Coincidence
Each print in this series consists of two images which interact to create a linkage of time and space, of artificial and natural, suggesting that whatever circumstances are apparent in a given moment are part of an infinitely complex universe of circumstances.
Valley
This is where I live, in the Lower Fraser Valley as it has been called by the Europeans who settled here beginning in the eighteenth century. The region was inhabited for some 10,000 years previously by the Stò:lõ people whose name is synonymous with the river.
Chance Encounters
These are protraits of people I met by chance and who consented to having their picture taken. One exception was a man haranguing people on a street corner about the evils of sin. They appeared to be unemployed and lining up for a free meal. The preacher did not want to be photographed but I did anyway.
Dogs
Pictures made mostly at dog shows in the seventies. These events and the people involved seemed surreal to me at the time. Weird might be a better term.
The Best Place on Earth
The title is a promotional slogan designed, apparently, to promote tourism. It seems to me rather crass and tasteless, especially in view of the rampant social problems that continue unabated In Vancouver's core.
Construction
Having worked in the construction industry for a few years I decided to start bringing my camera along to record some of the strange scenery of the business of building townhouses and condominiums for maximum profit.
Barbarian Press
Jan and Crispin Elstead operate a fine letterpress, near Mission. These are from a photo essay for their Publication Hoi Barbarbarii
Tadoussac galleries
A major part of my work consists of photographs made in and around Tadoussac Quebec.
