Occupation Wine Merchant
Location St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada
Introduction I'm a retired teacher now working in the wine industry in Niagara. I'm currently employed by Inniskillin, one of the best known wineries in Canada. At times I do tours and tastings at her sister winery, Jackson-Triggs. I use a Canon 60D, G9 and Digital Rebel to take photographs at every opportunity. I photograph anything but really enjoy nature and travel photography. I live near the Welland Canal and love to photograph the ships as well as the people, flora and fauna along the pathway. I am the official photographer for the Niagara Chapter of the Ontario Wine Society. I document OWS events and post the images on the society web site. I have been married to Margaret for almost 45 years and we've produced two wonderful daughters, Cheryl and Heather. We have 3 grandchildren who are very photogenic and often show up on my blog.
Interests Music, photography, travel, wine, and family.
Favorite Movies Buster Keaton's THE GENERAL, Danny Kaye's THE COURT JESTER, anything directed by Howard Hawks.
Favorite Music I'm a big fan of all types of music. Currently I'm into Jazz and blues in a big way. I love John Pizzarelli, David Gogo and Count Basie.
Favorite Books I'm a voracious reader and read books from mosts genres.

If we are all heroes, who sits on the curb and applauds when the parade goes by?
