The Blogger in Question (Bio)

This is the part where I introduce myself. I am a professional photographer based in Vancouver, BC, where I have lived off and on for the past 20 years. My time away has been spent working in Whistler, studying in Victoria or Ontario or traveling for work. While I have and I do travel for fun, there has been a lot less of that in the past four years.

I studied for, and recieved, a bachelor of Humanities from the University of Victoria in 1999. At UVic I studied BC and Canadian History with forays into art history, film studies and sociology. Yes it was a classic liberal arts education, and no, I don't regret my choices. Things have turned out pretty good for me.

After UVic and a two year break I enrolled in a two year diploma progam in Photojournalism at Loyalist College in eastern Ontario. I completed the two year program in an accelerated ten month stream and dived into the daily grind of daily news. After being turned away by a number of smaller community papers in BC I was offered an internship at the Spokesman-Review in Spokane, Wa.
