I am a scientist by training and trade, and a spare-time photographer. I shoot motorsports, events, stock photography, some wildlife and scientific themed material. Since 2010, I have been a credentialed photographer for Honda Indy Toronto, covering the race weekend and pre-race activities, which explains the photograph above (thanks, Rick!). I’ve also spent many years photographing Toronto’s Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. More about me can be found here. More of my best shots are in my Portfolio collection.

Don’t ask me to shoot your wedding – your special day is too precious for us to mess it up like that.
IndyCar driver Scott Dixon in the pits, Toronto – July 2014
I use Nikon cameras and Nikkor, Sigma, Tamron, and Opteka lenses (and occasionally others borrowed from friends). For fun, I also use a variety of film cameras including a 1937 Voigtländer Brillant, a 1958 Agfa Silette LK, and an early 1970’s Voigtländer VF-101. You can read more about those cameras here, here, and here. A complete gallery of my film arsenal is in this Flickr set, and the results are in this collection.

Notable events I’ve shot in an official/credentialed capacity are listed here.
My photos have been used in textbooks, annual reports, advertising copy, press releases, art exhibitions, news stories, and websites. Three pieces are on permanent display at the Peter Gilgan Centre for Research and Learning in Toronto. You can see a selection of screenshots and tearsheets here.
