He has presented lectures at NFRCC and CAPA conventions and is sought after as a photography motivational speaker and workshop instructor in the Greater Toronto area.

Techniques of capturing images of frost., starting with window frost onto frosted domes to frosted globes.
How to “help” and “induce” mother nature to grow your own? The medium is soap film.
Design and execute the whole scene from subject (frost) to camera tricks, to lighting to capturing short fleeting moments, before they all disappear and then start all over again.
At least every growth is unique, as are the picture opportunities. All you need is low temperatures and no wind.

Hello WCC Members,
It’s time to try something new and different with your photographs.
The Photo Art Contest allows 2 entries as previous contests but both are open categories and allow more editing choices as well, along as they are all your work and not AI.
Guidelines for photo sizings are the same (1920 max for width, 1020 max for height) and for filenames use PA1 for your first entry and PA2 for your second entry. Please put your name in as you would use it, with first name first, and use capitals where needed in normal English usage — as it will be viewed.
Due dated for your entries is in 2 weeks on Sunday, April 27, with results showing on May 22 at the GALA at St. David’s Church.
Looking forward to seeing your creations.
