​“The value of a picture is not proportionate to the trouble and expense it costs to obtain it, but the poetry it contains.”  Peter Henry Emerson (1856–1936)
 
I use my camera as a means of visual expression to explore my feelings about places, people, and experiences. Inspired by texture, geometry, and light, I strive to make images that portray the ordinary in a way that serves up something new to the viewer.
In the end, representing reality isn’t important to me. I’m not a photojournalist. I consider the raw image a starting point; a digital canvas to be manipulated into something that reveals how I feel about the image, rather than what I literally saw.
“My Backyard” expresses my feelings about London, ON, a city I’ve lived in all but four years of my life. Familiarity breeds contempt, and after living here for so many years, the city often feels dull and uninspired to me. This collection of black and white photographs depicts familiar places with a sense of emptiness I frequently feel about London, but in a way that makes them seem more intriguing. ​

Black&White photos can show the real essence of our world and our life. You won't feel that emotions if you look at the colored photo. Even portraits look better in b&w colors. Someone can say that they are boring but I don't think so.
