When I was young, I played along the railroad tracks in my rural community in Northern Ontario (Canada) and once in a while I'd look out and wonder where they could take me.

At the age of 11 I embarked on my first trip to the big city of Montreal. During that same trip I bought my first camera with a twenty dollar bill I had just found in a department store. I was hooked. Photography became another outlet for my creativity.

Little did I know back then, that I would travel to far off places and come back a changed man.
