- Experience Music Project:
This is the web version of a show exhibited exhibited at the
RA Photo Club in February 2006. They are images from a
November 2005 trip to Seattle where I
photographed the Frank Gehry designed Experience Music
Project museum building and its surroundings. I loved the
colours, the curves and the reflections. It was a fairly
quiet place on a weekday afternoon in November and a very
neat place to walk around. The image at
the right will take you to an extended web version of the
showcase. Enjoy!

- Nature 2006:
Every year the members of the Nature Group
of the RA Photo Club put together a presentation of slides
taken in nature over the past year. Select the photo on the
left to view my (slightly augmented) contribution.
The images are primarily from the big island of Hawaii where
the tropical east side is a nature paradise. I've also
included a few shots from around Ottawa as well as a couple
from a trip to Banff.

- Looking Up in
Istanbul: Some of the most interesting architecture
in Istanbul puts a great strain on your neck. Looking
Up is a collection of images of a some exquisitely
decorated domes and ceilings of the churches, mosques and
palaces of that great city. They are massive, high, full of
light and artfully covered with intricate designs using both
frescoe and mosaic. Much of the art in the buildings that
were once churches (now museums) were covered until fairly
recently since it offended the accepted religion. The
covering probably saved some of them from the deterioration
of the ages.
- Hagia Sophia: A
series of five images from the interior of this massive and
magnificent church-mosque-museum that formed my
contribution to the November 2007 Slide Showcase at the RA Photo
Club.

- Turks: One of the joys of
travelling in Turkey is photographing the people. I found
them all very friendly and quite willing to let a
photographer into their life. My minimal Turkish
language skills -- merhaba/hello and
photo? -- and a smile were the main
ingredients. This short sequence for the
RA Photo Club's December 2007 Slide Showcase consists of
six images of people from
Anatolia -- basically the rural parts of Turkey that we
visited during October of 2007.

- Denmark Dreams: A
series of monochrome images of Denmark all enfused with the
foggy glow of the Orton technique that serves to highlight
the special light that we experienced to this northerly
country during our visit in the spring of 2007. These images show best as
large prints on paper, but this short showcase should give you a
a feel for these slightly other-worldly images.

- Mexico Print
Candidates: This is selection of colourful images
from our winter trip to the Yucatan Penninsula. In January we travelled
mostly around the town of Tulum in the South end of the
state of Quintana Roo but also enjoyed a fruitful visit north into the
State Yucatan and the old colonial city of Valladolid.
The photos include sunny beach scenes, Mayan ruins,
colour filled street portraits and otherworldly cenotes from
above and below the surface. Each photograph was chosen as a
suitable source for printing and framing.
