My passion and my job.

I'm a sports photographer specializing in ice sports such as hockey and speedskating. I've photographed many of the pro/Olympic teams and major sporting events in the Rocky Mountain region. I love it, I live for it, and I couldn't imagine doing anything else.

Ink. Permanency. Irreversibility. Thinking before you create or the alternative: letting mistakes become a part of the process. Ink represents life to me. I feel there is great beauty in experiencing what exists now, accepting what is already drying on the paper and discovering what is about to be created. For me, ink means I'd rather live a life of "oh wells" than "what ifs".

I feel the same way about my job as a sports photographer. The truth is, when you shoot fast sports like I do...hockey, speedskating, bobsledders I don't care how good you are or how great your equipment is...this is what you get: crap crap crap crap GEM crap crap crap crap. And isn't that how anything worth doing always is? You're going to screw up 90% of the time. But it's worth it, for that one great shot.

***

Photographer, writer, etc. who has a great love for ink and can often be found throwing it around at paper.
Interests

Have a Sense of Humour



"You have to have a sense of humour to be a sports photographer. Really. Because crazy things happen and athletes make the goofiest expressions. They also chew gum, munch nonstop on their mouth guards, squint, drool, spit, breathe with their mouths wide open, fiddle with their gloves and chin straps, unzip their hockey shorts all the way to the crotch, and yes, cover up their faces with their hockey sticks. Photographing a professional hockey team is like being married to sixteen different men who all leave the toilet seat up and a bunch of beard stubble in your sink."

Utah Grizzlies hockey socks from a team sale. Well at least that was what the guy claimed.

A puck! Some new gear! A new stick! A pro hockey player all wrapped up with a ribbon and being mailed to my house?! You did remember to put holes in the box before you mailed him right? :P
