It could be the intensity of a wolf's stare, a silver droplet of rain at the tip of a leaf or the determination of a child learning a new skill. The world around us is filled with many, many amazing scenes. Photography is about the emotion of the moment and capturing it to present that emotion to others.
I am always looking for unique places to photograph - be it a secluded seaside village, an abandoned barn, a pond frequented by wildlife. But good photos can be created practically anywhere.

The rest of the story:
Since junior grade school I'd been diligently studying the photos in newspapers as well as Sports Illustrated and National Geographic magazines and decided I wanted to try my eye at becoming a great photographer. I'd read that anyone can be anything they want in life if they're prepared to put in lots of work and persevere. And if you really enjoy what you are pursuing, then you are miles ahead on your journey. Not really grasping the depth of this statement, I ventured ahead anyway.
In my early trial and error stage, I started photographing at The Gazette, the University of Western Ontario's student newspaper. It offered valuable experience in meeting deadlines and overcoming technical difficulties of which there were many. Then in the early 1980s I expanded my horizons further, photographing mountains in Alberta while working as a waiter (now called servers) at the Chateau Lake Louise.
