On March 24, I presented my Cornice photograph in a group show entitled 'Big Pictures'.

The 21 x 28" photograph was mounted, matted and framed in a beautiful wooden gilded frame.

It was a very exciting evening. So many people came to the premiere!!

Montreal winters are not something that I miss!!

in the metro - the people of the tunnel

Montreal is a city of tunnels. Miles and miles of tunnels - leave your coat at home

how I got a cold

I spent a day walking in Ottawa, not too long ago. For this, I got a cold that will not leave my lungs

the lakes are melting...

at home again, on seymour mountain. I can't get enough of seymour in the snow. there's a magical attraction for me there - I keep returning several times a season.

A hard day of skiing still beats an easy day at the office
