| Introduction | An award winning photojournalist in Whistler, and then South Africa. As chief photographer for the Whistler Citizen and Squamish Times, I won four major press awards and freelancers working under me won an additional two press photography awards. In 1994, I moved to South Africa to photograph the transformation from Apartheid to free rule, and ended up spending more than two years photographing there. While I was the Durban photographer for the Mail & Guardian newspaper in 1996, it was awarded the British IPD Best International Newspaper Award, and the Missouri Medal for Distinguished Journalism. I returned to Whistler in 1997 and began working as a wedding, portrait, and event photographer. Today I photograph over 40 weddings a year, from small elopement sized weddings to large weddings with over 200 guests. I’m still active as a photojournalist, having been instrumental in the launch of the independent newspapers The Sea to Sky News, Garibaldi News, and Urban Pie Magazine.
