreet as I walked by these two people. 1/800 of a second exposure time froze the action.

Dîner avec spectacle

I doubt the guys in the café realized they were going to get a show along with their club sandwich. The fellow on the right is wondering, “Did I pay extra for this?”

Lovers in plain view from from the cafe window--lunch plus show
