photography, mulimedia, qtvr, web development, and that sort of thing.
Thanks for visiting. I'm a photographer, teacher and web developer in Toronto, Canada. This site contains a few portfolio projects and some bio info. I've worked primarily in corporate communications, with a few editorial assignments here and there. I have a modest exhibition history and some of those portfolios are shown here. I'm also involved in two development projects overseas and there's some information about those projects here as well.
Feel free to contact me about anything you see on this site, or about current affairs in general.

News, and whatever
Another term has wrapped up, and the day to day projects continue. Recent work includes web devlopment for the Blue Mountain Tour of the Arts, Patricia Langer, and ongoing updates for triangle studios. I've just finished an interesting project for glassbox television - an ipad magazine for the Travel & Escape Channel. This featured the newly minted process of creating qtvr for iPad and iPhone - without flash. This is a welcome development and is opening an entirely new field and range of applications for immersive panorama work.
Recent photographic work includes portraiture for the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) and event coverage for Communique Ltd.
My work with NCDF and FogQuest is moving along well. NCDF is collaborating with Engineers Without Borders and the Engineering for Developing Countries department at The University of Colorado at Boulder. I maintain a small blog where I post some of the new images from the Nepal projects.
FogQuest has a full roster of projects in operation and in development. I'm still working on a new collector with FOST (Foundation for Sustainable Development) (see projects page) in Nepal. I'm hoping to have an operational prototype this year.
Saving the biggest news for the end here - in March (the 4th, to be exact) I became a a father for the first time. Her name is Amelia, and she's pictured in a hand kitted hat below. Her mum Cindy is doing well and we're settling into a new life as parents.
My best wishes to everyone as always, and thanks for visiting.

panoramaist
I've teamed up with the folks at torontoist to produce a regular full screen panorama feature called panoramaist. A complete directory of the torontoist features can be found here.
This link will take you to another page featuring an archive of past panorama projects. I'll be updating these into new html 5 panoramas as time permits.
