Street Portraits From India
My favourite photographs from India are of people: what I call street portraits. I don’t ask people to pose, but I do make eye contact, and a connection, when I take their picture.

Vernal Pools: Spring in the Wetland
The seasonal ponds in the woods, that dry up by mid-summer but then fill up again the rest of the year, are one of my favourite parts of the woods.
Nova Scotia, Briefly
Our plan was a drive around Nova Scotia, starting in the south and, time permitting, ending with a trip around Cape Breton. We were only a few days in when the hurricane warnings started, though, so we had to make some adjustments as we went along!
