Over one year in the making, “Building on the Bow” is a photographic book focusing on the architectural history of the city of Calgary. Photographer Steve Speer was provided a list of potential architectural subjects and free reign to photograph them in his style and with his sense of vision. The photographs and text in this book are the culmination of that eleven month project.
I have traveled to China three times, once in 2007, once in 2008 and again in 2010. Each time was as photographer for an NGO (Eco Village of Hope Society). We agreed that I would provide photographs to record the organization's activities in Guang Dong and Yunnan provinces in south-central and south western China. I also shot for myself and these images are the result.
I traveled to Italy during the summer of 2011. Prior to leaving I set myself the goal of having at least one, 10 image portfolio upon returning from that trip. I currently have two portfolios, one of extended panoramas and one of conventional images.
