PHOTOGRAPHY

I enjoy capturing images of nature, landscapes, or anything in which I can find beauty or a story. I recently took a course on contemporary portraiture with Vendula Ralkova, and am diving into portraits in the streets and in the outdoors. Click on the picture to see more.

ROCK CLIMBING

Climbing rocks! I get out as often as research and teaching allows me to. As an assistant organizer for the Vancouver Rock Climbing Group, I have help others discover the activity in a safe setting.
