Dennis’ Photo Journey

Decorating your own gingerbread houses is a special tradition for this family but a lot of behind-the-scenes, loving preparation has to happen first.

On a quick trip to the Comox Camera Club recently, I was so thankful to have two opportunities for some portrait photography. One was with Mick Maxted.

There's no need to travel around the world when we have such beauty right here at home. A visit to Vancouver Island is good for the soul.

When I got a call to photograph a weekend ukulele seminar in Harrison Hot Springs, I couldn't wait! I was looking forward to visiting a beautiful location and working with eager students while enjoying their music. On top of that, here was a photography assignment where I could bring my wife along.

"I have just have to photograph this!"  said Julien, as we explored the natural beauty we were finding on our walk in the river.

I was an impressionable young teenager when the Beatles rocked the world. For all of my high school years, their music reverberated through my soul.

Last week I attended a photography workshop in Drumheller, Alberta with Dave Brosha and Wayne Simpson called Character.

Having just returned from two weeks of adventure and many stories from Peru, my original thought was to share one photo from each day.

Attending the First Nations celebration of the lunar New year, I saw, heard and felt the profound joy of honouring one's tradition and culture and the freedom in being true to one's spirit.

I've taken on the personal challenge of reviewing my photos from 2016 with a critical eye and selecting a dozen that represent my most satisfying work.

My good friend Chris Harris enjoyed the evening of a lifetime recently when he and his partner Rita launched the last of 13 self-published books about the Cariboo Chilcotin, in BC's central interior.

What a privilege to work with Chris Harris and ten photographers for a whole week of photography in a remote location! The week ended on a high as our students described personal breakthroughs in their creative vision and asked to do it all again!
