This image of me and my beloved Natasha was taken during a promo shoot for my True Blue Spirit article. Saved from near death, I found the starving pup healing from a gun wound that left her blind in one eye nearly 6 years ago while on assignment for Western Canada Wilderness Committee in the East Shore Wilderness Area near Lake Winnipeg. Since then she is always by my side and together we travel Coast to Coast in our endless search of capturing the amazing Canadian Landscape on film.

In March of 2010, I was invited by host Mark Forsythe to speak on his CBC Radio programmed, the BC Almanac Show about spring photography. We talked about composition, lighting, time of day and other nature photography topics.
