Rail Call

Don't Lock Me In

 Both of these images were recently created from images I've captured during my many walks along the shores of Mud Bay in the South Surrey/Delta area of BC, Canada. While the place won't win any awards for sandy beaches, the bay definitely lives up to the "mud" part of its name attracting shorebirds, their predators and songbirds of every kind. Worth the jaunt south of Vancouver if you have a hankering for some wide open space and experience a bit of nature too.

I'll have these two images available also at the Granville Island Public Market in Vancouver when I have my table set up there.

Vancouver Series - A Third Image!

The weather has actually been quite nice this winter season on the West Coast. Fortunately for this moody series I was able to photograph this view of downtown Vancouver in early January. It was definitely a little on the "un-sunny" side!

"raincity i, Vanocuver, BC"

This series will develop slowly as the right combination of weather and light is important. Prints will be available as the series progresses!

Vancouver Series - Girl In A Wetsuit

Here is number two in what I will be striving to turn into a new series over the coming months. Images of various things "Vancouver" that have spoken to me as a resident of the area.

Girl In A Wetsuit, Vancouver, BC

This image is of Elek Imredy's bronze sculpture "Girl In A Wetsuit". She is a prominent Vancouver, BC landmark, sitting here in midwinter fog just off the seawall surrounding Stanley Park. She is lovely and graceful. I always take a moment to look at her when I'm near her in the Park.

Sentinel at the Gate - New Work

A Few Fruits

Making an appearance at the Granville Island Public Market this weekend (Sept 26 - 28/14) and beyond, four new fruity still life images of the humble pear. Photographed and treated to impart a vintage quality, but printed in colour to celebrate their wonderful tone and texture.

Flying the Coop!

Pigeon Flight, Granville Island, BC

Illumina Photographics is moving house! The photographs and all the stuff I need to make them are leaving the beautiful mossy greens of North Vancouver and finding their new home a little farther South near the sunny shores of White Rock. From one end of the BC's Lower Mainland to the other! So, from July 24 through August 2 I'm closing up shop. I can still accept orders during this time however price quotes and order fulfillment will be resuming as of August 6. Onward ho!

Lenscratch "Backyard" Online Exhibition

Check out this interesting online photography exhibition on Aline Smithson's Lenscratch contemporary photography blog. The exhibition's theme is the "Backyard" and it's always curious to see what a word like "backyard" can mean to different people. Whether the image is representational or interpretive, these images represent a broad and varied landscape, existing perhaps in the reality of terra firma or maybe just inside our minds.

My own image "reflections of another home" is included on page four of the exhibition. It is an image looking through the inside of a room, from the outside to a backyard. Another home is reflected in the surface of the glass enclosing the room. I was intrigued by how all the different elements related to and influenced one another, yet still remain separate in function and identity. I must admit I have a strange attraction to reflections, they appeal to my sense of the surreal. Reflections of many kinds seem to be creeping in to my work more and more often these days.

Enjoy the exhibition!
