Your Bio

Welcome to my photography galleries.

I reside in the vicinity of Vancouver, BC Canada and am very fortunate to have a job that takes me across Western Canada to it's cities and into some remote areas. This site was created as more of a travelogue for family and friends in other parts of the world so we could keep in touch. Hence you'll find a collection of "where in the world?" shots and amongst them a few beauties.

There are several viewing styles available. The "Smugmug" style is best for first time visitors. It will show small thumbnails on the left with a larger image on that right. Move your mouse over the large right hand image for more options. Clicking on a thumbnail will either feature it on the right; clicking on the right image will provide you with a larger viewable image. Click away!

CONTACTING ME:
Leave a comment on an image and if you'd like a reply include an email or phone number. Smugmug sends an alert to me when you leave a comment. Comments will not be displayed publicly unless I approve them. I will not release any comments with contact information in the message.

Thanks for dropping by and a nod to any who have left a comment.

Abbotsford Airshow 2006 : Sunday August 13th, 2006.  A very hot and HAZY day.  Most of the aerial photos were taken from about 500 meters(1600 feet) back from the fence line as I had to stay near our vehicle.  As a result I did not get the resolution I was hoping for... wait till next year.  It's a tough place to take aerial photos in any case as the runway to sun alignment is not very good.  Great crowd and very easy to get to and leave from.  Too bad Highway #1 on a Sunday evening is such a disaster.  When are they going to make it 6 or even 8 lanes?

Update:  I recently viewed this gallery on a system other than my own where the monitor was not calibrated to gray scale and I've realised some of these images can look really bad. The post processing I had to do to recover from under exposure left all kinds of noise and artifacts in several of the aerial images.  Next year...
