Storyteller: Off to Ecuador

Off to Ecuador

When autumn falls on the West Kootenay my thoughts usually drift from a seemingly endless summer to anticipation of the bottomless snow that will soon blanket the amazing Selkirk Mountains. And I dream of fresh days of deep powder skiing and think of friends with whom I share the winter.

But this year it's south to Ecuador and the Andes Mountains, the warm South Pacific coast and remote rivers of the Amazon Jungle. Lost in the excitement and promise of a new adventure, it's almost odd that I feel a soothing voice deep within me. It quietly assures me that these special mountains and the shores of Kootenay Lake is where I belong, and offers me the comfort of knowing that I will always return to my beautiful homeland.

My next post will be from Quito, Ecuador in about ten days. I'll be posting regularly from South America with all kinds of stories and photos.

So keep checkin' in.

About

With over 35 years as a professional photographer and photojournalist for me the focus has always been the human element.

Whether shooting editorial or commercial assignment, creating portraits in studio or on location, documenting cultural lifestyle or capturing the action of adventure.

The human landscape intrigues me. It is ever changing, endless in its complexity, and profoundly interesting. It is where my camera has drawn me over and over again.

My passion for photographing people endures to this day as the sole reason I am a photographer.
