Hi. I've subscribed to this group since the late '90s but have been
active only sporadically. I check in to see what's happening quite
often, though. Now I'm an empty nester, hoping to have more time to
participate. This will serve nicely as a re-introduction.
I got seriously interested in photography in 1971 when I spent the
first of two summers on Devon Island in the Canadian Arctic. I bought
a Taron rangefinder to record the experience. Greatly enjoyed
learning to use it. By the end of that summer I had decided to live
in the North and to be a photographer.. By 1975 I was living in the
Yukon and working hard at teaching myself photography. In 1979 I
landed my first full-time photographic job at a newspaper in Alberta.
After two years I went North again, to the Northwest Territories, and
from 1986 to 2006 was the photographer at a museum in Yellowknife.
These days I'm retired in British Columbia, shooting and selling some
fine art work. I've also gone back to my roots, playing with screw
mount and early K mount gear shooting bulk loaded black and white.
My web site (whcih I don't update often enough) is:
