I am a real estate agent and a photographer, blending the two passions into what you see here. Selling condos and lofts, I am very cognizant of the pace of development in Toronto. I love seeing the conversion of an old factory or warehouse into lofts – even more when I see the same joy in the face of a client viewing such a unit.
Our world is filled with structures, some forgotten and others well-loved. What stories do these buildings have to tell… what scenes have those stones witnessed? Why is the human race so obsessed with erecting these monuments made of metal and brick – and why do they so carelessly abandon them when they are no longer needed?
These are some of the questions I like to address in my photography. I lived for many years in a small town north of Toronto and saw many old farms left to rot. It was these old barns and silos that originally piqued my interest in the decayed. Now exploring the urban landscape, my goal is to bring the documentary power of my camera to the hidden areas of cities everywhere.
Co-founder and member of the DK Photo Group and co-owner of galleryDK – this vision has taken me to new heights. The work of the DKPG and myself was recognized by Bravo!TV in a 6-show series “photoXplorers” that ran from November 5th through December 10th, 2009
I am immensely proud to announce that I was elected to the both the Ontario Society of Artists, as well as the Society of Canadian Artists, in 2009. This sort of recognition by my peers is a very major honour.

Unfortunately the link is dead, so I cannot link to it. Nor did I manage to copy the text to reprint here. But we were all interviewed by Daniel Baird for the Globe. The story ran on October 31st and was the biggest and best promo the show got. Russell got a photo on the top of the front page, while we all got our pix included with the story.
While I do not remember the entire story, the last line stuck with me:
“This show will appeal to the discerning television watcher looking for something different. It may not be for everyone, but neither is Grey’s Anatomy.”

Better than the CanWest story that called us “nerdy, talkative and average-looking”!
