I started taking pictures of bands in early 1980's Ottawa - Deja Voodoo, Restless Virgins, Sex Gang Children, The Cult (on their first North American date), and numerous other local and international acts.

After moving to Saskatoon I continued to take pictures of bands (39 Steps, Love and Rockets, etc) and occasionally had photos used in magazines and record covers, but over time I took fewer and fewer pictures.

In 2002 I bought my first digital camera and returned to shooting live performances, including Toronto-based Flamenco companies Ritmo Flamenco and Arte Flamenco. Those photos were used for posters, CD covers, and related materials. In 2003 I travelled to London to see Lee Scratch Perry's Meltdown Festival and shot a number of the shows for the BBC 6Music Web site.

In 2004 I relocated to Vancouver and began reestablishing myself in the local music and arts community.
