My last featured print for the year, Arles Staircase was captured in a stairwell off Arles’ central church cloister. The unusual light was what drew me and I had a rare moment when no one was in the shot.

When I passed this small passageway, Is stopped in my tracks. I must have spent 20 minutes in this same spot, trying multiple minute variations in angle and exposure, panicked I would miss such a perfect image. I think my wife kept going for a good ten minutes before realizing I wasn’t behind her anymore…

Prior to this trip to London, my primary medium was acrylic paint. I had just purchased my first digital camera, reluctantly traded in my trusty Olympus OM-1 and was visiting my cousin in England. The fluidity of transferring the digital images I captured on the trip to Photoshop and then being able to work in a simulated painting/darkroom environment was very exciting and I quickly found myself eschewing paint for camera and mouse/stylus. This image blends photography with digital painting techniques.

Sunset across the caldera viewed from Fira, on the island of Santorini. It’s hard to find a place this photogenic.

This elegant winding stair can be found in the back garden of the Musée du Moyen Age in Paris, tucked away in a shadowed corner.

This textured door in Greece caught my eye right away. As always, the colours used in this part of the world are stunning.

This image of Ogden Point, on an early, foggy morning is brand new – in fact, I haven’t even decided on an edition yet. It’s such serene place early in the morning; no one else around. You feel like you could just walk right into the fog and disappear.

I’d like to print it very large, backmounted, custom-sized for a large space in someone’s home or office.

One last Luminara print for this xmas lead-up. You can view the entire series in the Luminara gallery.

Victoria’s now-defunct Luminara festival in Beacon Hill Park was one of my favourite sources of imagery. Lanterns and light installations scattered across the entire park created a wonderland of warm light.
