Canadian Wildlife Photography Tours and Workshops

Hello everyone, it’s been quite the long and winding road for me and my wife this summer and early fall as we’ve spent the majority of our time dealing with the aftermath of the Alberta floods which ravaged our house (quite literally — if you haven’t seen any of my flood videos, check out my […]
