Manitoba, Up Close and Far Away

Manitoba is full of things worth stopping for: the red crown of a woodpecker, a bee dusted gold with pollen, fog settling over a quiet field. Every creature has its own way of being in the world, and this is where I share the ones I have found. Wander through bird photography, macro, prairie landscapes, and black and white, and stay as long as you like.

What I love to photograph

Some days it is a heron on the river, other days a single drop of dew. Whatever the subject, I am happiest out there looking, so come take a look with me.

Stories from the field

The best moments outdoors are rarely planned. These are the stories behind the frames, told as I remember them.

Manitoba bird photography

From tiny hummingbirds to white pelicans with wings that spread nearly nine feet, Manitoba is a remarkable place to watch birds, and it is where most of my photographs begin. Every species has its own page with the story behind the photographs and a gallery of my favourite frames. Here is a small sample from the collection.

Manitoba wildlife photography

From bison on the open prairie to a fawn hidden in the tall grass, Manitoba is full of wildlife worth slowing down for. Every species has its own page with a gallery of my favourite frames. Here is a small sample from the collection.
