# Interests
Favorite visual artist: Probably my father who was a tremendous architect and could draw me anything I asked to my perpetual awe and delight.Favorite movies: I want a movie to seduce me. Not erotically, but intellectually. It has to make me think and make me feel and make me smile and make me laugh. That said, "Ma nuit chez Maud", "Field of Dreams" and "The Lion King" are probably my very favourites.
Favorite TV shows: I rarely watch television and when I do it's because I'm watching a hockey game or a horserace.
Favorite bands / musical artists: Like film, I'll listen to just about anything if it inspires me.
Favorite books: The Epic of Gilgamesh in all of its various translations.
Favorite writers: Wilde, Stevenson, Melville, Dumas, Eric Rohmer, etc.
Favorite games: Hockey (ice), Rugby, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Elder Scrolls, Divinity Original Sin 1 & 2, No Man's Sky, Civilization
Favorite gaming platform: PC
Tools of the Trade: Ink, Canon camera/lenses
Other Interests: Horseracing, hockey, mountains and gardening, quiet nights watching French films and taking a silly sort of pride when I understand them.
# About me
Ink. Permanency. Irreversibility. Thinking before you create or the alternative: letting mistakes become a part of the process. Ink represents life to me. I feel there is great beauty in experiencing what exists now, accepting what is already drying on the paper and discovering what is about to be created. For me, ink means I'd rather live a life of "oh wells" than "what ifs".I feel the same way about my job as a sports photographer. The truth is, when you shoot fast sports like I do...hockey, speed skating, bobsledders I don't care how good you are or how great your equipment is...this is what you get: crap crap crap crap GEM crap crap crap crap. And isn't that how anything worth doing always is? You're going to screw up 90% of the time. But it's worth it, for that one great shot.
