The Graduate

Jonathan
Our family traveled to Vancouver last week to celebrate our oldest son’s graduation from Engineering. They each received an iron ring from a retired engineer during a private function, that apparently bordered on cult like. Not quite Opus Dei or the Priory of Sion, but you get my point. We were not even allowed in to witness the event and only knew of its conclusion when the white smoke billowed from the rooftop...

Jonathan leaves fro Australia in June to work for a mining engineering firm, then will be back in the fall to complete a couple of elective courses that apparently slipped through the cracks during his first months of post secondary education a few years ago. Engineering, rugby plus alcohol - a bad mix...

Can’t believe he is turning 22! Guess we can rent his room out now... Good luck Eddie!

My First Blog!


My Three Sons

Excuse my profound ineptitude when it comes to anything web related, but I thought it was time to delve into this blogging phenomena, while it was still relevant, to share some philosophies about family, life and work - and in the process, maybe help network my business a bit.

First off, I have a serious affliction called TKDS, or as the experts refer to it as, Technical Knowledge Deficiency Syndrome. I am not currently on any medications to reduce its emotionally draining symptoms, but would be happy to have some prescribed if it helped reduce the pain, anxiety and confusion it causes, or just to understand what the hell HTML or JavaScript meant...

I am a graphic designer and photographer based in Kelowna, BC, Canada, and offer a diverse range of services - from portrait and action photography to logo design. Contrary to my opening paragraphs - this I am pretty good at.

I have over 25 years experience in the industry and have an affinity for sports related photography and creative imaging. I have been freelancing for the past 10 years, and have had the privilege of working for many great organizations, including The Edmonton Eskimos and Edmonton Oilers - hence my passion for sports related design.
