Photography has afforded me a window on the world. At times, mine has been a very private and solitary view—alone in a canoe on the Qu'Appelle River at daybreak, in New York City's Central Park in the rain before the onslaught of Sunday strollers, deep in the bowels of Antelope Canyon, or in the sleepy town of Jerome listening for the first diesel truck to emerge from the four-mile switchback up Mingus Mountain.

At other times, it has been a very busy scene—onboard a Newfoundland longliner making ready for a five-day run at the shrimp grounds, onsite during multi-billion-dollar mine expansions, during the Treaty Four First Nations pow-wow, or during a media tour of a uranium mine.

Whether capturing the feel of the moment or the facts of the matter, a photograph, I believe, should be evocative and meaningful.
