Introduction Derek, son of a musician from Europe – as a small child loved spending hours under his dad’s grand piano, listening as he practiced for his upcoming concerts. This powerful experience of real “surround sound” determined his life choice – the arts! He studied music, and also photography – requisitioned the family bathroom to serve as darkroom. Already in his teens, he won awards and exhibited works, while simultaneously continuing his education and giving concerts. With university studies completed, he further pursued his professional career in the arts. After arriving in Canada from Europe, he expanded his professional interests to include multimedia and graphic design. He has also published books on web design. But music and photography still remain his strongest passion. He works as a photographer and graphic designer. And, he keeps photographing…photographing…and photographing… PLEASE READ Basic Comments here.
